Our opinion
Hammocks have been placed around The One and Only Reethi Rah, providing ideal space for relaxing
Hotel description
Located on one of the largest islands in the North Male Atoll, One&Only Maldives at Reethi Rah has over six kilometres of private coastline and an elegant tropical feel. With twelve soft white sand beaches, there is plenty of space for you to relax under the shade of an umbrella as the dazzling turquoise waters lap at the shore. Facilities at the resort make the most of this superlative location, from complimentary windsurfing, canoeing and snorkelling, to PADI scuba diving courses and speedboat excursions. Guests can also enjoy a game of tennis or volleyball, or be whisked away for a deluxe ‘desert island’ picnic. Hammocks have been strategically placed around the resort, providing ideal space for relaxing with a book, or for a little pampering, a superb array of rejuvenating ESPA treatments are offered in the spa. There is a variety of dining experiences to be enjoyed at the One&Only Maldives at Reethi Rah, including Reethi Restaurant. Located on the eastern side of the island, this is the resort’s main restaurant, serving A la Carte dishes with flavours from the Far East, Middle East and the Mediterranean in thatched pavilions over the water. On the west beach is the spectacular over-water Tapasake restaurant, which serves a combination of fresh fish and seafood sushi and sashimi. Alternatively, for a more casual ambience, food is served all day at the Rah Bar, from salads and wraps to snacks and smoothies. At night it transforms into a cocktail bar where live music can be enjoyed. The resort has 130 spacious villas, all of which have direct access to the lagoon and beautiful ocean views. Each villa is extremely private, boasting either their own secluded sandy beach or private deck over the lagoon. Decorated in natural materials with a graceful tropical feel, they range from Beach Villas with wood and thatch exteriors and views onto a private stretch of beach, to Grand Water Villas with an over-water pool. One&Only Maldives at Reethi Rah is a first class resort on a beautiful stretch of beach, offering luxurious accommodation.
