Situated in the southwest of Sri Lanka, within the heart of the North Malé Atoll in the Maldives, One & Only Reethi Rah has found its sanctuary. Nestled in a mythical natural haven with six kilometers of pristine beaches, the hotel invites visitors to indulge in absolute relaxation and explore a fascinating marine world.
Lost between the azure sky and endless waters, One&Only Reethi Rah creates an atmosphere where time seems to stand still. The island is adorned with majestic palm trees, while a gentle sea breeze refreshes sunny days. With its 12 white sand beaches opening onto sublime lagoons, 118 villas, internationally renowned restaurants, and a spa hidden amidst palm groves and vegetation, One & Only Reethi Rah is an exclusive haven that opens the doors to a paradise brimming with both aquatic and terrestrial experiences.
Various Villas
One&Only Reethi Rah offers 118 luxurious villas, each providing a unique experience. As night falls, your independent villa becomes the stage for a magical evening. Beach Villas offer breathtaking views of the ocean, while Water Villas are situated above the lagoon, connected to the land by picturesque walkways. The two Grand Residences, nestled in the heart of tropical greenery, provide exclusive access to the largest private beach areas.
One&Only Reethi Rah’s Beach Villas captivate with a design that leads from spacious outdoor areas to a private beach and turquoise sea. Some feature a private pool, while the Two-Villa Residence connects two independent villas to create an oversized retreat, perfect for families and groups of friends.
Water Villas overlook the crystal-clear waters of the lagoon. Overwater terraces offer direct access to the ocean, complete with a hanging hammock to enjoy the sun and gentle breeze.
The two Grand Residences, located in the heart of vegetation, are true sanctuaries. The 2,056-square-meter Grand Residence, with 3 bedrooms spread across 2 villas, offers multiple living spaces, a 56-square-meter infinity pool, and an entertainment area with an outdoor cinema, all just steps away from a private beach. The Grand Sunset Residence, similar but with two pools, provides an equally exceptional experience.
Gastronomic Offerings from Around the World
The restaurants and bars at Reethi Rah are an invitation to a global culinary journey. From Middle Eastern delights at Fanditha to Japanese fusion cuisine at Hoshi, the options are diverse. Botanica offers farm-to-table creations served under the atmospheric Banyan Tree. For light meals, the Beach Club serves freshly grilled seafood and wood-fired pizzas, while Rabarbaro offers a casual Italian experience. The Rah Bar invites you to dance as night falls. The hotel also offers a series of private dinners, each more romantic and exclusive than the last. We particularly love the dinner in the rotunda in the midst of vegetation.
Unforgettable Aquatic and Island Experiences
The Maldives beckon with all kinds of terrestrial and maritime adventures and discoveries. Staying at One&Only Reethi Rah, embark on marine expeditions by yacht, Dhoni (iconic traditional Maldivian boat), canoe, kayak, or windsurf; dive into the ocean and its reefs populated by charming turtles, majestic manta rays, or captivating dolphins and sharks. Alternatively, opt for a deep-sea fishing expedition.
On land, explore the island at your own pace on a bike, take art classes, or engage in sports activities such as tennis, padel, volleyball, football, or even climbing. One&Only Reethi Rah also offers unique tennis experiences in collaboration with Serbian tennis player Janko Tipsarević.
For families, the KidsOnly club offers numerous dedicated activities: creative workshops, cooking classes, turtle snorkeling, traditional Maldivian drum lessons, ensuring both entertainment and enlightenment for young travelers.
The Spa: A Sanctuary of Well-being
The One&Only Spa, isolated from the rest of the island, is a haven facing the sea, offering complete revitalization of the mind, body, and soul. With 14 treatment rooms, pavilions dedicated to yoga, Tai Chi, and meditation, the spa offers tailor-made experiences in collaboration with the ESPA brand. Among them, Nature’s Resonance by ESPA offers an immersive journey based on sounds, touch, and nature to harness the healing energy of the island.
The spa also offers hand and foot care treatments developed by French “foot virtuoso” Bastien Gonzalez, as well as hair transformations at the One&Only hair salon.
