Rated Travelers' Choice on TripAdvisor
Incredible stay in Maldives
I had an amazing first trip to the Maldives at One&Only. Water, beach and food are 10/10. The staff here were incredibly welcoming and thoughtful.
C
Beautiful hotel with the highest level of service
A magnificent hotel with a very well-kept area with landscape design, which is rare in Maldives. The service is at the highest level, the food in the restaurants is delicious and varied and even the cocktails in the bar are excellent in both taste and unusual serving.

Unforgettable Memories at One&Only Reethi Rah
We had the most amazing stay at One&Only Reethi Rah. The island is absolutely beautiful, the service was excellent, and every detail made the trip feel very special.
Z
A great experience!
One & Only Reethi Rah is a wonderful experience rather than a resort. We were picked up at the airport by their representatives and within minutes heading out in the luxurious high speed yacht for a 45 minute ride to One & Only, where we were warmly welcomed by their great staff.

House reef
2/5

Little or nothing to snorkel off the beach. Some islands in this band run a free boat to a reef — the note below says whether this one does.
There is a house reef, but it is a long way out from most villas and the closest entry is by the Beach Club, on an island big enough to cycle around. Guests who have snorkelled elsewhere in the Maldives are blunt that this is not where you come for it. What does work is the guided reef trip, which is well organised, and the boat out to a proper snorkelling spot, where the fish life is good. There is a PADI dive centre on the island. Come for the twelve beaches, the space and the food, and treat the reef as an excursion.

Choose Your Villa
118 villas on one of the largest private islands in the Maldives.
Beach Villa
On the sand and priced identically to the Water Villa in every band, so this is a choice about where you wake up rather than about money. There are 21 of them, and with twelve separate beaches they sit a long way apart.
- 82 m² inside, 63 m² of terrace
- Your own stretch of sand, no pool
- 3 adults, or 2 adults and 2 children
- Same price as the Water Villa
Water Villa
Over the lagoon, with netted hammocks slung above the water and a split-level deck with steps straight into it. Same price as the Beach Villa. Worth asking about two nights in each: the split costs exactly the same as four nights in one villa.
- 81 m² inside, 104 m² of wrap-around deck
- Netted hammocks and direct lagoon access
- 3 adults, or 2 adults and 2 children
- Under-12s need a signed disclaimer
Free Upgrade
Beach Villa with Pool
The pool category, and the one the upgrade offer targets. Book four nights for travel before 17 October in a Beach or Water Villa and the resort may move you here at no charge, subject to availability. There are 56 of them, more than any other category, so the odds are good.
- 81 m² inside, 126 m² of outdoor living
- 23 m² private infinity pool
- 3 adults, or 2 adults and 2 children
- Target of the free upgrade
Grand Beach Villa with Pool · 2 bedrooms
Two en-suite bedrooms, one king and one with two queens, opening onto a 50 m² pool and your own stretch of beach. Five on the island. It is priced here for two adults, so tell us how many are actually travelling and we will confirm the occupancy with the resort before you commit.
- 185 m² inside, two en-suite bedrooms
- 50 m² private pool
- Up to 6 adults, or 4 adults and 2 children
- Own buggy, Cristal on arrival, sunset canapés daily

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is One&Only Reethi Rah, and how do you get there? +
Reethi Rah is a private island in North Malé Atoll, and one of the largest in the Maldives, with twelve separate beaches. The transfer is a shared luxury speedboat from Velana International Airport, 45 to 55 minutes, and it is included in these prices. The boat runs around the clock, so there is no arrival cut-off and a late landing does not cost you a night in Malé. A seaplane does the same journey in about fifteen minutes, in daylight hours.
What is included in the price? +
The villa for two adults, half board, the return shared speedboat and the green tax. Half board is breakfast and dinner, taken either as a three-course dinner at Earth or as a daily dining credit of US$80 per adult and US$40 per child spent across the restaurants. Drinks are not included on either.
Can children stay free? +
Up to two children under twelve stay free on their parents’ meal plan and eat from the kids’ menu at dinner. A third child is charged. One catch worth knowing before you choose a villa: a child under twelve can only stay in a water villa if their guardian signs a disclaimer. On land there is a KidsOnly club, a One Tribe club for teenagers, a football pitch and floodlit tennis and padel courts.
What is the house reef like? +
This is the weakest part of the island and we would rather say so. The reef sits a long way out from most villas, closest to the Beach Club, and guests who have snorkelled elsewhere in the Maldives are blunt that Reethi Rah is not where you come for it. There is a PADI dive centre and a well-run guided reef trip, but you are taken to the reef rather than swimming to it. We rate the house reef 2 out of 5.
What else is included beyond the room and meals? +
One shared excursion during the stay, chosen from a list that includes sunrise fishing, a turtle expedition, a reef discovery, shark quest and sunset dolphin encounters. Also a sixty-minute photoshoot, an upgrade from a sixty to a ninety-minute massage for guests over fifteen, and one cocktail or mocktail each at Tapasake.
What are the booking conditions? +
Minimum three nights, new bookings only, and up to nine villas on one booking. Stays run to 27 November 2026, and 18 October to 6 November is closed on these prices and quoted by hand. An extra adult is US$1,870 on the three-night package and US$550 for each night after that.
How big are the villas, and how many people fit? +
The Beach Villa is 82 m² inside with 63 m² of terrace. The Water Villa and the Beach Villa with Pool are both 81 m² inside, with 104 m² of deck and 126 m² of outdoor living respectively, and the pool version adds a 23 m² infinity pool. Every one-bedroom villa takes three adults, or two adults and two children. The two-bedroom Grand Beach Villa is 185 m² with a 50 m² pool and sleeps up to six adults.
What comes with every villa? +
A Personal Host on call twenty-four hours, bicycles for getting round the island, the non-motorised water sports at ClubOne, and complimentary laundry for children aged two and under. The Grand Beach Villa adds a four-seater buggy of your own, Cristal Champagne or the sommelier’s wine on arrival, daily sunset cocktails and canapés in the villa, and early check-in and late check-out when the resort can manage them.
