A truly elegant resort, One&Only Reethi Rah is grand in every sense of the word. The journey to bliss begins on One&Only’s 55-foot luxury yacht where check-in takes place on board whilst guests enjoy drinks and canapés en route to the resort. The stunning floral design, featuring signature orchids bred by world famous London florist Stephen Woodham, sets the theme of the island.


The spacious guest villas – whose décor look and feel is sleek and elegantly tropical, using beautiful materials and contemporary styling – are carefully placed around the island to maximize privacy and offer uninterrupted views of the surrounding lagoon.


The One&Only Spa, set apart on its own stretch of island shore, has more than 100,000 sq. ft. of space to relax and rejuvenate, and its over-water Chi pavilion will take any Yoga or Tai Chi session to a whole new level of spirituality.


The resort has an impressive range of restaurants and bars that promise immaculate service, whether you’re enjoying freshly caught sushi at the over-water Tapasake restaurant, or a meal beachside at the Arabian-themed Fanditha.

This spectacular over-the-water restaurant overlooks One&Only Reethi Rah’s west beach, allowing guests to watch the sun set over the ocean as they dine. A variety of seating includes the sea-view deck, chef’s table, sushi counter, laid-back sunken pods or romantic, covered deck seating. On the menu, superb fish and seafood, fresh out of the Indian Ocean, are transformed into Japanese sushi and sashimi prepared in front of you. The wine list concentrates on the world’s best Rieslings, currently taking wine critics by storm. Open for dinner only.


Fanditha

If the idea of dining with your feet in the sand while enjoying ocean views appeals, Fanditha – meaning ‘magic’ in Dhivehi (the Maldivian language) – is for you. Set on the northern tip of the island it offers casual dining with a unique Arabian beach concept, chill-out ambience and open views. The dress code is relaxed – no shoes, jackets or ties – just a sarong or wrap, shorts and t-shirts. Guests can laze on divan-style bolsters and Arabic carpets, on driftwood loungers or in woven hammocks, while enjoying live DJ entertainment. The aroma of home-baked bread is in the air and diners can choose from a wonderful range of healthy but filling grilled food and salads. Open for lunch and dinner on selected evenings only. Sunday champagne brunch.


Rah Bar

Next to the main pool and aimed at swimmers and sunbathers who don’t wish to move far, Rah Bar has a great all day menu of healthy salads, wraps and snacks. Low-fat smoothies made with exotic fresh fruits and vegetables, a variety of waters, and a fresh juice station provide the perfect accompaniment.
