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 décor.
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.
