[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Portraying an atmosphere of amicable hospitality, the staff that welcomed us to the breathtaking retreat of One & Only Reethi Rah were testament to the warm environment encompassing the island. Greeting us with generous smiles at the sun kissed pier at One & Only Reethi Rah, they exhibited a harmonious level of co-existence, privy only to the family of employees and the guests that resided within.

On-going work for the final completion of their 12th Anniversary event engulfed the otherwise peaceful atmosphere. A lavish display of ‘pirate’ themed ornaments lined up at the entrance of the main event, scheduled to commence late evening.

The grand event; commemorating the 12th Year Anniversary of One & Only Reethi Rah was ‘docked’ on a monumental shipwreck; built by the Reethi Rah family. Following the first distribution of the lucky draw winners, the event was inaugurated with the traditional performance of their own ‘Boduberu’ team.

A special appearance was also made by the Maldivian band ‘Symbolic Records’ – a hip-hop boy group, grooving in a bit of ‘rap’ with their songs, for the energetic crowd.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”13880″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Throughout the occasion, numerous staff engaged in showcasing their skills with artistic performances in front of a make-believe X-Factor panel reflecting humorous personalities by four ecstatic judges, including Jean-Luc Naret, General Manager of Reethi Rah, the Resort Manager, the Learning and Development Manager, and the Director of Human Resources.
