A constant favorite among luxury travelers, One&Only Reethi Rah has long been a defining icon of the Maldives — and this year, it climbs to an impressive No. 2 in the Top 10 Maldives Dreamy Resorts 2025. Known for its grand scale, flawless service, and signature style, Reethi Rah continues to set the standard for legendary island living.
Nestled across one of the largest private islands in the Maldives, One&Only Reethi Rah invites guests into a world of expansive beauty, architectural grace, and sophisticated experiences.
Its 12 beaches, palm-fringed lagoons, and legendary villas create an atmosphere of rare grandeur, where privacy and pleasure unfold in perfect rhythm.
A favorite among celebrities and discerning travelers, the resort continues to define what it means to live luxuriously in the Maldives.
Located in Male North Atoll, at 45 minutes from Male Airport by speedboat, One&Only Reethi Rah embodies the ultimate Maldives Luxury Resort and offers unrivalled level of style, choice and personalized exploration.
An Island of Space and Elegance
If you’re a VIP or royalty, One&Only Reethi Rah is the ultimate choice. The iconic hotel, designed by Jean-Michel Gathy, epitomizes elegance, luxury and opulence in a true Maldivian style.
The island is surrounded by 12 beaches where 122 superb beach villas, suites and overwater residences are elegantly scattered, each well separated and far away from its each other to ensure a maximum privacy.
As expected, each villa is attended by a personal butler.
For an ultimate overwater retreat, Reethi Rah boasts 8 sets of 4 water villas located around the island, each connected by secluded walkways. Offering absolute privacy, the water villas are proposed with or without private pools.
The resort’s Residences are among the most impressive villas in the Maldives.
At the pinnacle sits the Grand Sunset Residence, a sprawling three-bedroom beachfront estate of over 2,400 square meters with its own private beach, two pools, and an exclusive entrance. Designed with cathedral ceilings, calming neutral tones, and curated furnishings, these villas deliver an experience of absolute space, seclusion, and effortless elegance.
Dining Across the World – Six Restaurants, One Island
One&Only Reethi Rah celebrates the virtues of oriental culture and exoticism with an exquisite choice of cuisine ranging from Japanese to Middle Eastern, Asian to Mediterranean served at 6 elegant dining venues.

Guests can enjoy barefoot lunches on the beach, romantic dinners overwater, or private culinary journeys crafted by expert chefs — all while surrounded by the island’s natural beauty and effortless style.
Wellness, Discovery, and World-Class Facilities
True to its name, One&Only Reethi Rah offers far more than a stay — it delivers a lifestyle. The award-winning spa is a serene oasis, offering tailored treatments and holistic wellness rituals including a tranquil Watsu pool. Reethi’s spa is one of the most beautiful overwater spa in the Maldives.
For the active at heart, the resort features two championship dreamy tennis courts, a rock climbing wall, a beach club, and a PADI National Geographic dive center.
