Surrounded by the crystal blue waters of the Indian Ocean, nestled within lush tropical gardens and fringed with pure white sand beaches, One&Only Reethi Rah in the Maldives is an ultra-luxury, all-villa resort offering an unrivalled level of seclusion, choice and personalised exploration. Situated on one of the largest private islands in North Malé Atoll, there is an abundance of space, freedom and activities to discover.

Conveniently reached by a 45-minute luxury yacht journey from Malé International airport, or 15 minutes via private seaplane, from the moment guests set foot on the island, they are transported to an unforgettable, idyllic Maldivian paradise.

Home to some of the most exceptional, spacious villas in the Indian Ocean, all are detached, expansive and luxurious. A total of 122 villas, including 90 beach villas and 32 water villas, are situated discreetly along the shoreline where crystal clear waters lap gently. Each villa, whether on a private powder-white beach or suspended above the turquoise lagoon, is a self-contained private sanctuary.

Beach villas are separated by lush vegetation, while water villas connected to the island by overwater walkways are in small clusters of four, each villa facing a different direction providing privacy and a serene setting. Every villa is traditionally thatched by local craftsmen and features a contemporary, Asian-influenced design blending elegance and style with natural beauty, using materials such as coconut shell, sea grass, silk and mahogany.
