We visited Reethi Beach Resort in December 2023 for our honeymoon, staying for a total of 9 nights in the water villas. The weather during our stay was a mix of clear, sunny days and cloudy, breezy ones, with rain typically occurring overnight and clearing up during the day.
The rooms are traditionally styled, very spacious, and feature large bathrooms and decks perfect for sun lounging with direct access to the sea. The access to the water villas is spectacular, offering a complete panoramic view of the horizon across the water and nearby islands.
The beds are big and comfortable, and you have the option of using either air conditioning or a ceiling fan to stay cool. We appreciated the ceiling fan as we’re not very keen on AC, though it is available for those who prefer it. The rooms are serviced daily and kept clean using environmentally friendly procedures.
We opted for the standard all-inclusive package, which includes breakfast, lunch, an afternoon snack, and dinner at the Main Restaurant, along with a good selection of drinks and alcoholic beverages from any of the bars on the island. We highly recommend this option as it offers an abundant choice of food and drinks. The Main Restaurant changes its menu daily, especially at dinner, featuring themed cuisines with a wide variety of choices and fresh produce, often from their own garden on the island. The team at the Main Restaurant ensured we always had a great experience and provided everything we could ask for. Special thanks to Majid, Amjad, and Rubel, among others, for their excellent service. We also had good chats with Ixoo and Madushan in the bars, where all the staff were friendly and forthcoming.
The all-inclusive package also included two free trips each week: a sunset cruise and a visit to two nearby local islands to experience the local lifestyle. Additionally, a trial scuba diving introduction was included.
As we were on our honeymoon, we were welcomed with a nice display in our room featuring fresh fruit. We also enjoyed a complimentary romantic dinner at Saima Garden, the high-end cuisine restaurant on the island, which was candlelit, on the beach, and featured a beautiful flower arrangement on the table.
We also tried the Moodhu Bar and Restaurant on our arrival day, receiving a free late lunch due to our mid-afternoon arrival. The location of the Moodhu Bar is stunning, with a wooden deck walkway into the sea. The food at both Saima Garden and Moodhu Bar was of amazing quality.
