PRIVACY, luxury and space are the hallmarks of One&Only Reethi Rah, an exclusive all-villa retreat on one of the region’s largest resort islands in the Maldives.
Reethi Rah, which means ‘beautiful island’ in Dhivehi, the national language, is home to 130 of the most luxurious and spacious villas in the Indian Ocean, ranging from splendid beach villas, with large verandas and direct ocean access, to grand water villas featuring magnificent sunbathing platforms, ocean hammocks and extensive leisure areas.
Many of the beach villas have their own pools, set amidst 109 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds.
Great attention has been given to preserving the privacy of guests with beach villas being spaced at least 65 feet apart, while over-water villas are set in small clusters of four, on walkways which stretch far out into the lagoon, to enhance the feeling of solitude.
Just 75 minutes by luxury yacht from Malé international airport, One&Only Reethi Rah, located in the North Malé Atoll, has set new standards in five-star comfort with its space, design, 12 soft white sand beaches and personalised 24-hour villa host service.
