We spend 10 days in Maldives. We had 6 nights at Rihiveli then 4 nights at a different island. It was the perfect mix. We took advantage of all the water sports that were included. The staff were all great. We enjoyed the food and never got tired of the fresh fish. The beach bungalows were clean very comfortable. Most... More

The Maldives are far away from anywhere and I guess this was quite the destination way back when rich people would fly Concorde from London to get away from it all. Today it is just a very long trip to get locked up on an island the size of an average 2 bedroom apartment. My friends and I visited for... More

Rihiveli grows in you, day by day, charming you with its beauty, simplicity and fabulous atmosphere. You are still enjoying every minute of it, while you already think of your next stay and your goal to have your name hand painted on your chosen fish. Not only Rihiveli embraces you, but allows you to meet valuable people whom you are... More

My friends and I could not have been happier with our decision to stay at Rihiveli. The island is beautiful, the rooms were really nice, the staff was friendly, and the food was great. And the added bonus (as if all of that wasn't enough), activities were included in the price. While at the resort we were able to go... More

We stayed at Rihiveli Beach Resort for 4 nights in November following a trip through Kerala in India - we definitely wished we could have stayed for longer! Rihiveli is located in South Male Atoll - having worked in Addu Atoll in the south, I originally wanted to return there, however we were on a relatively tight budget so couldn't... More

This was our third trip to the Maldives. Having stayed in relatively large and typical resort style islands earlier, this time we were looking for a totally different Maldivian experience....and we got that exactly at Rihiveli. Selecting a resort in Maldives is a task in itself, a very pleasant but difficult one, with over 100 resort islands to choose from.... More

Rihiveli is for you if you like simplicity, beautiful beach and sea, good watersports, and no a/c. On the latter point, there is generally a wind blowing which makes things perfectly comfortable. Food is excellent for an all-inclusive, wine and beer reasonably priced. Cocktails are OK, but mixed drinks such as G&T oddly cost more than cocktails... Beautiful, uncrowded island,... More

We stayed at Rihiveli resort for 5 nights and Adaraan Vadoo for 2 nights. Rihiveli which is a 3 start out performed Vadoo by a million points. First of all the weather was great ! even though the weather forecast was thunderstorms throughout we only had sun and no clouds what so ever. Rihiveli is one of the most beautiful... More

This is mostly a french speaking resort so if you don't know a word of it, you probably want to find another place. Otherwise the place is great. On the cheap side compared to the rest of the maldives, but also doesn't offer much of the luxuries that other resorts probably do. What is truly luxurious here is the fact... More
