It simply isn't enough for One&Only Resorts to be in the world's very best destinations. We must occupy the very best location of the world's best destinations. One&Only Maldives at Reethi Rah is a perfect example. To create the perfect experience, an extensive land reclamation project was undertaken to expand the island's peninsula. The results, and 12 unspoiled beaches, speak for themselves. There is a place in a far blue ocean of wonderful beauty. A jewel among a string of coral atolls, lagoons and white sands. The experience is privacy, warmth and moments of magic – a promise of utter contentment fulfilled.
