Reethi Faru Resort Raa atoll

Opened in December 2017 in Raa atoll, this new sister resort to the long-established Reethi Beach is already proving very popular. The island was originally a coconut plantation so there are lovely areas of beautiful lush foliage in many parts of the resort. It's definitely a 'barefoot' island with a lovely authentic feel, and a gently rustic style although the detached villas are all new. There are a number of dining and bar options too. The Family Deluxe Beach Villas are very nice with 2 separate bedrooms (one king and one twin + space for an extra bed) with a separate living area in the middle and a large front deck which runs the length of the villa. The house reef can be accessed via 8 different channels – four on each side of the island, clearly marked.
