Rihiveli Beach Resort South Male Atoll Maldives
South Male Atoll, Maldives
Maldives

Star Rating: 4

Rihiveli is a gorgious resort with a distinctive French look and a cultured ambience. Alone on the southern tip of South Male' Atoll, the secret of the island's charms, it seems, is jealously kept by the discerning couples who have discovered it, and return year after year after year.

Simplicity and elegance are the key words here, obvious from the moment you first walk along the jetty: sandy, irregular but solid, with grasses sprouting along the edge like a French country lane. The resort's central focus is the beautifully designed bar/lounge and games room building. With echoes of the south Pacific, the high thatched roofs slope sharply and reach low to the ground around the open sides. Inside it is cool, shady and comfortable.

In fact there is not one but two small, uninhabited islands within Rihiveli's vast lagoon. Shallow and sandy, it is not a perfect lagoon, but a platform is moored in the deeper water for water skiing, a "swimming pool" has been dredged nearby and the snorkeling trips make up for the lack of a reef.

Accommodation

48 bungalows tucked away in the shade of palm trees, each with its own private garden and furnished with the island's own wood. How lovely to - lounge around or relax in a hammack! an this store on Rihiveli just for you.
