Minor Hotels will be rebranding the Maldives Reethi Beach Resort into an NH Collection which is set to open in the final quarter of 2025.

The hotelier will be working in partnership with a private equity fund managed by Ares Management to extensively renovate the 129-key property into NH Collection Maldives Reethi Resort

Reethi Beach Resort will remain open until 25th April 2025, after which it will close for six months to undergo its transformation into NH Collection. 

The resort is set on an island in Hanifaru Bay within the Baa Atoll, which is just a 35-minute seaplane flight from Velana International Airport in Male.

The renovation, the most significant in the resort’s 25-year history, will include upgrades to the villas, dining outlets, and leisure facilities while preserving the lush island’s natural beauty.

NH Collection Maldives Reethi Resort will offer a mix of on-land and overwater villas that cater to the needs of a wide range of travellers. This includes 10 distinctive food and beverage outlets, including all-day dining venues, speciality restaurants, and bars. 

The resort offers diverse water activities in the Baa Atoll and its house reefs, including diving, snorkelling, fishing, and water sports. On land, there are plans for a spa, pools, tennis, badminton and squash courts plus a fully equipped fitness centre.

Puneet Dhawan, Head of Asia at Minor Hotels, says the group is “excited to partner with Ares Management to introduce a fresh chapter for Reethi Beach Resort under the NH Collection brand.”

The premium brand property will join Minor Hotels’ two resorts in the Baa Atoll – Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas and Avani+ Maldives Fares Resort.

NH Collection Maldives Reethi Resort will be Minor Hotels’ ninth property in the Maldives and the second NH Collection property, alongside NH Collection Maldives Havodda Resort, which opened in 2023 in Ghaafu Dhaalu Atoll.
