Reethi Faru: Where Natural Abundance Sets the Tone
Set on the quiet island of Filaidhoo in Raa Atoll, Reethi Faru is a resort shaped by the landscape rather than layered over it. At just 600m by 350m, it is small enough to feel personal but large enough to offer genuine variety – a place where a flourishing house reef encircles the island in a ring of colour, and where the shift from beach to lagoon happens in a few barefoot steps. This is not a manufactured version of the Maldives; it is an island defined by its own natural richness, with conservation woven into daily life rather than presented as a performance.
The location is a serious draw for snorkellers and divers. Raa Atoll is known for its clear water and thriving marine life, and Reethi Faru’s house reef is one of its standout features: coral gardens alive with movement, rays gliding through the blue, and shoals of fish that seem to rearrange themselves with every turn. Access is effortless – you can step from the beach straight into a living reef system that rewards both beginners and more confident swimmers, while the PADI 5* and SSI-certified dive centre offers routes into some of the atoll’s strongest sites.
Accommodation spans 145 villas, from garden villas tucked within tropical foliage to beach villas opening directly onto the sand and overwater villas poised above the lagoon. Freestanding villas and two-bedroom suites follow Maldivian-inspired design principles, keeping everything low-rise and rooted in place. Families value the flexibility of the two-bedroom options; couples tend to favour the quiet reaches of the beach or the more secluded overwater categories. Whatever the choice, the focus is on privacy, comfort and a natural flow between indoor and outdoor space.
For an island of this size, the culinary range is notably broad. There are six restaurants: Vakaru, the sea-front main restaurant with generous buffets and live cooking; Dhiyavaru, a 24-hour bar and restaurant above the lagoon; Reethi Grill, with its tandoori oven, wood-fired pizza and live grill on the beach; Huvandhu Garden, an intimate cabana setting for multi-course dinners; Raalhu Café by the pool for light bites and relaxed plates; and Veggie & Vegan, a compact, plant-forward dinner venue. Alongside these sit six bars, from the sociable Haruge Bar and peaceful Veyo Bar by the infinity pool to the east-facing Nala Bar, the gin-led Thari Bar and the Sunset Bar’s front-row views of the evening light.
Reethi Faru is one of the Maldives’ more versatile islands when it comes to activities. The water sports centre is exceptionally well equipped, offering everything from canoeing, paddleboarding and sailing to parasailing, fly-boarding and fun-tube rides. On land, the sports centre provides an extensive list of options, including two outdoor tennis courts, indoor badminton courts, squash, basketball, table tennis and a full gym, complemented by guided yoga. The Coconut Spa, set quietly among the greenery, offers personalised treatments and massages in a gentler register.
What lends the island deeper character is the strength of its sustainability work. Coral propagation projects, a hands-on marine centre and guest-focused initiatives support the reef systems surrounding the island. Solar energy, hydroponic gardens, mushroom cultivation, reverse-osmosis water production and biogas-supported waste management contribute to a level of self-reliance that feels genuine rather than symbolic.
For travellers seeking a Maldives experience that balances beauty with substance – where the reef is a daily highlight, the activities wide-ranging, the dining varied and the commitment to sustainability sincere – Reethi Faru stands out. It is an island with character, integrity and a strong sense of place: a resort shaped by its environment, not the other way around.

Reethi Faru Resort Details
Facilities & Services at Reethi Faru
Dining
Reethi Faru offers a remarkably varied dining scene for an island of this size.
Vakaru, the main sea-front restaurant, begins the day with generous breakfasts and live cooking stations, while lunch and dinner unfold through a two-week rotation of international themes. Dhiyavaru – open 24 hours and set above the lagoon – serves everything from light salads and pizzas to signature dishes, all with uninterrupted ocean views.
Reethi Grill brings flame, tandoor and wood-fired cooking to the beach, and Huvandhu Garden provides an intimate cabana setting for romantic, multi-course dinners. Raalhu Café keeps things relaxed beside the pool with quick bites and easy lunch plates, while Veggie & Vegan introduces thoughtful, plant-forward dining each evening.
Bars
The island’s bar scene is wonderfully spread out, offering a change of mood wherever you wander. Haruge Bar is the sociable heart of the resort with a spacious deck and evening entertainment; Sunset Bar offers front-row views of the western horizon; and Veyo Bar beside the infinity pool serves everything from cooling juices to classic cocktails.
Thari Bar brings a curated gin menu to its relaxed setting, while Nala Bar sits on one of the island’s prettiest stretches of beach on the east side. Dhiyavaru’s own bar rounds out the collection with drinks served above the lagoon at any hour.
Wellness & Spa
Tucked within the island’s greenery, the Coconut Spa is a peaceful sanctuary offering personalised treatments and massages delivered by skilled therapists. Expect a blend of Asian and contemporary wellness techniques, private treatment rooms and a tranquil atmosphere that feels far removed from the island’s livelier corners.
Swimming & The Reef
Reethi Faru’s house reef is one of its defining features – a vibrant ring of coral gardens encircling the island and accessible directly from the beach. Snorkellers can expect excellent visibility and plenty of marine life, while the calm lagoon offers an easygoing alternative for gentle swims. The infinity pool, merging seamlessly with the ocean, creates a striking spot for relaxed laps and long afternoons in the sun.
Watersports & Diving
Home to one of the Maldives’ best-equipped water sports centres, the island caters to everyone from first-timers to thrill-seekers. Canoeing, stand-up paddleboarding, windsurfing, sailing, parasailing, fly-boarding and fun-tube rides all feature, supported by experienced, accredited instructors.
Below the surface, the PADI 5* and SSI-certified dive centre opens the door to Raa Atoll’s excellent dive sites. Beginners can learn in calm, clear conditions, while certified divers can explore channels, reef walls and the region’s rich marine life.
Sports & Recreation
For those who prefer to stay active on land, the Sports Centre offers an impressive line-up: two outdoor tennis courts, indoor badminton courts, squash, basketball, table tennis and a fully equipped gym. A professional yoga instructor leads guided sessions, and the island’s shaded paths make easy work of leisurely walks or morning stretches.
Marine Centre & Sustainability
Sustainability is woven deeply into Reethi Faru’s ethos. The marine centre leads coral propagation and reef restoration work, alongside educational activities and citizen-science initiatives for interested guests. On the island, solar energy, hydroponic gardens, mushroom cultivation, biogas-supported waste management and in-house water production contribute to an unusually high level of self-sufficiency. It is rare to find an island where environmental care is so visible in daily operations.

The resort features 145 villas across garden, beach and overwater settings, all designed with traditional Maldivian influences and natural materials. Options range from compact garden villas to expansive beach pool villas and two-bedroom suites suited to families. All villas emphasise privacy, comfort and a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living.
