Overall Ratings & Reviews Reethi Faru Resort

This property was beautiful. I woke up to an amazing view every morning in my ocean-water villa. I loved the room and the restaurants were also nice. The staff were all kind to me and I truly enjoyed my stay here. The only thing I had a hard time with was no night life lol since my body was on a different time zone so I had a hard time falling asleep.

Exceptional Experience for Vegetarian Delights! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐** I recently had the pleasure of staying at Reethi Faru Resort from December 2-6, 2023, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience. The highlight of my stay was the exceptional treatment I received from the restaurant and kitchen staff. As a vegetarian, I often encounter challenges when dining out, but the team at Reethi Faru went above and beyond to cater to my dietary preferences. The variety and creativity in the vegetarian menu were truly impressive. Each meal was a delightful culinary journey, and the chefs showcased their skill in crafting delicious and diverse vegetarian dishes. The restaurant staff deserves special mention for their attentiveness and warm hospitality. They not only ensured that my dining preferences were met but also provided personalized recommendations that exceeded my expectations. The picturesque setting of the resort coupled with the outstanding culinary experience made my stay truly memorable. Reethi Faru Resort has set the bar high when it comes to customer service, and I would highly recommend it to fellow travelers, especially those with dietary preferences. Kudos to the entire team for making my stay so enjoyable. I look forward to returning to Reethi Faru for another extraordinary experience.

We'd love to stay at the Reethi Faru Resort. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The Water Villa was amazing and the beach/sea was just wow! One little thing we were not that happy was the arrival with the domestic flight. We had to wait about 4h in Malé till our flight to the Resort. However, we absolutely recommend the resort.

Beautiful pristine island with very good snorkeling around the island. Deluxe beach villa is well placed in between the natural tropical vegetation, less than a 50m from the ocean and beautiful sandy beach. The room is spacious and good conditions and comfortable.

It was a good experience but not as luxurious as other resorts

Overall my stay was good. It was so relaxing.. and because we celebrated our 40th anniversary, they decorated the bed w/ flowers and gave us a candlelit dinner on a discount price

Amazing place. Lots of natural foliage was keep in place so stays comfortable even on a hot day. Staff is super helpful and friendly. Spa an amazing tranquil environment. Very evo friendy place. The reef right off the beach is amazing. Food is cheap for the maldives and good. Rooms are beautifully well appointed and new. One negative is the clear bottom canoe is death trap, I'm an avid kayaker and the thing nearly killed me. I was there on my honeymoon but the place seamed pretty family friendly... i visted 3 islands on this trip and wish i had spent the whole time at this island

We both really enjoyed our stay in Reethi Faru. Cannot fault the resort in any way - the room (we had a water villa), restaurants and bars were excellent. As all inclusive guests we ate most meals in the main Vakaru restaurant where we were looked after by an incredibly friendly waiter for the whole time we were there - it was lovely to get to know the staff in general. The activities were really well organised; Sea Explorers Reethi Faru is one of the best organised dive centres in our experience, and the watersports facilities are great. One of the main reasons we chose this resort was their eco credentials; we felt that the resort really did excel here (and we even feel they could do more to market this!). Laura the resort's conservationist was incredibly friendly and knowledgable about how the resort managed things like waste, power and water provision. Being able to assist with reef conservation was both informative and fun. We took the water taxi transfer to the island on the way in, and found it took quite a long time (around 90 mins rather than the stated 40mins) - likely due to the bad weather at the time. That said, all the luggage transfers, etc were incredibly well organised. The seaplane on the return was great, quick and very convenient, as well as being a great scenic way to get a view of the Atolls.

