Minor Hotels brings the NH Collection brand to the Maldives with the reopening of NH Collection Maldives Reethi Resort on 18 December 2025, blending Maldivian tradition with contemporary comfort
Minor Hotels has announced the reopening of NH Collection Maldives Reethi Resort, welcoming guests from 18 December 2025. Formerly known as Reethi Beach Resort, the property has undergone a six-month transformation to emerge as a refreshed all-villa destination, where timeless Maldivian charm meets the signature style and comfort of the NH Collection brand.

Set within the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Baa Atoll, the resort offers a privileged location just a 35-minute seaplane flight from Velana International Airport. Hanifaru Bay—renowned worldwide for its seasonal gatherings of manta rays, whale sharks, and turtles—is less than 20 minutes away, creating unrivalled opportunities for marine discovery.
The resort features 105 villas, including beach, overwater, and new private pool villas. Guests can choose from tranquil Beach Villas with direct access to soft sands, Overwater Villas perched above turquoise lagoons, or the newly introduced Pool Villas offering a private plunge pool just steps from the ocean. Each villa is designed to balance traditional craftsmanship with modern sophistication, creating spaces that are as restorative as they are stylish.
Seven distinct dining venues bring the island’s culinary spirit to life. Highlights include Alifaan, a beachfront grill with wood-fired flair; Kaiyo, an overwater restaurant inspired by Asian flavors and panoramic horizons; and Jumla, an all-day dining experience that showcases global favorites with fresh island accents. For casual moments, guests can enjoy the beachfront infinity pool at Madumaithri, tropical bites at Aqua Bar, or tapas and cocktails at Atardecer, the sunset beach bar with live entertainment. For something truly special, Handhuvaru—the resort’s hidden rum bar—and exclusive wine cellar experiences invite refined evenings, while Adrift offers bespoke private dining under the Maldivian sky.
Beyond gastronomy, NH Collection Reethi embraces the Maldives’ natural playground with a house reef teeming with marine life, water sports ranging from kayaking to flyboarding, and bespoke diving excursions to Hanifaru Bay. On land, the reimagined REVIVE spa delivers nature-inspired wellness journeys, while active travelers can enjoy tennis, volleyball, pickleball, and a fully equipped fitness center. Families are welcomed with a dedicated Kids’ Club and activity programs, making the resort a destination for every generation.
With this reopening, Minor Hotels strengthens its presence in the Maldives, bringing the NH Collection brand’s signature promise of curated stays and elevated experiences to one of the world’s most prized island destinations.
