The property was lovely. Enjoyed the fact that it was detached. The only minor thing was the noise of the mini-bar fridge and an air conditioning unit for next door attached to our bungalow.

Authentic experience...

I recently stayed at Rihiveli the dream and there were some really great things about it that I’m sure would be appealing for some. One of the things that I really appreciated were the inclusive activities such as snorkeling, kayaking, sailing, kite surfing and wind surfing. This is a good place to go if your desire is to be out enjoying nature without spending a lot of extra money. This isn’t a good place to go it you are looking for the five star, (4 star, 3 star or 2 star) luxury resort experience and the amenities that come with it, like air conditioning or bugs in your room. Some of the issues with this place could quite easily be fixed. One that really stood out was the experience of the bar. When drinks are ordered they are not made in front of you. They could also become a little more creative with the between meal snack options instead of just offering two kinds of Pringle’s or a small bag of M&M’s. It would also serve them well and their customers to install AC in some or all of their rooms and with it the ability to keep the bugs and critters out instead of being fully open to the outside with only some wide lattice separating you from the outside elements. This would at least give the choice to the more rustic customers to turn the AC off and open doors and windows if they prefer that experience. This resort has been around for 36 years and it really shows, it doesn’t appear that anything has been updated along the way.

Rihiveli is the most enchanting place on earth. Everything is just perfect, from the location to service. The resort is set on a tiny island in the middle of a turquoise lagoon, stretching to two deserted islands reachable on foot or with kayaks. Lots of activities are included in the full board package. Food is top notch. I can’tecommend jt enough

Ottimo rapporto qualita’/prezzo. Isola magnifica con una laguna incredibile da vero paradiso tropicale. Ottima la location del ristorante, direttamente sull’acqua. Rihiveli non e’l’ideale per gli amanti dello snorkeling perche’non dispone di una barriera facilmente raggiungibile, ma giornalmente sono comunque organizzate uscite in barca ( incluse nella tariffa del soggiorno ) con il diving locale. Sono inoltre a disposizione paddle, windsurf e canoe, da utilizzare liberamente per un’ora al giorno. Nel complesso il resort e’assolutamente molto valido!

Terza volta a Rihiveli e ancora una volta una esperienza fantastica! La gestione attuale, "Rihiveli The Dream", è altamente professionale, è riuscita valorizzare questo paradiso rispettando le bellezze naturali e creando un'atmosfera accogliente e rilassante . La laguna in cui si trova l'isola è tra le più belle delle Maldive, per la ricchezza dei fondali, per gli innumerevoli e bellissimi pesci da ammirare nelle acque attorno al ristorante o al diving center (tartarughe marine, razze, squalotti, murene, aragoste, pesci balestra, trombetta, e tanti altri), per la colonia di delfini che stazionano a meno di cento metri dalla riva, per le due isolette disabitate raggiungibili a piedi. Il numero di ospiti permette di godersi l'isola senza sensazione di affollamento, i bungalow sono semplici ma molto comodi e spaziosi, non hanno aria condizionata ma pale al soffitto che rinfrescano a sufficienza. Il ristorante, che si affaccia sul lato Est per godersi il sorgere del sole mentre si fa colazione, non ha pareti per sentirsi ancora più parte della natura circostante, ha una zona aperta al centro, che si affaccia su un quadrato di mare da dove passano tartarughe, murene, aragoste, pesci etc. Il bar si affaccia sul lato Ovest dell'isola, anche questo molto naturale e senza pareti, per godersi i fantastici tramonti. Il tutto è fruibile senza sorprese, è un "tutto incluso" reale, con attività, attrezzature, e acqua da bere (non banale) a disposizione. Personale e servizio eccellenti!

Merveilleux séjour dans un lieu paradisiaque avec une équipe de français passionnés et des maldiviens adorables. Les bungalows sont parfaits, la nourriture plus qu'excellente. Nous avons apprécié la mise à disposition des kayaks, paddles, les sorties en snorkelling. C'est un endroit magique qu'il faut choisir. Tout est fait pour y passer un séjour inoubliable.