We originally booked a five night stay at Reethi Faru Resort. But the resort was so amazing, we extended our stay by another five nights! We stayed in a Water Villa with amazing sunsets every night. And Rajan did an magnificent job of keeping the place pristine and clean. The daily buffet at Vakaru was top notch, and our server Shiraz was amazing. Often our beverages were waiting at the table before we sat down. Reethi Grill provided the perfect setting for my birthday dinner, and Jani did a tremendous job of setting the perfect table on the beach - not an easy feat when competing with a strong wind. One of the main reasons for visiting the Maldives is to dive, so we logged 10 dives with Sea Explorer. An excellent outfit who take care of every detail and safety is always first. Patrick and Teo did amazing jobs in anticipating our needs and making a life dream into a reality. Thank you! But none of this was possible without Hussain Gais at the front desk. In order to prolong our stay, I had to call the USA and change our flight date. He allowed me to use his cellphone on numerous occasions. And Amaa was also incredible, she organized many birthday surprises during our trip, even calling to wish happy birthday from everyone at reception. But this friendliness and attention to detail by everyone at reception is all thanks to Manoj, the front desk manager. He was always available to resolve any issue, often reaching out with answers via email.

The staff members were all very kind and accommodating. They created a wonderful surprise birthday dinner celebration for my husband.

Reethi Faru resort was overall great. It is only 3 years old so the bedrooms are modern and nicely decorated. I had a garden villa and was really spacious. You don t have direct access on the beach with your sun bed unless you go for the beach villa. There were 3 areas where i could be on the beach. The Nala bar beach is the best. The pool was too busy for my liking. The main restaurant is actually the best with Indian inspired buffet full of flavour. Staff very friendly. Scuba diving is great and is about 100USD per tank. You can count 500USD for the return sea plane trip (approx 1h) from Male airport. Overall great experience

Reethi Faru was a dream to stay at. We stayed in a water bungalow. We rented snorkeling equipment to swim off the balcony everyday. There were so many things to do on the island from scuba diving to deep sea fishing. The food was better than expected, and the staff was great.

Generally helpful and friendly staff, particularly at the restaurants and the daily room attendants. Fantastic pool area and a good length for swimming laps. Based on price/value, will definitey go back if given the opportunity.

The staff were wonderful, namely Amaa (should be promoted to management), Aslam, and most of the managers (especially Marco). There was one gentleman who should not be in a management position (Ranjith). He was unfriendly and even raised his voice at me at one point. I had paid a lot of money to be there and them booked a 4 hour fishing trip and simply wanted to find a way to get something to eat since we would be missing our breakfast buffet. His solution was bread. When you pay to be at a resort like this I think that management should find ways to make your stay as pleasant as possible (and most of them did). Some people save money for a very long time for a dream vacation like this. We do not all have tons of money to throw around but we should all be treated kindly and respectfully. Amaa and Marco really made my trip special. I was also ill while there and the doctor was sent to my room straight away (4 am I believe). He was wonderful as well. The food was great. The beach was beautiful. The bartender at the pool bar was also GREAT! He was very kind and friendly. The gym was lovely as well. I was also very happy with the cleaning and wait staff. The rooms were always clean and any time there was even the slightest issue it was handled immediately. I would definitely visit this resort again BUT I would avoid Ranjith at all costs.

Beautiful island with a great house reef for snorkeling and beaches for relaxation. Good food with plentiful buffets although the dishes sometimes could use a bit more seasoning. We dived with the local dive shop for a few days and can definitely recommend it to all divers, although it's a bit on the pricier side. Great for relaxing vacation, diving and drinking beer during the breaks.

Reethi Faru is a wonderful resort, it is well thought out in terms of the layout of the island, everyone gets their own spot on the beach, or in our case, a wonderful view from the water villa. The staff are noticeably happy people, always willing to help the guests out. The food was fantastic, the snorkeling was simply incredible, there are so many corals and fish to see. We can't say enough good things about the place.

Absolutely clean! Relaxing; It was not crowded at this time of year. Turquoise water everywhere. The tourists were equally responsible. The beaches were not polluted with plastics and garbage.

The entire stay was very tranquil. Excellent spot for a pleasant getaway.

Excellent resort destination. Please beware of weather/season when you book.

Poor Wi-Fi. Very poor service. Unhappy employees, messy check-in, messy check-out (even agreeing that they were over charging me, it was very difficult to convince them to remove the wrong charge, and they kept aggressively pushing me to pay more than I consumed).
