Getting There

    The most common and scenic way to reach Reethi Beach Resort is via seaplane from Velana International Airport (MLE) in Malé. Upon arrival at MLE, a resort representative will greet you after clearing immigration and customs. They will escort you to the seaplane terminal, a short transfer from the airport. Trans Maldivian Airways operates the 35-45 minute flight to a platform near the resort. From there, a traditional Dhoni boat will take you to the island. Seaplane transfers are typically available during daylight hours (6:30 am to 3:15 pm). Expect to wait 2-4 hours at the seaplane terminal. The roundtrip seaplane transfer costs between $290 and $700 per person.

  • Domestic Flight and Speedboat

    An alternative to the seaplane is a domestic flight to Dharavandhoo Airport (DRV) followed by a speedboat transfer. After arriving at Velana International Airport (MLE), take a domestic flight to Dharavandhoo, which takes approximately 20 minutes. Upon arrival, a resort representative will meet you and escort you on a 15-20 minute speedboat ride to Reethi Beach Resort. This option is available for guests arriving after 3:15 PM, when seaplanes do not operate. Roundtrip domestic flight and speedboat transfers cost approximately $250-$400 per person.

Reethi Beach Resort, located on Fonimagoodhoo Island in the Baa Atoll, is a true Maldivian island experience. Since 1998, this 4-star resort has been a sanctuary of tranquility, offering guests a rustic Robinson Crusoe feeling combined with a relaxed atmosphere. The island, approximately 600 meters long and 200 meters wide, is surrounded by soft, white coral sand beaches and a vibrant house reef teeming with marine life. Fonimagoodhoo is part of the Baa Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve known for its rich biodiversity. The resort is a short distance from Hanifaru Bay, a world-famous site where manta rays congregate in large numbers from May to November. Guests can easily access the atoll's unspoiled beauty, home to manta rays, whale sharks, turtles, and an abundance of vibrant marine life. The resort features 120 bungalows crafted from natural materials, offering comfortable accommodations. Guests can choose from standalone and semi-detached villas, including water bungalows perched on stilts above the reef. Each villa has been thoughtfully designed to offer a unique service in a distinctive environment. Reethi Beach Resort boasts a 5-star PADI Dive Center, a spa and wellness retreat, a water sports center, and a sports complex. Reethi Beach Resort is committed to low eco-impact. The resort offers a free "technical tour" of the island, showcasing its desalination plant, sewage plant, generators, and laundry facilities, explaining how eco-friendly it is. In late 2025, Reethi Beach Resort will be rebranded as NH Collection Maldives Reethi Resort, following extensive renovations to elevate guest experiences. The renovation will include upgrades to the villas, dining outlets, and leisure facilities while preserving the lush island's natural beauty.
