Reethi Faru, Bio Luxury Resort

This is a truly wonderful place. The barefoot experience of wandering around along tree-lined shaded sandy pathways with little bars and restaurants along the way, manned by delightful staff, watching enormous fruit bats fly overhead (confusingly all through the day). The food at the several restaurants is fresh, well-prepared and beautifully served - delicious. Local cocktails are pretty and fruity. The restaurants do have set service times, but you can usually find a snack somewhere. And then there’s the sea - oh my goodness! We’ve been to some beautiful beaches fringing beautiful sea but this is something else. The very epitome of a tropical paradise!

Wonderful house reef - sharks, turtles, sting rays, dolphins, seastars and many fish Quality and selection of food in all restaurants excellent Service staff very friendly & competent Beach Villa was a dream - cleanliness top, very comfortable bed, super nice terrace and stunning open bathroom Beautiful white sand and Cristal clear water, clean beach, resort takes care about environment and sustainability practices

Amazing five days in paradise! I booked a garden villa and decided to upgrade to a water villa! Worth every dime! The house reef is amazing with a free guided snorkel excursion daily! My Swedish massage was the best I have had in years! Staff is amazing! I’ve got a lot of allergies and they created a meal daily so I could eat! It might be a long flight to get here, but you will be in feel calm, rejuvenated, and at peace when you leave!

I have never been to the Maldives before and me, my Mum and Dad wanted to go, so we booked to go to Reethi Faru and it was amazing. We stayed in a Deluxe Beach Villa and it was so lovely. The first time you enter the villa and you feel the air conditioning was more than welcome. The view was also pretty stunning. Our villa is literally on the beach. I would strongly recommend booking the Beach Villa. The food was fantastic. There are 2 all inclusive options to choose from. We opted to go for the dine around all inclusive, where not only we went to the buffet, plus a la carte options are included too, apart from specialty items like lobster, where you get 25% off them. The drink selection is also great. I completely forgot to tell you. Our villa, room 306, was not next door, but the next door after one of the beach bar. There are a lot of lovely staff at Reethi Faru, but one of the waiters who I would recommend the most, is Jani. He is one of the waiters of Reethi Grill, one of the amazing a la carte restaurants. He is so lovely, funny and super informative. Let’s just say, he’s like a new best friend. Please book a holiday to Reethi Faru, as soon as possible. You won’t be disappointed.

Barefoot luxury without being excessive. We had a fabulous week here in deluxe beach villa 332. This was the perfect location on the island. We had considered being thrifty and staying in a garden room but being on the beach meant you have your own loungers and shade so you don't have to worry about where you are going to hang out. Mind you, apparently the resort was pretty full but you didn't really notice it and there were a lot of loungers on the beach by Nala bar ( the best beach by far for sand and snorkelling) so if you are going to stay in a garden villa I suggest asking for one close to Nala. The pool and hot tub villas looked to be mostly in areas with no beach due to erosion, and poorer reef. The over water villas look to be the same inside as the beach villas. They might be great, but honestly, they didn't look that inviting from the exterior - just rows of tightly packed villas on stilts. And the reef isn't great around them. I'd prefer the beach villas to these. The resort is very eco-conscious - kudos to them. We went on a tour of their 'behind the scenes' operations (a huge area that you don't see at all from the guest areas) and witnessed their commitment to the environment on so many levels. Their staff deserve a huge shout-out for their warm smiles, friendliness, and helpfulness. The house reef was best near Nala bar and was pretty good in comparison to many other countries and reefs we have been to. Hints: don't bring much footwear - you will be barefoot day and evening even in the restaurants. Except if you do use the gym which requires runners. Bring reef safe sunscreen. We didn't have enough and it costs $48 US in the gift shop! We are light eaters so opted for the breakfast plan and did a la carte for our lunches and dinners and drinks. We think we saved $ and had more options. The buffet restaurant does have great food and changing variety though. Please pay attention to reef etiquette- we saw people (not many) standing on the coral :- so know where you are allowed to enter and exit the water where there is a path clear of coral (it's marked, but not well).
