Our second visit to Reethi Faru and it’s just as stunning as we remember. Last time River was only two and we still remembered it fondly as one of the most beautiful islands we’d ever seen. The rustic and comfortable villas are great for families and couples and we enjoyed having a private jacuzzi just steps from the crystal clear ocean. Besides snorkelling and kayaking in the pristine ocean and exploring the abundant house reef, we enjoyed lazy days poolside and at the beach, the variety of tropical bars and delicious restaurants and walking around the idyllic scene. The 24 hour overwater restaurant is an amazing spot to enjoy mouthwatering fare and incredible views, and Reethi Grill serves insanely fresh seafood and spicy Indian tandoori. Magical moments included spotting a turtle just as we finished lunch, a huge pod of dolphins swimming by during a leisurely morning at the beach, a sky full of constellations as we dined overwater under the moonlight, and vibrant sunsets that magically lit up the entire sky. An ideal choice for families and couples looking for a welcoming and picturesque island for an unforgettable Maldives getaway.
