Dining, pools and the beach
Dining & bars
A few venues take reservations, the rest are walk-in
Expedia lists 5 restaurants and 5 bars/lounges plus 4 beach bars; official villa and downloads pages support multiple all-inclusive package types including Full Dine Around.
Pools & waterplay
Expedia lists an outdoor pool; Maldives-island appeal is more beach, lagoon and house reef than pool-led.
The beach itself
Beachfront private-island setting with excellent snorkeling repeatedly noted by Expedia, Tripadvisor and Reddit; guests also reference a worthwhile house reef.
- Calm water, swimmable straight off the sand
- Gradual entry, shallow a long way out
Counts come from the resort's own published information; the scores are ours, from the Palmprint file below.
Who fits where at Reethi Faru Resort
All 8 categories, from the resort's own accommodations pages. The figures are the comparison: how many the room takes, against the most this property puts in any one key. Where a category carries no figures, the resort does not publish an occupancy for it, which at villa tier usually means it is set when you book.
| Suite | Occupancy | Size | Bedrooms | Aspect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Garden Villa | Sleeps 3 | 581 ft²54 m² | 1 bedroom | Garden |
| Deluxe Beach Villa | Sleeps 3 | 797 ft²74 m² | 1 bedroom | Sea |
| Water Villa | Sleeps 3 | 1,023 ft²95 m² | 1 bedroom | Sea |
| Water Villa Sunset View | Sleeps 3 | 1,023 ft²95 m² | 1 bedroom | Sunset |
| Deluxe Beach Pool Villa | Sleeps 3 | 1,259 ft²117 m² | 1 bedroom | Seaprivate pool |
| Two Bedroom Garden Villa | Sleeps 4 | 1,572 ft²146 m² | 2 bedrooms | Garden |

| Two Bedroom Water Villa Suite with Spa Tub | Not published | 2,756 ft²256 m² | 2 bedrooms | Ocean |
Occupancy is the maximum published occupancy including rollaways, not comfortable occupancy. Categories and occupancy change with renovations, and connecting rooms are usually request-only, so confirm when you book.

Before you book
Ten things the research turned up about Reethi Faru Resort that the brochure does not say.
Reethi Faru Resort has all-inclusive plans, but they are optional and package-specific rather than the only default board basis.
The Full Dine Around package is materially different from basic all-inclusive and should be compared before booking.
The main strengths are beach, house reef, villa variety, romance and quiet.
Premium drinks and black-menu items may cost extra depending on package.
Hidden tips
Compare All Inclusive versus Full Dine Around before booking; guests repeatedly say the upgrade changes restaurant flexibility.
Choose Deluxe Beach Villa for practical beach access or Water Villa Sunset View for the classic overwater splurge.
Budget for seaplane or domestic-flight-plus-speedboat transfer logistics.
Things guests wish they had known
Basic all-inclusive and dine-around all-inclusive are not the same.
Maldives single-island stays require planning for transfers and downtime.
Beach villas may be better value than water villas for guests who spend most time snorkeling.

The rate, and where to check it
A checked price with a date on it, not a teaser. Here is the stay we price.
This resort prices room-only by default; the all-inclusive plan is a paid add-on, so add it when you book.
We can place the reservation through an accredited travel agency partner. There is no separate fee for using us, and the resort looks after your stay once it is booked. If you book this way the resort pays us a commission. You are not charged a separate fee. How we are paid.
Or book direct with the resort (opens in a new tab).
Independent reviews
We earn nothing on these links. How we are paid is set out here.
We check this rate on a rotating schedule. Leave an email and we'll flag a real drop, not a countdown timer.
Nov to Apr
Temperature barely moves here across the year, so rain is the whole decision: the wet months run May to Nov.
