NH Collection Reethi Resort Launches The Maxies Family Club

17 April, 2026

A vacation in the Maldives is often imagined as a romantic escape, but more families are discovering that the islands are the perfect setting for multi-generational adventures. Leading this transformation is the newly reimagined NH Collection Maldives Reethi Resort, which has just unveiled an incredible addition: The Maxies Family Club. This brand-new, nature-inspired sanctuary is set to redefine family travel in the Indian Ocean.

This isn't just a kids' club; it's a vibrant space designed for connection and play. Following a massive six-month renovation and rebrand (formerly Reethi Beach Resort) in December 2025, the property has reopened with a fresh focus on family experiences.

Introducing The Maxies Family Club at NH Collection Reethi Resort

Nestled in the heart of the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, NH Collection Reethi Resort has launched a "tech-light" sanctuary designed to invite young explorers to connect with nature. Spanning 165 square metres, The Maxies Family Club features bright, breezy interiors that open onto generous outdoor play spaces.

The design is anchored in the resort’s philosophy of indoor–outdoor living. Inspired by the kaleidoscopic colours of the house reef, the setting feels both spirited and soothing. Inside, children can explore a supervised two-storey playground, while outdoors, a toddler-friendly family pool with a water slide keeps the laughter going.

Activities and the "Dodo4Kids" Program

The programming at The Maxies Family Club is designed for children aged 5 to 12, blending movement, creativity, and imagination. Activities include:

• Dance classes and musical games

• Face painting and paper art

• Environmental storytelling

A standout feature is the Dodo4Kids educational initiative. Developed in collaboration with SUNx Malta, this program introduces young guests to the concept of Climate Friendly Travel. Through interactive learning and activities that connect them with nature and Maldivian communities, the programme aims to inspire environmental awareness from an early age.

Family-Friendly Amenities and Services

The resort has gone above and beyond to ensure parents can relax too. Key family features include:

• Complimentary Babysitting: Parents can enjoy a romantic dinner or a spa treatment with two hours of daily complimentary babysitting.

• Family-Designated Villas: A selection of family-designated beach villas sits centrally along the island’s longest beach for easy access.

• The Reethi Suite: The resort’s largest two-bedroom villa is ideal for families looking for spacious accommodations with unparalleled privacy.

• Kids' Corner Dining: Jumla, the main buffet restaurant, features a dedicated Kids’ Corner serving comforting, nutritious favourites.

A New Era for the Former Reethi Beach Resort

The launch of The Maxies Family Club coincides with the property's grand reopening after an extensive transformation. Formerly known as Reethi Beach Resort, the island retreat has been completely redesigned to reflect the NH Collection brand’s signature style, blending Maldivian tradition with contemporary comforts.

105 Villas with a Touch of Luxury

The resort now boasts 105 garden, beach, and overwater villas. A highlight of the renovation is the introduction of 16 new pool villas, each featuring a private plunge pool and dedicated butler service. The overwater villas offer uninterrupted lagoon vistas from their expansive private decks.

A Culinary Journey Across Seven Outlets

Foodies will be delighted by the resort’s seven distinct dining venues. Signature experiences include:

• Alifaan: A beachfront grill focusing on flame-cooked dishes.

• Kaiyo: An overwater venue with an Asian-inspired menu.

• Jumla: An all-day dining restaurant with a global selection.

• Atardecer: A sunset bar offering tapas, cocktails, and live DJ sets.

• Handhuvaru: A unique rum bar where spirits are aged in the embrace of the ocean.

Why NH Collection Reethi Resort is the Perfect Family Getaway

Choosing the right resort for a family vacation requires balancing entertainment for the kids with relaxation for the adults. NH Collection Reethi Resort nails this balance.

The Magic of Baa Atoll

Location is everything. The resort is situated within the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Baa Atoll. It is less than 20 minutes from Hanifaru Bay, a world-renowned marine hotspot known for seasonal gatherings of majestic manta rays and whale sharks. Families can embark on snorkelling excursions to witness these gentle giants up close.

Endless Activities for All Ages

Beyond the family club, the island offers a wealth of activities:

• Water Sports: Jet skiing, wakeboarding, kayaking, windsurfing, and stand-up paddleboarding.

• Land Activities: Tennis, badminton, volleyball, and pickleball courts.

• Relaxation: The REVIVE spa offers holistic wellness treatments inspired by nature.

Guest Reviews and First Impressions

Early guest reviews for the newly rebranded property have been overwhelmingly positive. Travellers have praised the "amazing staff" and "exceptional hospitality," noting that the villas are "very good" and the atmosphere is "relaxing and wonderful". Families in particular appreciate the attentive service, with staff going above and beyond to cater to specific needs, such as food allergies.

Practical Information for Planning Your Trip

Getting to paradise is easier than you think. The resort is accessible via a 35-minute seaplane flight from Velana International Airport, or a 20-minute domestic flight to Dharavandhoo Airport followed by a 15-minute speedboat transfer.

All villa categories are designed to welcome children, and the resort offers flexible meal plans to suit every family’s needs.
