RAH GILI MALDIVES

Blending Bohemian-inspired design with hallmark elements of modern luxury – from gourmet dining to dedicated Edhuru butler service – RAH GILI MALDIVES presents one of the archipelago’s most refined and seamless barefoot luxury escapes. The resort and the 10.7-hectare island it occupies sit beside a secluded lagoon that has become an exclusive dolphin lagoon, with spinner dolphins often congregating here to meet, mingle and play in the shallow waters – an experience found nowhere else in the Maldives.

74 generously sized villas comprise RAH GILI MALDIVES’ accommodation, each flaunting meticulous architecture with laidback Bohemian touches. Each of these villas, which span both the beach and lagoon, features an en-suite bathroom, walk-in wardrobe, outdoor bathtub and shower and a private deck with a pool. Overwater options even come with their own waterslides that lead directly into the crystalline lagoon. Gastronomy at the resort is a notable highlight, with six dining outlets serving everything from Japanese teppanyaki and hearty Italian cuisine to fresh Maldivian seafood dishes and spice-rich Indian and pan-Asian flavours. The Amrit Beach Club offers a 21 sqm pool fringed by sun loungers, proffering a selection of delicious cocktails.

RAH GILI MALDIVES places a strong emphasis on experience, whether it’s encountering the resident spinner dolphins, refining your culinary skills during a chef-led cooking class, unwinding at the tranquil Six & Six Rituals wellness facility, or discovering the breathtaking Indian Ocean waters through snorkelling and PADI-certified diving. The Nest, meanwhile, caters to the resort’s younger guests, with multilingual child minders and a range of exciting kids’ activities that include arts and crafts, physical activities, cooking classes and eco-marine conservation learning. RAH GILI MALDIVES also has a strong focus on sustainability, with initiatives including solar energy, coral planting, composting, ocean-to-table dining, local sourcing, recycling and an on-site water bottling plant. The resort is EarthCheck Bronze Certified and combines these measures with a commitment to supporting Maldivian culture and neighbouring communities.
