Reethi Faru Resort

My husband and I stayed at Reethi Faru at the end of March, and it exceeded all our expectations. The island is small and very green — you can walk around it along the beach in about 40 minutes, which creates a cozy and peaceful atmosphere. The bungalows are very comfortable, with impeccable cleanliness and housekeeping. The main restaurant offers a tasty and varied menu with themed dinners every evening, and the à la carte restaurants are excellent. The house reef is amazing: we saw reef sharks, stingrays, octopuses, many coral fish, and beautiful live corals — perfect for snorkeling. The staff deserve special mention. Everyone — restaurant team, bartenders, housekeeping, and reception — is attentive, friendly, and professional. You can truly feel the care for guests. We enjoyed our stay so much that we extended it for one more night. Special thanks to Anna at reception for her help and attention — she made the extension smooth and comfortable. We left with the warmest impressions and would happily return. Highly recommended for a peaceful Maldives getaway.

Just returned from our fourth visit and another great time at Reethi Faru. We weren’t happy with our first beach villa as access to the beach was restricted by sand bags but after one night we moved to villa 352 which was a lot better with direct access to the sea and reef. We went on fully inclusive dine around and wasn’t disappointed the food and drinks were great. We did the behind the scenes technical tour which we found really interesting also the Dolphin safari and were very excited to see so many. The staff are really good and a special shout out to our room boy Mizam, waiter Satheesh pool bar staff Nazeer and Ifham. Roberta from reception was also great you always heard her before you see her. 😘

Just returned from 9 magical nights on this amazing island. From the moment you arrive by seaplane transfer which took about 40 minutes, you are greeted by the staff on the jetty then walked up to reception for a quick & smooth check welcomed with a cooling drink & a couple of staff playing Maldivian drums lovely touch.We were shown to our water villa 527 which was just wow we were blown away by the bed decoration & flowers for my wife’s 60th birthday.We had the fine around option which was perfect for us so had breakfast in the buffet restaurant so much choice & great quality. All the food we had in the evenings was outstanding quality with so many flavours & spices great chefs they all come around to make sure your food is all ok. We had drinks in all the bars all very good service the Haruge was nice just after 5 for a couple of Faru classics yum yum, our nearest & favourite was sunset bar. There is a gym which we used every morning opens at 6 has all the basic things in & done the job nice view out to swimming pool & Indian Ocean. Even though the island was full you never ever see anyone it was such a peaceful & relaxing island nice to hear the fruit bats in evening. All the staff are amazing nothing is too much trouble for them & Thank you once again for making our holiday something special 👍🩵

This was our second time visiting Reethi Faru, which in itself tells you how highly we rate it. From the staff to the reef, it’s sublime. Snorkelling is a delight, and you’ll see eagle rays, sting rays, turtles, sharks of all ages, octopus, parrotfish, angel fish…..the list is endless. It’s also the only island we’ve visited where you can fully circumnavigate the whole island whilst walking in the water. The reef can be as little as 10 feet from shore, to 50 feet. So it’s perfect - you get excellent lagoon access, and amazing snorkelling experiences. We love the variety of food served in Vakura, and I always tried the Maldivian cuisine. Staff are so friendly and helpful - shout out to Anish in Vakura. We’ve stayed in an overwater villa both times, and actually prefer the sunrise side, as we got the sun pretty much all day. Our 1 piece of slightly negative feedback relates to the gym. The equipment is old and dated, particularly the cardio equipment. It wouldn’t cost much to invest in a few new machines, and add more weight training equipment. More and more people are focusing on their fitness, and every day we were there, it was busy, so perhaps it’s time to refresh the gym. Other than that, we love the place and will definitely return.

It was our first visit to Maldives and we very happy that we were on Reethi Faru Resort. The island is very beautiful and green. The nature and underwater world are magical. We saw dolphins, turtles, sharks, rays right from the shore, and the snorkeling on the house reef is very impressive, with a huge number of colorful fish. Our favorite restaurant was Diavaru. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. Your pre-meal buns were simply divine. We stayed in a villa with a pool overlooking the sunset, room 416. The only thing that spoiled the view a bit were the sandbags. Otherwise, the vacation was fantastic; it's the most beautiful place we've ever been.
