Reethi Beach Resort

We have recently returned from our fourth visit to Reethi Beach Resort and it definitely did not disappoint! As the resort is shortly to close for a refurb, we chose to have a 3 week holiday and we were so glad that we did. Everything was perfect! The food in the restaurants were superb - how they provide such beautiful and varied options every day in the buffet restaurant is absolutely amazing. The bars are happy/fun places to spend time and enjoy relaxing drinks meeting new people and making new friends from around the world. Without a doubt the stars of Reethi Beach are the staff. Every single one of them are amazing from the guys who clean up the leaves and those who clean the rooms, to the brilliant restaurant and bar staff. We thank them so much for their fun and perfect service - it made our holiday just wonderful! Special mention for Sandeep and the Sunset Bar staff - amazing fun, plus all of the team in the main bar (sorry too many names to mention individually) but we loved you all - you are all amazing! It was also great to spend some time getting to know Valentin the new GM - thank you so much for your time and great hospitality - it's much appreciated and we hope to meet you all again soon. Swimming on the reef with the amazing marine life is just the 'icing on the cake'! The beach is beautiful with powder white sand - everything you dream a paradise island to be and more. Many thanks to you all! Cheers - for now!

Our first Maldives experience which followed a busy 12 day tour of SriLanka. The ocean is stunning, snorkeling with turtles and sharks was absolutely thrilling. Breakfast and the food in all the restaurants was good. The local reef fish was wonderful. The four days has gone so quickly, we are really sad to be leaving.

What a Fantastic Holiday 😁 Just returned from 2 weeks at Reethi Beach resort and we only have very positive things to say about our experiences with the service, food, staff, facilities and the island. Sea Plane Transfers - arrived at Male at 5am, expecting a long wait for our sea plane, but we were on the island by 7.00am Room - again due to the early arrival we expected to be sitting around. No, after check-in, we were straight to our deluxe sun set beach villa (132). Highly recommend this side of the island as most of the snorkelling, sun for a majority of the day, beach and rooms with mostly private sunbeds. Reef - the best we have experienced. The variety of sea life is brilliant. We were out snorkelling multiple times a day (my wife's first time snorkelling) and I would go for an early morning swim between the buoys. Food/Drink - excellent variety with themed specials each night. Our favs were Maldivian (oh those curries), Street and Indian Ocean. Also have to mention the entertainment as some very good live performances. Staff - the team, appreciating it is a team effort all the way and some you do not see, were fantastic. All the bar and restaurant staff were helpful. We loved their professional yet friendly approach. I've read reviews where people give thanks to people and wondered why. I now know why. Call out to: Ibbe, Bhaskari, Arun and Kokky (restaurant waiters) Sandeep, Mo, Meghna, Jothish and Faloo (Bar) Rubel, Suranga and Rajesh (chefs/baker) Thosif (room) Garden/Maintenance staff who cleaned up very efficiently each day and after some heavy rain GM - approachable gentlemen who pulls this all together, despite what Mother Nature may throw at the island (big storms in Jan to impact the east side. Overall feel - relaxed, not pretentious (hope it stays this way after the refurb), liked the Reethi Garden, and even popped into the gym and the coconut spa (excellent massage). We will await the refurb and pricing. Hoping things remain similar as we would love to come again (there seem to be a lot of repeat customers) as not sure what else you can expect at this price point/star rating.

We were repeat visitors to Reethi Beach Resort and despite the fact that the resort is closing soon for a total refurbishment/ rebrand, the service and food were probably the best we have had there. The new General Manager has already introduced some changes, in particular in the restaurants, which can only be described as very positive; in particular the ‘street food ‘ section at the rear of the main restaurant is great. We must also mention our room attendant, Vikram, who made my wife’s birthday celebration just that little bit more special, and Sandeep at the Sunset bar, but truly, all the staff were just perfect…no frills but just everyone doing that little bit more to make our holiday one to remember. Finally, our thanks go out to Jo, Clare and Liz at Angelfish Travel for brilliant advice and service, time after time.

Everything was perfect for us except that the villas need a bit of TLC - bath and shower mainly. We had good weather the whole time we were there but could imagine a working TV would be useful on rainy days. The desert island vibe and feel to the place - no need to wear shoes at all - suited us perfectly. The tropical greenery and wildlife was outstanding. The service from all staff was also outstanding - in particular from Vikram our room cleaner who was so considerate.
