White-sand beaches, cobalt blue lagoons, exquisite modern villas with rustic touches and amazing food. Really, what’s not to love about the Maldives? Did I also mention the amazing snorkelling excursions, among other things?
This is where you get to share your sweet nothings and do sweet nothing, too.
Honestly, the things you can do here are endless: hiking, windsurfing, treasure hunting, a city tour of Male, paddleboarding, a visit to the national museum and the ever-so-reliable spa escape.

Reethi offers the best Asian, modern European and Italian cuisines. At night, this place is transformed into a dramatic food theatre. The concept will also blow your mind.
The floor is divided into three distinct experiences: Earth (French cuisine), Fire (Asian flavours) and Aqua (a seafood lovers paradise, including an Italian flair).
