"There are luxury resorts, and then there is One&Only Reethi Rah — a place so impossibly beautiful it feels less like a hotel and more like stepping into a dream. From the moment we arrived, every detail was flawless. The island itself is breathtaking: powder-soft white sand, crystal-clear turquoise water, lush tropical greenery, and villas that redefine privacy and elegance. Whether waking up to sunrise views from our beach villa or watching the sunset melt into the Indian Ocean, every moment felt cinematic. What truly sets Reethi Rah apart, however, is the service. The staff somehow master the rare art of being both impeccably professional and genuinely warm. Every request was handled effortlessly, often before we even had to ask. You are not treated like a guest here — you are made to feel like the only people on the island. The dining was exceptional throughout. Each restaurant offered something unique, from world-class Japanese cuisine to fresh seafood and unforgettable beachside dinners under the stars. Even breakfast became an experience we looked forward to every morning. The attention to detail across the resort is extraordinary. Bicycles waiting outside your villa, perfectly curated interiors, immaculate beaches, tranquil spa treatments, and endless activities — snorkelling with vibrant marine life, paddleboarding in calm lagoons, or simply doing absolutely nothing in paradise. What makes One&Only Reethi Rah so special is that it manages to feel both grand and intimate at the same time. It is luxurious without ever feeling pretentious, exclusive yet deeply relaxing. Every corner of the island is designed to create a sense of peace, beauty, and escape from the world. We have travelled extensively and stayed in some of the finest hotels globally, but Reethi Rah exists in a category entirely of its own. It is not just a resort; it is an experience that stays with you long after you leave. Quite simply, one of the most magical places on earth."

"Perfect place and hospitality"

"What a magnificent experience！So far the best resort I’ve ever been to:). Not just the views and the facilities, but also the service and all the staff there. The sea view on the island was stunning, and I barely saw any seaweed in the lagoon. Breathtaking views from all angles on the island, especially in your room. Rooms were big and comfy, with beach villas you don’t just have the room, but a whole private area, it was just so large. And I have to mention the housekeepers. Every time we came back from the outside, our room would be tidy as new，even my makeups were put in order. All the staffs there were so nice and were always there for us, when I say all of them, I mean it! Staffs at the restaurants, staffs at the lunch area, staffs at the beach club and the buggy drivers, etc :p… And our butler Yiting，she was always smiling and was so helpful. Always trying her best to find anything we might need. And my favourite part , the restaurants! Love the Thai omelette from breakfast! And the noodle soup! Yummyyyy! They even had honeycomb :p My favourite restaurant for dinner was definitely the Mediterranean restaurant! “Gambas” was amazing!!! You can’t really go wrong with any food there. Will definitely go back again!"

"It was our third stay at Reethi Rah and we were again overwhelmed with the choice of activities and the kindness and helpfulness of the personnel. Having missed Fandhita, the other restaurants, particularly Tapasake, and Botanica, were excellent. On the Missoni Beach, we would like to mention Ibrahim, Pranna and Ksenija who provided an excellent service. At the resort, Yting and Alejandra were very helpful as hosts. Also the staff at the Kid's Club, including Rassi. deserve a special mention. When we departed from Male Airport, there was a long delay at the checkin and Niyaz and Hussain were extremely helpful in smoothing the process. In addition, the villa cleaning staff excelled themselves (122 and 124). As a general remark, we would prefer a slightly higher charge for the stay instead of having to pay for all the extras separately , e.g. rock climbing with the children in the afternoon, to name one activity. Clearly the resort is in good shape under the management of Jan Tibaldi. Overall. we enjoyed our stay enormously. Nick and Esther D, Switzerland."
