Reethi Faru Resort, Maldives

Overview

Our Opinion

Opened in December 2017 in Raa atoll, this new sister resort to the long-established Reethi Beach is already proving very popular. The island was originally a coconut plantation so there are lovely areas of beautiful lush foliage in many parts of the resort. It's definitely a 'barefoot' island with a lovely authentic feel, and a gently rustic style although the detached villas are all new. There are a number of dining and bar options too. The Family Deluxe Beach Villas are very nice with 2 separate bedrooms (one king and one twin + space for an extra bed) with a separate living area in the middle and a large front deck which runs the length of the villa. The house reef can be accessed via 8 different channels – four on each side of the island, clearly marked.

Summary

Reethi Faru Resort located in the Raa Atoll opened its doors in December 2017 and is positioning itself at the 4-star plus level. The island measures 600 x 350m with its house reef a mere 30 to 80m from shore. Reethi Faru can be reached from the international airport by a 45-minute seaplane flight or a 20-minute domestic flight to Dharavandhoo followed by a 30-minute speed boat ride.

The resort will offer 150 villas in different styles on the beach and overwater, including some 2-bedroom family accommodation which will surely be in high demand. The plan is for 5 restaurants and 4 bars.
