One and Only Maldives at Reethi Rah Island

7 nights from £4159

 

The resort, which made Conde Nast Traveller's Gold List of top hotels in 2007, is the perfect place to try diving among the colourful corals and exotic sealife.

 

One and Only Maldives' fabulously stylish 130 villas are spread over more than four miles of the most brilliant white coastline. The spacious thatched villas offer a welcoming blend of cutting-edge design and natural local materials.

For something extra special, stay in one of the water villas, which sit over the crystal waters of the lagoon. Soak up the sun on the private terrace or even a suspended net over the water – what could be more blissful.

Every villa has its own host who will make sure you have everything you need for the most relaxing holiday.

If you want more than relaxation, the resort offers scuba dive packages allowing you to explore the glorious sealife of the Indian Ocean. There are also a range of complimentary watersports such as kayaking, windsurfing and snorkelling.

Other activities include sailing, fishing trips, tennis and bicycling around the island. Younger guests will be kept busy with a special pool and area for children.

For those who prefer less energetic pursuits, the One and Only Spa offers a haven of tranquillity where crystal steam rooms, stone saunas and ice fountains will help you find your inner calm.

Mouth-watering food is served at the three restaurants with many of the ingredients coming from the resort's own gardens.
