Reethi Faru Resort shares the heartfelt stories of their dear guests, Iain and Debbie, who recently celebrated Debbie’s 40th visit to the Maldives, while Iain has made more visits than she has. Their journey with Reethi Faru began in 2005 when they discovered the Mahogany Group by chance, and since then, a deep connection has brought them back to this island paradise every year.
Iain and Debbie have turned their love for the Maldives into a unique experience as visitors and as part of an extended family. Over the years, they have built lasting friendships with the staff of Reethi Faru, celebrating holidays, birthdays and special occasions together. “When we arrive, it feels like we’re meeting family at the end of a very long journey,” says Debbie. This sense of warmth and closeness reflects the unique experience offered at Reethi Faru.
As retirees, Iain and Debbie now enjoy extended stays at the resort, spending up to three months a year diving, indulging in exceptional dining and enjoying spa treatments. Their loyalty to the resort speaks to the outstanding service and spirit of the community nurtured at Reethi Faru. “We know everyone who works in the restaurants, and they treat us like friends. Those little touches – like trying something new or receiving a taster dish – make all the difference,” explains Iain.
Their emotional connection to the resort is so strong that even thinking about leaving brings tears. “Every time we leave, I cry all day, even though I know I’ll be back in a few months. It’s always very hard to leave such a wonderful place,” Debbie admits.
Their enthusiasm for Reethi Faru is infectious, inspiring friends to come and join them. “We’ve recommended Reethi Faru to many of our friends, and it has become a central meeting point for divers and food lovers,” Iain adds. “We all share a common passion for what we love.” They have now visited Reethi Faru 30 times and have already secured their next vacation at the resort.
Reethi Faru Resort is committed to creating a welcoming environment where guests can forge connections and create unforgettable memories. They look forward to welcoming Iain, Debbie and all their returning guests in the years to come.
