Overview


Opened in 2005, Reethi Rah (meaning "Beautiful Island") was a feat of landscape engineering, significantly expanded into an octopus-shaped island to maximize private beachfront for every guest. Designed by Jean-Michel Gathy, the resort moved away from the traditional rustic "island hut" aesthetic, introducing a soaring, cathedral-like scale and a high-fashion, polished atmosphere. With its 12 private beaches and over 120 villas, it remains the standard-bearer for Maldivian glamour, blending the lush privacy of a jungle estate with a sleek, cosmopolitan energy.

Why We Recommend

Reethi Rah defines Maldivian glamour. We recommend it for its sheer scale and "see-and-be-seen" vibe. With its octopus-like shape providing endless private coves and some of the most stylish beach villas in the Indian Ocean, it remains the playground of the global jet set.
