Today, we’re sharing the heartfelt stories of a sweet couple who have grown to love the Maldives, specifically the luxurious resort: Reethi Faru.
Meet Iain and Debbie. Back in 2005, they discovered Mahagony Group by chance, which kicked off their journey with Reethi Faru Resort. Since then, they’ve felt a deep connection to this beautiful island and the exceptional hospitality it offers, bringing them back to this tropical paradise year after year.
Debbie recently celebrated her 40th visit to the Maldives, and Iain has visited even more times than her! What love they have for this island getaway! For Iain and Debbie, the Maldives is more than just a vacation spot. It’s become a part of their story, almost like a second home. Here, they’ve not only experienced the natural beauty of the Maldives but also built lasting, meaningful connections with the resort and its people.
Building Lasting Bonds
“When we arrive, it feels like we’re meeting family at the end of a very long journey,” says Debbie. It’s no surprise that they have visited Reethi Faru Resort repeatedly, celebrating holidays, birthdays, and special occasions, all while forming strong bonds with the friendly staff. Their consistent loyalty to the resort highlights the exceptional service and the warm sense of community they have experienced there.
As retirees, Iain and Debbie enjoy the luxury of spending up to three months at a time at Reethi Faru. During these extended stays, they’ve found the perfect balance between adventure and relaxation. They spend their days exploring the vibrant underwater world of the island swimming through coral reefs and encountering diverse marine life, or unwinding at the Coconut Spa, tucked away in a tranquil coconut grove that offers pure serenity.
A Place for Adventure and Relaxation
The pair also love indulging in the exquisite dining options available. “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. Whether they’re enjoying a laid-back meal with views of the ocean or savoring a more intimate dining experience, every dish is a celebration of the island’s flavors and the culinary creativity that makes dining here unforgettable.
Iain and Debbie’s bond with Reethi Faru goes beyond the activities or the beautiful surroundings. It’s the emotional connection they’ve built with the resort’s staff and the feeling of belonging that makes each visit truly special. “Every time we leave, I cry all day, even though I know I’ll be back soon. It’s always hard to leave such a wonderful place,” Debbie admits.
Their love for Reethi Faru Resort has also inspired others. Over the years, they’ve shared their joy of the resort with friends, many of whom have joined them on their trips. “We’ve recommended Reethi Faru to so many of our friends, and it’s become a place we all return to together,” says Iain. After 30 visits to Reethi Faru, it’s no surprise they continue to come back. Each trip offers new memories and strengthens the bond they’ve built with the island and its people.
Reethi Faru isn’t just a resort for Iain and Debbie. It’s more than just a destination; it’s part of their story, a place where they can escape the every day and find joy in both the small moments and grand adventures. And as they look forward to their next visit, it’s clear that Reethi Faru Resort will always hold a special place in their hearts.
