First thing to mention is that this was my first time to Maldives so I cannot really compare with the other Maldive islands. However I have been to number of tropical islands including Anguilla, Koh Phi Phi, Koh Tao, Boracay, Perhentian, Nusa Lembongan...

Thank you for your kind comment. You are right, Rihiveli is a Paradise. Simplicity, conviviality and respect of nature and of our incredible lagoon. BBQ on Sunrise Island is highly appreciated by our guests. Food is simple but of quality. You can enjoy many activities or just relax on the beach with the feeling to be alone in this paradise....
