One&Only Reethi Rah keeps its Forbes five stars and begins refreshing selected villas

One&Only Reethi Rah, in North Malé Atoll, and its One&Only Spa both hold five-star ratings from Forbes Travel Guide. It is the sixth year in a row for the resort and the second for the spa. The resort says the spa is the first and only five-star spa in the Maldives.

Selected villas are being refreshed

The resort has started a series of planned improvements to selected villas, to make them more comfortable and practical. It says the work is being managed so that guests are not disturbed. It has not said which villas are involved or when the work will finish. Ask us before you book and we will check what is happening around your villa on your dates.

What it means for your stay

The spa is not in the package we sell, so treatments are paid for at the resort. Book them ahead if your dates are busy. The spa opens daily from 9.30am to 8pm.

Families are well looked after. KidsOnly takes children aged four to twelve and One Tribe takes teenagers aged 13 to 17, both daily from 10am to 6pm. Babysitting is available from six months to twelve years for a fee.

Several restaurants open on selected days only, so plan your dinners early. The resort's speedboat from Velana takes about 45 minutes and runs around the clock, so a late landing still reaches the island that night.
