Reethi Faru Resort

Project context

Reethi Faru is an operating private-island resort on Filaidhoo in the Raa Atoll, with 145 beach and overwater villas.

NEXTSTEP prepared renovation and repositioning advice for Reethi Faru, assessing how capital works could strengthen the resort's accommodation, amenities and guest experience. The assignment considered technical upgrades, development priorities, island logistics, marine and coastal dependencies, and the governance required to take the proposed improvements into delivery.
