Reethi Faru Resort

Booked with Angelfish Travel In the UK who were superb from start to finish with their great advice and personal service. A postcard when you get home is a lovely touch. Their ground handlers Hummingbird were also fantastic at Male airport and so supportive. Travel/ transport Travelled with Virgin - flights booked independently with reward points Transferred to standard lounge. Reethi Faru doesn’t have its own lounge at the seaplane terminal. It seemed a long wait - 2 hours - until flight was called . Other resorts we have been to had their own private lounges and these were nicer. We were unaware what time was our scheduled departure which made it feel longer . Welcome Great welcome at the island and everything well explained . Lovely welcome drink and cold towel. We booked a beach villa and the full dine around package . This was all fully explained so we knew exactly what was included. Had asked for a villa in the 350s but were allocated 328. However this was a perfect location for us. To be honest I don’t feel there was a bad location of villa. Restaurant booking - you need to book the à la carte restaurants so we block booked for a few days. Very easy to do at reception and we were able to get exactly what we wanted for each evening. Room service Luggage was really quick to the room and we met our room boy Rajid who was great throughout and explained how we should get our mini bar restocked - part of the dine around. He was very good and always very friendly and helpful. He did us some towel art towards the end of The holiday and also a welcome and happy birthday with the flowers on the bed. He was very personable and incredibly good at his job. The island Island is beautiful. You can nearly walk all the way around on the beach - just one part we couldn’t get through near the pool villas. There are sandbags on that part of the beach where there has been some erosion but I don’t feel this detracts from the beauty of the island. House reef in this area was very good and hubby enjoyed the snorkelling here. Food Food superb! They suit all tastes - if you want a burger or pizza it’s there but they also have plenty of local flavours and the curries are fabulous. No fresh prawns or other such delicacies that others describe ( I assume that’s the difference between a 5 star and a good 4 star) but overall I found the food to be excellent! Anything is better than cooking and washing up yourself right? The overwater tends to be international food so you can get pizzas pastas burgers grills and seafood . Reethi Grill has Indian curries and grills both meats and fish. All menus are online and give a good idea of what you can have . Buffet has a theme every night and they always seem to have Maldivian options too. We didn’t dine there in the evenings but did do lunch a few times . Always good salads, pastas and grilled options. Good service from waiters for drinks and clearing tables. There is also a veggie and vegan restaurant - we ate here just 1 evening, great food but service was slow, they advised that it was because there was no sous chef that evening . We were only advised of this at the end of the meal. There is also a further chargeable restaurant - that is payable even if on dine around package. Again menus online. We didn’t try this one - the setting looked good but no better than Reethi Grill in our view. All inclusive dine around With the dine around as well as the all inclusive drinks ( blue on the menus) there are also a selection of wines you can get by the bottle. ( again blue on the menu) Not all were available so we tended to stick to a couple of the roses or a red each evening with our dinner. Final night was also my birthday. The staff in Reethi Grill were fabulous! We got the ‘ best table’ with flower decoration and we also got a birthday cake with candles and they sang to me. It made the holiday and really made me feel special. Diving and snorkelling My husband dived and snorkelled and said the reef was very good compared with others he has dived. The dive team are excellent. Holiday overall Excellent- was very pleased with the choice of the island. We would definitely return and maybe wouldn’t do the dine around as we felt the buffet was very good - we would then just pay for a couple of evenings in Reethi Grill. Would also look to stay in a water villa next time too as a change of perspective . All in all a great island with superb staff providing an amazing service.

I wanted to write a review about the kitchen and buffet on Reethi Faru. I was there during the time when Sous Ched Rajesh orchestrated the kitchen. And it was absolutely amazing. Everyday we had something new for a dinner. Rajesh was experimenting with different cuisines: italian, american, swiss and much more. And there was not a single time that I didn't like the food. I was looking forward to each meal.

Just returned from an 8 night stay at the resort following 6 nights in India. Reethi Faru was the perfect place to recuperate. The island was not too big (45 minutes maximum walk around). The restaurants were all first class, particularly the Grill and Dhiyavaru where we breakfasted every morning with superb service from Riaz. The water villa contained everything you needed and the service from everyone on the island was first class. Many thanks to all

We were there in early November, our first time in the Maldives, and we truly felt blessed by Reethi Faru. The overwater bungalow was beautiful, with a great bathroom and perfect lighting. The beaches are super clean, the house reef is stunning, and snorkeling or freediving there is incredible. Even though the island hosts around 300 guests, you never feel it — there’s plenty of space everywhere. The bars and restaurants are great, and I’d absolutely recommend booking the buffet: it’s honestly the best buffet I’ve ever had in my entire travel history. The staff are extremely friendly and supportive, always making everything possible. Compared to other islands, there are no boats passing right in front of the beach — it’s super calm. Only the seaplane lands 2–3 times a day, and that’s actually quite interesting to watch. Highly recommended.

We are currently staying at Reethi Faru Resort, and this place is absolute paradise. We were warmly welcomed by the lovely reception team, who escorted us to our Deluxe Beach Villa with Full Dine-Around All Inclusive — truly amazing. 💕 All the staff here are so professional, friendly, and helpful; you genuinely want for nothing. Our beach villa is beautiful — very clean, spacious, and serviced twice a day by housekeeping. The food in every restaurant is exceptional, and the chefs are outstanding. The management team should be incredibly proud of their staff and this wonderful resort. We’ll definitely be recommending Reethi Faru Resort to all our family and friends.
