One&Only Reethi Rah
North Malé Atoll, Maldives
One&Only Reethi Rah has been inviting guests to disconnect and reconnect since 2005 -– and still it remains top of its game. The ultra-luxe private island resort is in the North Malé atoll, teal-and-indigo Indian Ocean in every direction. Reclining on one of the dozen powder-soft beaches, you’d never know you’re only a 15-minute hop by seaplane from the capital Malé. This tropical haven is dedicated to switching off, whether that’s with a bespoke treatment in the spa, navel-gazing by one of the three pools or sailing into the golden sunset on a local dhoni. For those looking to up their BPM, there are two tennis courts, a water sports centre, a FIFA-approved football field, climbing wall, gym and the PADI Dive Centre, where instructors will take you on a private tour to discover rays and turtles. Although time moves at a deliciously slow pace, staff are a hive of activity, especially in the six restaurants and two bars which offer culinary mastery in stop-in-your-tracks ocean venues. The 122 thatch-roofed villas – either beachside or overwater – are testament to the design genius of Belgian architect Jean-Michel Gathy: sleek, secluded and seriously luxe.
