Voted ‘Number One in the World’ by Condé Nast Traveller UK Readers in 2007, the spectacular octopus shaped One&Only Reethi Rah enjoys an exclusive location on one of the largest islands in North Malé Atoll. Surrounded by endless white sand coves, what a magical pleasure it is to luxuriate on your private sun deck overlooking the turquoise lagoon, or rock rhythmically in a hammock shaded by palm trees. The resort’s 130 elegantly tropical villas, some with private swimming pools, discreetly occupy their own secluded piece of shore or have a deck above the crystalline waters. These are some of the largest resort villas in the world, with high ceilings and generous exterior space, from private verandas and stretches of beach to private swimming pools. The look and feel is sleek, contemporary and natural.
Constantly winning international awards the One&Only Spa has its own lavish ocean facing pavilion, where his and hers amenities are offered in eight luxurious treatment villas. Gourmands will appreciate the fusion of Far East, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes served in the signature Reethi Restaurant. Tapasake offers healthy Japanese tapas, while Fanditha offers more casual food as you dip your feet in the sand, soaking up that view.

In thatched pavilions over water... or on Arabian carpets in the sand... guests enjoy a level of service and culinary creativity that is unsurpassed in tropical island resorts. With an eye towards perfection, the resort features its own organic Chef's Garden, and speciality items such as Kobe beef and toro from Japan are shipped on a regular basis. At One&Only Maldives at Reethi Rah, island chic is the keynote for evenings, and the innovative and fresh cuisine is prepared with passion and flair.
Arabian Restaurant - Fanditha - Hidden on the northern tip of the island is the sensual, Arabesque Fanditha. This exotic, boho-chic beachside spot serves a Middle Eastern influenced menu of mezzehs, chargrills and salads - accompanied by the finest selection of chilled rosés and champagnes. At the lounge area, guests may laze on divan-style bolsters and Arabic carpets, on bamboo loungers or in woven hammocks. On selected evenings, there are late-night parties under the stars, creating a chill-out ambiance amidst chandeliers dangling from trees. Open for sunset cocktails and dinner only.
Japanese Restaurant - Tapasake - Compared to two of London's top Japanese restaurants, this over-water venue combines incredible sunset views with contemporary Japanese cuisine. For the purist, deliveries from Tokyo and Osaka coupled with the chef's hand-picked ingredients ensure sushi and sashimi meet the highest standards. Tapasake's menu features superb fish and seafood, fresh from the Indian Ocean, transformed into modern Japanese cuisine with a twist. In addition to a selection of premium Sakes, the wine list concentrates on the world's best Rieslings, currently taking wine critics by storm. Serving dinner only.
Reethi Restaurant - A temple of exquisite dining, the dramatic design of Reethi Restaurant frames the natural beauty all around and the stunning cuisine, impeccable service and low-key ambience within. An eclectic menu fuses flavours from Asia Pacific and the Mediterranean into a light, contemporary cuisine. Floor-to-ceiling glass screens reveal the ‘open-concept' show kitchen, and a walk-in wine room with an extensive collection doubles as a private dining room for special events. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Rah Bar - Swimmers and sunbathers needn't move far from the main pool to partake in the amazing menu at the adjacent Rah Bar. An all day menu of healthy salads, wraps and snacks also offers low-fat smoothies made with exotic fresh fruits and vegetables, a variety of waters and a fresh juice station. With the fall of evening, Rah Bar is transformed into a vibrant cocktail bar with live music, cool martinis, tropical cocktails, sparkling champagne and a fine collection of vintage rums from the Indian Ocean and Caribbean islands.
One&Only Maldives at Reethi Rah features a variety of unique services and facilities in tune with the needs of discerning travellers. With six kilometres of coastline, the size of the island allows for a range of activities both on land and sea. From the sublime - a traditional dhoni ride at sunset, to the adventurous - deep-sea fishing in the bountiful Indian Ocean, the resort has a myriad of activities for every energy level and lifestyle.
Redefining the concept of the destination spa, One&Only Spa is a tranquil island retreat... a place where tension dissolves with the gentle ebb and flow of the Indian Ocean. Here, well-being consultations are on offer for guests seeking holistic, individualised programmes combining fitness, nutrition, beauty and rejuvenating treatments.
Tucked far away in the South Ari Atoll lies the picture-perfect island of Dhidhoofinolhu, home to a new private island paradise that's set to become one of the luxury superstars of the Maldives.
