NH Collection Maldives Reethi Resort

Absolute paradise! I’ve always thought the photos you see of the Maldives with the turquoise sea & white sands were filtered… they are not! It’s real! We searched for an island that was smaller, quieter, we wanted somewhere that was going to feel like a desert island… NH Reethi did not disappoint… our 1st time in the Maldives was absolute perfection! The staff especially Kiki & Babba were exceptional, available to help 24/7… NH Reethi whatever you’re paying these guys is not enough! They go above and beyond! Not over the top in your face pestering you…just the perfect balance of friendliness & professionalism. Also the lady who cleans the rooms..this woman is a diamond!! The food was exceptional, we were half board & it was perfect for us as we don’t drink & 2 meals a day was more than sufficient in the heat! The food in the main restaurant is buffet style, themed nights too, for eg. Italian night/ Maldivian/ Asian, we also ate in the Asian restaurant Kaiyo which was beautiful! We snorkelled & the house reef is fantastic, my husband dived & he loved it. We stayed in an over water bungalow, it was stunning! Had black tip reef sharks, turtles & rays swimming passed daily! I could not fault anything from the island, food, accommodation & staff… 5 stars all round from us! 10000000000000% recommend!

My family and I have had an amazing holiday experience. All the staff have been great with the level of hospitality and service being simply outstanding. Cartoon was particularly brilliant. Having our drinks ready at each meal, knowing what we want at each meal. Our room was cleaned and prepared for bed so exquisitely by Amin each day. The island is so beautiful and the plants and trees are looked after by some awesome gardeners. Snorkelling on the house reef is the best I’ve ever known in the Maldives. Turtles, and a huge array of fish just metres from the beach with an awe inspiring drop off. Can’t fault anything. Huge credit to the hotel staff for organising an emergency transport for my son after he hurt his ear drum.There was someone waiting for us at every step of the journey it was seamless.

An incredible experience, the hotel is wonderful. We would like to highlight Melly, a waitress in the restaurant, who always attended us with a beautiful smile and exceptional service. She is truly lovely!

The staff at Reethi Beach Resort is very friendly, attentive and helpful. You always feel welcome and well looked after. We especially noticed the waiter Majid who was very friendly and helpful and gave us the most beautiful souvenir. Also the music was great and played by very friendly and sympathetic people. Overall a top stay with great service

We have just returned from a truly magical trip to the Maldives, staying at NH Collection Reethi, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a more joyful and peaceful experience in such breathtaking surroundings. The resort has recently been refurbished, with a new team in place since last year, and everything felt spotlessly clean, well thought out, and beautifully maintained. From the moment we landed in Malé, the level of service and care was exceptional. We were greeted on arrival, assisted with seaplane check-in, and then escorted to a private VIP lounge where we could relax with drinks and snacks while watching the seaplanes come and go, a perfect start to the holiday. After a 30-minute seaplane flight and a short speedboat ride, we arrived at the resort and were warmly welcomed by the team, including our wonderful hostess, Kiki. Kiki was simply fantastic, attentive, kind, friendly, and professional. She was always just a message away, helping with dinner reservations, excursions, and anything else we needed throughout our stay. We stayed in a water villa, which we would highly recommend. It was beautifully decorated, comfy bed, and had a terrace opening directly onto the sea. Every evening we had reef sharks, a nurse shark, and even a turtle swimming by! We snorkelled on the house reef, merely stepping from our villa into the sea, no boat trip required. It was an absolute highlight, with tropical fish right from the shoreline! A quick tip: bring or wear a rash suit if you plan to snorkel for extended periods to avoid a burnt back! Our stay included a dolphin cruise and a spa treatment, both super experiences. The dolphin cruise was magical with lots of sightings, some just alongside the boat! And at the spa, which was beautiful, I had a massage with Omi, who was excellent and it was very relaxing. We opted for the all-inclusive package, which included meals at the main restaurant, Jumla, as well as access to the two à la carte restaurant's set menus. The food throughout was plentiful and consistently very good, with themed evenings and plenty of variety. It was also a treat to be able to dine multiple times at the à la carte venues. The island itself is stunning, soft sandy pathways wind through lush landscaping, softly lit in the evenings to create a magical atmosphere. The infinity pool overlooking the beach is warm and shallow, and the sunset bar was great for a cocktail on the comfy loungers. We also loved relaxing on the beach near our water villa, with easy access to drinks from the bar mere steps away, it really was paradise. What truly makes this resort special, are the people. We felt genuinely cared for throughout our stay. The team were always present when needed, yet never intrusive. Their warmth, friendliness, and professionalism made all the difference. A special thank you goes to the wonderful Kiki, our host, and the lovely ladies and gents in the restaurants, you know who you are when I say Hello from Miss Sarah and Mr Paul! Karuna, Sneha, Bharati, WinLai (who made all our meals such a joy), Shahid, and Gaurang, you all made us feel so welcome and I was especially touched by the efforts made for my Birthday. Also, a big thank you to the chef who kindly tried to teach me to make a more professional looking omelette and to Jimmy the chef for the encouragement, I’m still practising at home! We’re also very grateful to Wathana, who cleaned our villa beautifully every day and added such thoughtful touches, including lovely towel arrangements and Birthday palm leaf messages on the bed, Khàwp khun khâ! Thank you as well to Guili at the dive centre for organising an incredible turtle snorkelling trip, and to Rose, the lovely yoga instructor, who took the time to offer helpful advice for classes back home. Apologies if we have missed anyone, every single person we encountered was so friendly, polite, and welcoming and really did make our holiday so special.
