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

If there is a focal point for everyone at the resort, then the resort bar must be it. Much larger than a conventional bar with a long counter and bar stools, it is part of a communal hall with comfortable sofa/lounge seats and card tables

This is where residents converge for an afternoon cuppa, ice-cream treat, beer, snack or leisurely chat. Pre-dinner cocktails are served al fresco outside the bar so that residents can enjoy the spectacular sunset.

After dinner, our staff will engage guests in rousing competitions like bingo, animation, card games and such, with prizes including free drinks and barbecue seafood dinner at the beach, complemented by loads of good-natured teasing and heartfelt camaraderie.
