Highlights

Upon arrival at your resort, you’ll find a wide selection of experiences to enjoy. The resorts featured on Rihaala all provide private spa treatment rooms with male and female therapists. All resorts featured on Rihaala serve a wide selection of halal dining options as standard, but for those extra special experiences, you could try the underwater restaurant at the Conrad Rangali. 
 
Your daily activities in the Maldives will vary depending on the resort you’re staying at. Nearly all resorts will have non-motorised water sports available like paddle boarding or kayaking. Motorised water sports are less frequent in order to protect the marine ecosystems of the islands. Many resorts will offer a cruise excursion and maybe a chance to try some local hand line fishing. Most resorts will have a PADI diving school, so if you would like to learn, beginners can earn their basic diving certification in the Maldives.
