Nestled in the Maldives’ North Male atoll is One&Only Reethi Rah, an exclusive resort with a name that translates as ‘beautiful island’.

STAY: Be My One&Only

From arrival, expect your every need to be taken care of. Holidays at One&Only are tailor-made by Destinology, leading provider of luxury holidays and experts in creating true concierge experiences – so all the details are looked after for you. 

Once you’ve completed the 45 minute luxury boat transfer from Malé airport, you’ll be greeted with a cocktail in a spectacular welcome reception hosted by the resort’s staff. From there, you can stroll to your private guest villa, which are all beautifully appointed and provide perfect privacy. Twenty-four hour butler service means you’ll never want for anything. 

And after you’ve unpacked, take a seat on your private deck and lap up the enticing vistas of the Indian Ocean. Eat al fresco here in the morning, or explore any one of the seven restaurants and bars offering a mountain of choice for foodies; whether you desire sushi, pasta or plant-based dishes, expect to be well-catered for.

Spa at One&Only Reethi Rah

RELAX: Mind, Body, Soul

One&Only’s award-winning holistic spa is set in 13,000 sq/ft of expansive gardens, overlooking a tranquil lagoon. Enjoy a massage and treatment using ESPA products, featuring only pure extracts of natural ingredients. The experienced spa therapists draw from ancient therapeutic rituals and modern- day research to provide treatments which are unique to the resort. For example, the Watsu pool at One&Only is the first of its kind in the Maldives.

If your idea of the perfect holiday is active as opposed to restful, you’re well provided for at One&Only Reethi Rah. Club One is the hub for activity at the resort; from a rock-climbing wall, tennis courts and a water sports centre, you are given room to keep up your training regime, or to try your hand at a new sport or skill. The water sports options are particularly adventurous; wakeboarding, jet-skiing and stand-up paddle boarding are just the start.

DO: For The Little Ones

The resort serves families particularly well, meaning you can spend time together that they’ll never forget. Create memories for life exploring the underwater wonders of the Indian Ocean with diving and snorkelling excursions for all levels. Or take advantage of the resort’s brilliant children’s programme if you need an escape. Younger guests are provided for via the KidsOnly and One Tribe clubs, and the schedule of activities will occupy anyone between the ages of four and 17, whether it’s a pirate cruise day, an island treasure hunt, or yoga for teens.
