Introduction to Reethi Beach Resort

Nestled amidst lush vegetation and shaded by graceful palm trees, Reethi Beach Resort was designed with local architecture to blend in with the natural beauty of the island giving the resort a very eco-friendly feel.

 

Fringed by a white sandy beach and crystal clear waters, the island - just 600m long and 300m wide - is surrounded by uninhabited islands. Guests have a unique opportunity to discover these islands as they are exclusively held by Reethi Beach Resort. Great dive sites are easily accessible by the dive boats and there is a house reef along one half of the island. Baa Atoll has some superb diving, including the famous Hanifaru Lagoon where large numbers of manta rays and whalesharks can be seen.
