About the Resort
Twelve beaches, one island.
Twelve beaches, one island, and the rare freedom to spread out. One&Only Reethi Rah occupies 44 hectares in North Malé Atoll, making it one of the Maldives’ more expansive private-island resorts. Palm-shaded paths link beach coves, gardens and lagoons, while bicycles make exploring part of the experience.
Accommodation spans beach and water villas, plus generous multi-bedroom residences for families and groups. Many include private pools, direct beach or lagoon access, and ample outdoor living space—this is a resort designed for guests who want room around them.
Dining moves from Japanese-Mediterranean plates at Tapasake to garden-led cooking at Botanica, Italian favourites at Rabarbaro and international dishes at Reethi. The One&Only Spa offers sea-facing wellness experiences, while PADI diving, watersports, tennis, padel and beach activities keep days as active as you choose.
Families are especially well catered for, with KidsOnly for younger children, One Tribe for teens and babysitting available on request. Couples will find plenty of quiet corners too: private dining, secluded beaches, overwater villas and sunset cruises all come naturally here.
