The Reethi Rah Island Resort - A chic resort offering a level of style and sophistication unsurpassed in the Maldives. Set on one of the largest islands in North Male' Atoll, adorned with endless white sand coves and turquoise bays, all villas have direct access to the lagoon and an unprecedented degree of privacy. Villas, service and dining are geared to guests accustomed to the highest world-class standards.

There are 26 atolls in the Maldives. They stretch from 600 km southwest of Sri Lanka across the Equator, covering an area of the Indian Ocean the size of Portugal or the US state of Maine. Of 1190 islands, just 200 are inhabited while an additional 90 have been transformed into resorts.

One & Only Reethi Rah is unusual in that it is spectacularly designed in an octopus shape with an extraordinary 6 km of coastline. As a result, villas are wonderfully spacious and all guests can enjoy beautiful ocean views and access. The resort is only 35km from the airport at Male'. A 50-minute luxury launch ride directly to and from the terminal allows guests to stay as late as possible on the island before leaving for their flight.

Accommodation: One & Only Maldives at Reethi Rah is home to 130 private villas discreetly placed along the shore - with 98 Beach Villas secluded by lush tropical greenery, and 32 Water Villas set above the clear, protected waters of the lagoon. Among the largest resort villas in the world, each is detached, expansive and equally luxurious.

Designed with a contemporary elegance, their stylish feel is combined with a diverse Asian influence, blending clean lines with skilful use of natural materials such as coconut shell, sea grass, silk, rattan, teak, mahogany, terrazzo and thatch. Generous exterior spaces range from beach verandas to private swimming pools and large over-water decks.

Each attended by a personal Villa Host, the freestanding villas feature the latest technologies and are designed with high airy ceilings complemented by bamboo arches, their spaciousness allowing for a variety of personal entertainment and dining options.
