One&Only Reethi Rah *****

Untethered from the outside world, One & Only Reethi Rah evokes an unrivalled sense of freedom. Here, on one of the most spacious and fertile islands in the Maldives, a feeling of liberation infuses every encounter, creating a captivating stage for romantics, families, wellness seekers, and adventurers. Unlock a sense of childlike wonder as you cycle along palm-shaded pathways, discovering hidden corners and 12 secret beaches fringing the island. Feel a deep connection to nature as you tune into the gentle rhythms of the Maldives, letting the sun set the tempo for your day, from early morning yoga to sundowners on the shoreline. Designed by Jean-Michel Gathy, each thatch-and-timber villa has been artfully designed for unparalleled privacy and effortless barefoot glamour. Immersed in lush foliage, wander from your secluded beach villa straight onto a private stretch of sand. Or step from your overwater villa directly into the turquoise sea below. Embrace exceptional one-off moments above and below the waves, as you cast a line for your dinner, swim with gentle nurse sharks, or master the art of free-diving. Back on the island, disconnect from the world and reconnect with yourself at One&Only Spa, an idyllic wellness sanctuary offering watsu therapy, tailored treatments, and Maldivian rituals grounded in the island. The Indian Ocean bounty informs the resort menus, too, with freshly caught seafood at Hoshi Japanese restaurant, abundant tropical breakfasts at Reethi, and island-grown produce plucked straight from the garden at Botanica. Soak up the magic of Fanditha with sunset drinks and a Middle Eastern feast lit by hundreds of twinkling lanterns. Or let our team curate the ultimate private dining experience, from a Champagne picnic on a deserted sandbank to a romantic treehouse dinner, or stargazing and canapés on the water’s edge. Whatever your desires, find the freedom to simply be at One&Only Reethi Rah.
