About One&Only Reethi Rah

One&Only Reethi Rah sits on a 44-hectare private island fringed by 12 white-sand beaches in North Malé Atoll, 15 minutes by seaplane or 45-55 minutes by luxury boat from Malé. Its 118 villas span Beach, Water and Grand Residence collections, each guest assigned a personal 24-hour Host. Eight dining venues, the One&Only Spa's Pedi:Mani:Cure Studio, and a FIFA-approved football pitch alongside floodlit tennis and padel courts round out an island built for space rather than density.

Recommended For

Families

KidsOnly and One Tribe run complimentary, team-led activities for children and teenagers respectively, and Club One's beach-club programme covers all ages — three separate age bands each with their own structured activities on one island.

Divers and snorkellers

A string of reefs rings the island for snorkelling and diving, and a Dive Centre is marked on the resort map — IMJ confirms operator and reef specifics directly with the resort before booking a diving-focused stay.

Multi-generational groups

The two Grand Residences sleep up to nine across three bedrooms behind a private gated road, with their own outdoor living and dining area and a chef preparing meals on site — built for a family or group that wants one address rather than several adjoining villas.

Before you book

How do guests get to One&Only Reethi Rah from the airport?

Two options from Velana International Airport: a private seaplane, about 15 minutes, or a luxury boat transfer of 45-55 minutes. Both are the resort's own stated routes to the island in North Malé Atoll.

What villa categories does the resort offer, and do they all have private pools?

118 villas run across three collections — Beach, Water and Grand Residences — with pool and non-pool categories named separately within the Beach and Water groups (Beach Villa and Water Villa carry no private pool; Beach Villa with Pool and Water Villa with Pool do). The spec-sheet doesn't state whether the Grand Villa, Two-Villa Residence or Grand Water Villa categories include one — IMJ confirms at booking. The two Grand Residences are three-bedroom compounds with their own outdoor living and dining area and a private chef.

Is One&Only Reethi Rah suited to families?

Yes — KidsOnly runs complimentary activities for children and One Tribe does the same for teenagers, both with dedicated team members organising scheduled activities. Club One, the resort's beach club, runs activities for all ages, and a dedicated Clinic is marked on the resort map.

What dining options are there?

Eight venues: Reethi for theatrical French-Asian-Japanese dining, Hoshi for omakase reached by boat, Fanditha for beachside Middle Eastern cuisine and sunset views, Botanica for farm-to-fork garden dining, Beach Club for salads and grills, Rabarbaro for Italian, Rah Bar for day-to-night drinks, and a Private Dining team for bespoke setups on the sand. Exact opening hours for each venue aren't published in the resort's factsheet — IMJ confirms them at booking.

What is the house reef like, and can guests snorkel or dive?

The resort describes a string of reefs around the island for snorkelling and diving to explore Maldivian marine life, and a Dive Centre is marked on the resort map — though the factsheet doesn't name the dive operator or give reef depth and visibility detail. IMJ confirms these specifics with the resort directly before booking a diving-focused stay.

What wellness facilities does the resort have?

One&Only Spa runs 14 treatment villas and rooms, a WatSu pool, and the Chi Pavilion for yoga and meditation, plus a state-of-the-art fitness centre with an outdoor Queenax training area. The Pedi:Mani:Cure Studio by Bastien Gonzalez is dedicated to feet, legs and hands, and two further venues cover hair and men's grooming.
