A wonderful stay, perfect under every aspects , all the details were well taken care of. magnificent

If you are an Island traveler - than the O&O Reethi Rah is a must in this experience. This is a destination that is like no other, and worth the travel time no matter how long it may be. The Destination is one worth traveling for - the water is the most superior Water in the world. Pure turquise Blue, warm and you can see your toes for miles! The Sand is basically powdered sugar - and is endless. The One & Only Reethi Rah is set on a large Atoll and yet the general feel is still so intimate and private. The property has done an amazing job of offering so many different experiences. The Food is some of the best in the world - Fresh , organic and the variety is extensive. Their newest Japanese Teppan grill - Sushi restaurant is finer than anything you will find anywhere in the world with views that never end, food and cocktails that you've never seen and you just wonder how they actually created this in the middle of nowhere! They have recreated a beach Club like you would see in Greece, perfectly equipped with a live DJ, colorful cabanas with food and drink service, a toes in the sand beachclub restaurant and just a few little extras like a rock climbing wall, game area with pink pong, pool , foosball....professional tennis and pickleball courts, Great shops , and even an ice cream parlor! Take a cart ride around the corner, and you will be on a private beach with endless white sand and warm perfectly turquoise water that you can walk a mile out into! Then perhaps back to your amazing Villa that offers the very best of privacy, decor, and complete comfort. An amazing spa offering some of the most unique and luxurious treatments. The service is beyond your expectations as is the staff. They have worked there for years - and are so excited to welcome you and welcome back the regulars (that do always come back!). The excitment and enthousiasm is contagious and it quickly becomes the best trip you have ever imagined. I seriously in all of my travels cannot recommend any desitnation or property more than this property - it is like taking a trip to what I imagine Heavan is like!

If you are in two minds just do it. Fabulous island with the most amazing staff. I have never been more relaxed in my life!

The most amazing experience, Reethi Rah was one of the most incredible places I have ever stayed. The service was outstanding, each and every staff member were so polite and accommodating, such lovely and caring people who really made you feel like you mattered. I would go back in a heartbeat!

One&Only Reethi Rah is, quite simply, paradise—no matter your age. From the moment we arrived, it felt like home. The warmth of the team, the thoughtful details, and the effortless hospitality made every moment special. Nothing was ever too much trouble, especially for our wonderful Villa Butler, Eugene, whose attentiveness made our stay even more seamless. The food was exceptional—every single meal, a testament to the highest quality. When I needed a special soup for my children, the Chef not only made it but created the most delicious version we’ve ever had. In-villa dining was equally thoughtful, anticipating our request and having it ready the moment we called. The kids' club was another highlight. Even with the stunning beaches and pools, my children kept asking to go back—a testament to the kindness and energy of the team. And then there was the moment when the General Manager, Jan, took time to drive my eldest around in his special red buggy—an unexpected, heartfelt gesture that made my son's day. At the same time, my parents-in-law celebrated their 47th wedding anniversary, and the team went above and beyond to make the occasion unforgettable. It wasn’t just a one-time gesture—everywhere we went, the staff knew it was a special day for them, making them feel truly celebrated. The spa—just incredible. I went once, and I had to go back. It was that good. Living in Dubai, life moves fast, and this was the perfect reset. Whether it was jetskiing, enjoying the kids’ pool, or simply soaking in the beauty of the island, there was something for everyone. Having stayed at countless luxury resorts, what sets One&Only Reethi Rah apart is its soul. So many resorts feel modern, polished, and ultimately, the same. This one has character. It’s luxurious, yes, but never pretentious. The service is world-class, yet infused with a genuine Maldivian warmth that makes it feel truly special. For us—kids, parents, and grandparents—it was the perfect escape. A place we’ll return to, because it didn’t just feel like a vacation. It felt like home.
