Rihiveli Beach Resort, Maldives

On the South Male Atoll, an hour away by speed boat from Male International Airport, the resort island of Rihiveli comprises a collection of thatched bungalows surrounded by a crystal-clear lagoon

There’s a different cuisine every day, inspired by menus that span French, Italian and Maldivian, or are better described as being international or Asian. There’s also a daily barbecue lunch at Sunrise Island; it’s hugely popular and places are limited to only 20 people, so signing up at breakfast time is a must! Dinner is either buffet or set menu, and is served at the resort restaurant or occasionally, at the beach.

For special occasions, we can prepare an exclusive a la carte seafood dinner at the beach, with choice of prawns, lobsters or meat, accompanied by side dishes, salads and dessert.

All meals are prepared using fresh ingredients including meat, fish, vegetables, seasonal tropical fruits and desserts. Wine (charged separately) is served by glass or bottle; do ask for our extensive wine list.

Daily at 5.30pm (except during Ramadan, the Muslim fasting month), guests are invited to join our staff at the staff canteen for afternoon tea and biscuits.
