NH Collection Maldives Reethi Resort Awaits December’s First Winner of the World’s Biggest Giveaway!

Welcome to NH Collection Maldives Reethi Resort, December’s first sponsor of our “World’s Biggest Giveaway” campaign. Located in the heart of Baa Atoll within a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, this newly opened private island retreat invites guests to reconnect with nature in one of the Maldives’ most ecologically rich settings. Surrounded by jewel-toned waters and lush tropical greenery, the resort is accessible via a 35-minute seaplane journey from Malé, or a domestic flight to Dharavandhoo Airport followed by a short speedboat transfer.

NH Collection Maldives Reethi Resort features 105 beach and overwater villas, each designed to reflect the island’s natural beauty. Beach Villas open directly onto soft white sands and palm-lined shores, offering generous indoor-outdoor living spaces, open-air bathing, and the option of private pools. For families, two-bedroom beach villas with butler service provide both space and privacy. Overwater Villas sit above the lagoon, with open-plan interiors, private sundecks, and direct access to the water below, delivering a classic Maldivian overwater experience.

The island’s greatest treasure lies beneath the surface. Guests enjoy privileged access to Hanifaru Bay, located just 20 minutes from the resort and globally renowned for its seasonal gatherings of manta rays and whale sharks. During peak periods, up to 200 manta rays can be seen feeding in mesmerising formations, while gentle whale sharks often glide through the same waters. Access to Hanifaru Bay is carefully managed, with strict limits on boats and snorkellers to ensure both guest safety and marine protection.

Closer to shore, the resort’s vibrant house reef offers exceptional snorkelling just a short swim from the beach. Baa Atoll’s warm waters support around 250 coral species and more than 1,200 marine species, from schools of butterfly and angelfish to nudibranchs, octopus, and moray eels. In the calm lagoon, guests may encounter green and hawksbill turtles, as well as black- and white-tip reef sharks cruising gracefully through shallow waters. Dolphin watching excursions further out at sea add to the island’s marine encounters, with spinner and bottlenose dolphins often spotted alongside the boat.

Dining at NH Collection Maldives Reethi Resort is a journey across flavours and atmospheres, with seven restaurants and bars spread across the island. From international cuisine at Jumla, beachfront grills at Alifaan, and overwater Asian dining at Kaiyo, to sunset cocktails at Atardecer, rum tastings at Handhuvaru, and private dining experiences at Adrift, each venue is designed to complement the island’s relaxed rhythm.

Beyond the water, guests can enjoy a wide range of leisure facilities, including racquet courts, water sports, an activity centre, and a dedicated kids’ club. For couples, the island also offers an idyllic setting for weddings, with a professional team curating personalised ceremonies against a backdrop of white sands, palm trees, and open ocean.

NH Collection Maldives Reethi Resort is a place where natural wonder, sustainable luxury, and meaningful experiences come together. As December’s first lucky winner of the World’s Biggest Giveaway, this extraordinary island escape in the Maldives’ most celebrated biosphere could soon be yours.
