As far as chic six star resorts go, One&Only Reethi Rah is up there with the best. Offering an extraordinary degree of style and sophistication, it lies on one of the largest islands in North Malé Atoll, just one hour and fifteen minutes by motor yacht from Malé airport.
A member of Leading Hotels of the World, this is definitely the place to go if privacy, über luxury, away-from-it-all escapism and immaculate service are top priorities. Part of the magic lies in the island's unusual shape with six kilometres of outstanding white sandy coves. The villas, which are some of the largest of their type in the world, are each set in their own spacious grounds with direct access to the ocean. Tucked into beautiful landscaping on private stretches of beach or suspended over the lagoon, each is a symphony of sleek, contemporary style. With high vaulted ceilings, double bathrooms, huge verandas and a multitude of hi-tech gadgetry, the interiors have to be seen to be believed. For the height of luxury, the two sumptuous overwater, grand water villas have large swimming pools, suspended sunbathing nets and a host of other indulgent extras.
Island elegance is the order of the day in the restaurants, where service with a smile, exceptional dishes and world class wines ensure every meal is truly memorable. Guests can choose between accomplished fusion cuisine at the overwater Reethi Restaurant or opt for modern Japanese tapas, sushi and sashimi at Tapasake which has stunning sunset views. The cool and casual beachside Fanditha or Rah Bar offer healthy daytime eating and cocktails in the evening.
Should a burst of activity appeal, there are tennis professionals on hand for coaching or partnering, a fitness centre featuring the latest Kinesis Bodycentric equipment and a water sports centre run by trained instructors in sailing, windsurfing and diving. Deep-sea fishing, desert island picnics, dolphin watching and a whole host of other expeditions are there for the taking while back on the island, the superb One&Only spa beckons to those looking for relaxation, regeneration and rejuvenation. Even the young are brilliantly catered for with separate clubs for 4 to 11 year olds and 12 to 17 year olds; just what one would expect from a resort of this calibre.
