"Designed by Belgian architect Jean-Michel Gathy, this property stretches over 6 kilometers of powdery white sand with 118 generously sized beach and water villas and 12 beaches to explore. The half-board offering includes daily breakfast for two at the overwater Reethi Restaurant (buffet plus chef-prepared a la carte) and nightly three-course dinner at Reethi Earth (French-focused) or Rabarbaro (Italian); drinks are not included, though the package includes a luxe round-trip shared boat transfer to and from Velana International Airport. Expect thatch roofs, dark wood accents, lofty ceilings, and many villas with private pools or secluded stretches of sand; note that the half-board dinner coverage applies to two of the six dining options and reservations are required at several venues." - Sophie Dodd Sophie Dodd Sophie Dodd is a travel, wine and lifestyle writer.
