Most destinations fail to live up to the glossy brochure hype. The Maldives is an exception. No photographer can do justice to the splendid natural colours – the cobalt seas, the turquoise lagoons, the fiery orange sunsets. The standards of hospitality are outstanding and, best of all, the modern world is a million miles away.

Our pick of the hotels in the Maldives is One&Only Reethi Rah on North Male Atoll. This hideaway retreat sits on its own island surrounded by dazzling white-sand beaches and turquoise bays. Private villas lay on their own stretch of beach or on decking above the lagoon with generous exterior spaces, all with private verandas, some with private pools.
Many of the activities on offer take advantage of the idyllic setting and include desert island picnics, dolphin watching and scuba diving. Children are unlikely to feel left out thanks to the KidsOnly club.
If you want time to yourself, seek out one of the hammocks slung between trees right across the island. ESPA brings healing traditions from many areas of the world to the expansive One&Only Spa, where you can experience custom-designed treatments in an atmosphere of calm within individual treatment pavilions.
Culinary treats are served at the signature Reethi Restaurant which offers a fusion of Far East, Middle East and Mediterranean cuisine, while Japanese-style tapas can be sampled in the over-water Tapasake.
Our well-travelled, knowledgeable team can offer you first-hand advice and detailed information on Reethi Rah and our other fine resorts in the Maldives.
