Summer Island Maldives - Reethi Rah

Private island resort in North Male' Atoll with over-water spa and on-site dive school

Accommodations

Summer Island Maldives offers 156 rooms spread across a tiny 509-meter-long island, with Over-water villas providing direct lagoon access and glass-floor panels to watch marine life. Superior Beach Bungalows on the sunrise side come with numbered sun loungers reserved exclusively for each room, ensuring no need to stake out beach space early. Premium beachfront rooms include private stretches of sand, while water villa guests enjoy access to the Hiya restaurant and Avi over-water bar.

Dining

Guests dine at the Hiya over-water restaurant for premium breakfast buffet and semi-buffet dinners with a chef's menu, while the Samuga restaurant serves themed buffet meals each evening with live cooking stations. The beachfront BBQ is a scheduled evening event with grilled seafood and meats served on the sand, lit by torches. Wine & cheese tastings are held on the sunset side with feet in the water, and fresh lobster can be ordered from a separate shellfish menu.

Wellness & Spa

The over-water full service spa offers treatments in villas perched above the lagoon, with holistic massages and a steam room available. Yoga classes are held in an open-air pavilion overlooking the ocean, and the spa facilities include an open-air bath and sun loungers for post-treatment relaxation. A 24-hour fitness center with treadmills, bikes, and free weights is open to all guests.

Activities & Adventures

The on-site dive school (Diverland) offers courses with multi-lingual instructors and daily dive trips to sites where mantas, turtles, and reef sharks are frequently spotted. Twice-daily free snorkeling boat trips take guests to surrounding reefs, and guests can see black-tip reef sharks and stingrays from the jetty each afternoon. Water sports include kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, jet skiing, windsurfing, and catamaran sailing (with a license), plus evening entertainment such as live bands, DJ nights, and karaoke.
