To reach the One & Only Reethi Rah you’ll need to fly to the main Malé International Airport in the Maldives. From there you’ll be met by hotel staff who will put you on a 55-foot luxury yacht for the 75-minute ride to the small island where the resort lies.
Considering this is one of the most expensive water villa resorts in the Maldives, it’s little surprise that the reviews are overwhelmingly positive. Those who can afford the finest get the finest here, as everything from the location to the rooms to the service to the food gets rave reviews.
In fact, reviews this positive might look otherwise suspicious, but the One & Only resort group is known for some of the finest hotels in the world, with service being at a premium. It appears difficult to be disappointed in any way after a stay here, which is very rare.
