(NEWS) MALDIVES, 2026-Jan-20 — /Travel PR News/ — Minor Hotels‘ premium hospitality brand NH Collection Hotels & Resorts has officially relaunched NH Collection Maldives Reethi Resort following a comprehensive refurbishment and rebrand, repositioning one of Baa Atoll’s long-established island resorts for today’s travellers. Based on information shared in the company’s official announcement, the transformation introduces redesigned accommodation, updated dining concepts and expanded leisure facilities, while retaining the resort’s long-standing connection to its natural surroundings.
Located on the island of Fonimagoodhoo within the UNESCO-protected Baa Atoll biosphere reserve, the resort now comprises 105 refurbished villas, alongside upgraded restaurants, bars, family-oriented spaces and a newly refreshed spa. According to official press materials, sustainability has played a central role in the redevelopment, with the use of environmentally conscious materials, operational waste reduction measures and the introduction of an on-island garden supplying herbs for the kitchens and fresh flowers for guest areas.
Accommodation has been reconfigured to place greater emphasis on privacy and direct engagement with the island’s environment. Beach villas sit close to the shoreline, offering immediate access to the house reef, while family-friendly layouts introduce private plunge pools and outdoor living areas. The Reethi Suite, positioned on a secluded stretch of beach, has been set apart as the resort’s most private accommodation option, featuring its own garden and pool with ocean views. Overwater villas have also been updated, with interiors incorporating Maldivian design elements created by in-house artisans using recycled materials, based on details outlined in official updates.
The resort’s experience offering focuses on both marine exploration and land-based activities. According to information released by NH Collection, guests can access diving, freediving and a range of water sports directly from the island, while the nearby Hanifaru Bay provides seasonal opportunities to observe manta rays and whale sharks. Onshore, the resort has expanded its children’s facilities and upgraded recreational amenities, including fitness spaces and covered sports areas designed for year-round use.
Wellness remains a key component of the refreshed resort, with the REVIVE Spa & Wellness introducing updated treatment rooms and a menu that combines local ingredients with established therapeutic practices. Official communications highlight a mix of signature Maldivian-inspired rituals, couples’ treatments and modern skincare offerings as part of the spa’s repositioning.
Dining has also been expanded, with eight restaurants and bars now operating across the island. Based on official press details, the venues range from all-day international dining and beachfront grills to overwater Asian cuisine and a limited-capacity fine dining concept focused on curated menus and wine pairings. Private dining experiences, including beach and sandbank settings, are positioned as part of the resort’s offering for couples and special occasions, reinforcing its appeal as a destination for weddings and vow renewals.
Accessible via seaplane from Malé or by domestic flight followed by speedboat transfer, the relaunched NH Collection Maldives Reethi Resort reflects the brand’s wider strategy of updating legacy properties while preserving their established identity. As outlined in official announcements, the rebrand aims to balance contemporary expectations for comfort, wellness and sustainability with the sense of place that has defined the resort for generations of returning guests.
