Customers must advise of arrival details for transfer arrangements. Note that customers who arrange their own transport will be responsible for any difficulty in finding the property. Additional charges and fees related to the transfer will be borne by the guest or, if paid via bank transfer, as specified by the resort.

Services and Safety

The property offers services catering to disability, infants & children, pregnancy, or persons that have difficulty to move around, boarding to/from vessels or any other activity.

“Rihiveli wins on two fronts: its incredible lagoon, genuinely one of the best in the Maldives, and its refreshingly remote location. The smaller scale translates to personalized service and an eco-conscious approach, and it's a real treat to be able to wade to nearby islands. This is a place for tranquility and immersion in natural beauty.”
