A statement hotel in the heart of the unparalleled Maldives, Rihiveli Maldives Resort is a shrine to luxury and natural beauty. Located on Mahaanaelhihuraa, the property captures the essence of island life with its pristine lagoon views and vibrant flora. Upon arrival, the exhilarating ocean breeze complements the stunning architecture: charming bungalows dot the landscape, each facing the ocean and crafted in perfect harmony with their surroundings. The lobby, adorned with local art and intricate Islamic geometric patterns, envelops guests in a warm embrace, creating the perfect first 'wow' moment. You can feel the ambiance shift as you take in the dramatic vistas from the over-water lagoon restaurant, whose cuisine is inspired by the freshest local produce. With state-of-the-art facilities - including a luxurious spa, private beach, and a fully equipped PADI scuba diving center - guests are encouraged to indulge in both relaxation and adventure amidst this idyllic setting.

Explore the Local Area

Rihiveli Maldives Resort is not just a stay; it is a gateway to explore the wonders of the Maldives. Moments away, the shimmering turquoise waters invite those restless to embark on water-sports adventures, including sailing, water-skiing, and thrilling night snorkeling trips. Nearby, the vibrant coral reefs are just waiting to be explored, offering glimpses of the diverse marine life in these bountiful waters. The resort, a mere 5 km from Villa International Maamigili, provides streamlined seaplane transfers for a dramatic aerial view of this tropical paradise. Do note: if you arrange your own transport, it's advisable to plan ahead, as local navigation can be a bit tricky. The rich culture of the Maldives beckons for exploration nearby; genuine interactions with local communities and the breathtaking beauty of untouched nature await.

Room Information

Rihiveli Maldives Resort features 48 elegantly designed sea-facing bungalows, each one distinctly enchanting. Most rooms measure 22 square meters, offering comfortable accommodations outfitted with essential amenities including free WiFi, plush bathrobes, air conditioning, and a flat-screen TV. The design aesthetic is contemporary, marrying modern comfort with tropical charm - think soft palettes, natural materials, and serene ocean views from private terraces that enhance the experience of papaya sunsets and gentle sea breezes.

Room Upgrades

Guests seeking more spacious accommodations can opt for the family rooms, which comfortably host additional travelers with added amenities such as a dining area and a seating arrangement. Upgraded rooms remain adherent to the core ethos of the resort: relaxation within sophisticated opulence. Each room offers a private entrance, electric kettles, and mini-bar facilities to ensure an elevated experience, while some may feature terraces equipped with sun loungers and hammocks - perfect for lazy days indulging in the Maldivian sun.

“This resort stands apart with its dedication to preserving the Maldivian style and natural environment. The focus on eco-friendly practices and personalized service creates a uniquely intimate experience. I especially appreciate the comprehensive range of water sports, including offerings such as sailing and night snorkeling.”
