The exclusive castaway retreat which includes unlimited gourmet dining, drinking and spa treatments “raises pampering to a new level”, say the judges for Conde Nast Traveler’s annual ‘Hot List 2007’.

It was recommended as both the “ultimate romantic getaway” for affluent couples and as a peerless Maldivian retreat for groups of up to 15.

“The high price tag buys you all the creature comforts, including unlimited spa treatments, yoga on demand, fishing, and diving (Rania has its own dive instructor), as well as meals prepared by chefs who consult with you prior to arrival and serve up freshly-caught seafood,” says the prestigious travel magazine.

“Nights should be reserved for lychee martinis, which you can drink on a stool dug into the surf or for sailing in a dhoni under the stars. The most memorable care comes from the three butlers, who expertly anticipate every guest’s needs.”

Offered for a minimum of three nights, the legendary ‘Rania Experience’ is a private island in Faafu Atoll, a picture postcard paradise of white sands and turquoise blue waters surrounded by a myriad of desert island atolls, 35-minutes by seaplane from Malé International Airport.

The ‘Rania Experience’ includes private use of ‘The Rania’, a luxury 86ft yacht with indoor and outdoor lounges and dining areas, Jacuzzi, air-conditioning and a full entertainment system including home-theatre.

Designed with barefoot luxury in mind, the island encompasses the lavish air-conditioned three bedroom Rania Suite overlooking a plunge pool and a stones throw away are three individual beach villas with thatched roofs and traditional Maldivian open-air style bathrooms.

Guests enjoy unlimited pampering at The Rania Spa, offering Ayurvedic and other specialised  treatments. Massages and treatments can be taken anywhere, from the beach at sunset to the privacy of their villa or aboard the yacht at the time preferred by the guests.

Gourmet dining is cooked and served anytime and anywhere, either on the island or aboard ‘The Rania’.

Blessed with some of the world’s most spectacular sunsets, a variety of cultural shows can also be arranged on request and at an additional charge, from a lively traditional Bodu Beru (local  drums) dance to a laid-back local Maldivian band.

Additional amenities on the island include a small personal gym, state of the art karaoke system, billiards, beach volleyball and badminton, satellite TV, a selection of films and a host of board games.

The ‘Rania Experience’ is totally unique in Asia in that it is limited to just one exclusive booking at any one time, making you “king of your own island” instead of just another guest at a resort.

The resort has also earned an award for ‘Best Experiential Photography’ among members of the marketing and distribution network, Small Luxury Hotels of the World.

Glorious tropical surroundings at One&Only Maldives at Reethi Rah provide a perfect island hideaway for celebrating a new life together. Against the stunning backdrop of the Indian Ocean, with a gentle breeze rustling the palm trees, guests can experience a chic wedding ceremony or enjoy a truly special honeymoon.

Wedding ceremonies take place on one of the resort’s 12 pristine white sandy beaches, down a petal-strewn aisle through a fresh flower arch; at the Wedding Pavilion under a traditional thatched roof adorned with fresh flowers and orchids; or at Reethi Restaurant, with its dramatic high ceilings, vast pillars and temple-like decor.

At the end of each ceremony, the “bridal buggy” whisks the new couple off to enjoy a romantic candlelit dinner under the stars on a private beach. A stunning table, prepared using natural local materials including the island’s signature orchids, serves as the setting where a special souvenir menu created for this most memorable occasion is presented by a private waiter.

For ease of planning, the Legendary Sunset Wedding is a comprehensive offering which includes: choice of ceremony venue, decorated with fresh flowers and signature Reethi Rah orchids; Master of Ceremony and wedding certificate; a bridal bouquet of orchids, roses or lilies, a fresh flower buttonhole for groom, a floral head piece, and fresh flower petals showered on couple � all custom designed by the in-house florist; celebratory bottle of champagne; custom wedding cake; newlywed golf buggy decorated with fresh flowers; and, candlelit dinner with personalised menu served in private villa or on the beach. The package also includes music customised by the resident DJ, the services of a professional photographer providing 20 digital negatives and commemorative album upon departure, choice of bridal manicure or pedicure, and the full services of the resort’s Celebration Consultant.

For those who have already married in their home country, One&Only Maldives at Reethi Rah welcomes newlyweds with a sublime ambience - from water sports and spa indulgences to dining on fabulous cuisine or dancing barefoot on the sand. When staying for a minimum of five nights, honeymoon guests can enjoy a complimentary candlelit dinner (exclusive of beverages) and a signature honeymoon amenity with flower bed decoration.

For the honeymooning couple just arriving at One&Only Maldives at Reethi Rah, a visit to the One&Only Spa by ESPA is an ideal way to unwind and celebrate their future days of life together. The Private Spa is the ultimate personal spa experience for couples wishing to retreat to total privacy, with each of the two exclusive Private Spa suites suspended over the turquoise Indian Ocean. Deeply relaxing and exquisite side-by-side ESPA rituals are personally prepared by individual therapists.

Newlyweds will cherish the chance to escape to a private sandbank for a romantic dinner under a starlit sky. For pure romance, couples might consider a private catamaran charter ideal for snorkelling a deserted sandbank, fishing or simply sipping champagne while watching the sun set. Perhaps a seaplane journey to a deserted island to snorkel crystal clear waters, sunbathe on a private beach, dine on a gourmet picnic, and toast a new beginning.

The country, comprising 1,190 small, mostly uninhabited coral islands, embarked on a tourism development spree in 2006, putting up 35 islands for development. Fifteen have been handed over to the private sector, while the rest are to be developed by the MTPB. “Each island will have one resort,” said Adam.
All 35 resorts are expected to be completed in the next three years, said Adam. Once completed, it will raise hotel ‘bed capacity’ to 23,000 from the current 17,500, he added. The country is hoping that the new developments will help to attract one million tourists by 2010.
Maldives boasted 600,000 tourist arrivals in 2006. Arrivals from the GCC are expected to jump this year as more direct flights from the region to Maldives are planned this year. Etihad Airways plans to start operating flights to Maldives in November, said Adam, and more flights from Dubai are also expected.
