With its stunning water and gorgeous beaches, a visit to the Maldives from Hong Kong is on many of our travel bucket lists. To help you take it a step further, here’s a look at one of the best resorts in the Maldives for a picturesque place to stay (and with some very appealing perks!).
A Maldives resort and summer oasis
One&Only Reethi Rah is one of the best resorts in the Maldives offering an ultra-luxury vacation in one of its 118 beach and water villas. “Reethi rah” means “beautiful island” in Dhivehi, and with 12 pristine white sand beaches and six kilometres of Indian Ocean shoreline, it’s a name that fits like a glove.
Natural beauty aside, the resort has six diverse restaurants and bars, including Botanica serving farm-to-fork cuisine in a hidden candle-lit garden, Fanditha, an exotic beachside restaurant offering Middle Eastern cuisine, Rabarbaro, for a taste of Italy in the Maldives with pool views, Earth for French Riviera flavours, and Fire specialising in pan-Asian dishes. After dinner, head to Rah Bar for live music and exotic cocktails!
The award-winning One&Only Spa offers treatments, beauty, fitness and wellness in private villas set beneath thatch roofs and relaxation pavilions overlooking the ocean. There are swirling vitality pools, saunas and crystal steam rooms, too, plus beauty treatments at Pedi:Mani:Cure Studio by world-renowned French podiatrist Bastien Gonzalez. Elsewhere, the fitness centre is fully equipped with state-of-the-art indoor and outdoor facilities, and Recharge Bar provides a post-workout energy boost.
Club One is the hub for all things active at the resort; it has a rock-climbing wall, two floodlit tennis courts, an artist studio and a water sports centre offering e-foiling, wakeboarding and more. Younger guests can enjoy the KidsOnly and One Tribe programmes designed to inspire their creativity and imagination.
