Welcome to RAH GILI MALDIVES. An island society at the edge of the South Malé' Atoll, where barefoot luxury flows with the tides. Our villas rise from beach and lagoon, our days are shaped by sun and sea, and our ethos is one of joyful connection: to nature, to culture, and to each other. RAH GILI offers the seclusion of a private island with the spirit of a community; a place where life slows, stories deepen, and every guest feels part of something wondrous.
The journey begins with the sea. A glide across turquoise waters, the skyline fading behind you. As you step ashore, shoes slip off, time dissolves, and the island embraces you. Arrival at RAH GILI is not just a welcome, it’s an awakening. The beginning of a stay where freedom is barefoot, joy is shared, and each day unfolds in rhythm with the ocean.
We carry the soul of the Maldives in every detail. Our island is a dolphin sanctuary, a place where spinner dolphins gather to play in the surrounding waters. Inspired by Maldivian traditions, we weave culture into daily life; from Boduberu drumming by the firepit to local crafts and flavours. Here, heritage is a living heartbeat, blending past and present into the RAH GILI experience.
RAH GILI was built with respect for the island we call home. From eco-conscious design and renewable energy initiatives to coral preservation and dolphin sanctuary protection, sustainability is our way of being. Every choice is guided by care for the reef, the waters, and the community that sustains them. Luxury and responsibility are inseparable for us.
