Botel Ritrella

What made this boat special was the crew, who did so much to make our holiday memorable. The food was great, and the boat felt more luxurious and spacious than I'd expect at this price. The islands and beaches we visited were stunning, and the trips they arranged were magical. I'll always remember the whale shark experience, along with the beach barbecue on a beautifully lit sand bank, which was included at no extra charge. Cabin charters this good are rare, and I highly recommend the yacht.

We only stayed two nights and three days, but I really enjoyed it. The yacht moved to a new place each day, with two activities organized daily: one included in the price and another optional one for an extra cost. My room was spacious and comfortable, the food was excellent, and the staff were warm and friendly. I highly recommend it.

Riff and the crew made a stressful flight cancellation feel like a holiday. We were even allowed to stay aboard with lunch after checkout, until it was time to catch our speedboat back to the airport. Thank you, Riff, and everyone on board. You were amazing, and we’d happily recommend RITRELLA. We booked RITRELLA on booking.com at the last minute, not knowing what to expect. A speedboat met us at Male airport on time and took us about 40 minutes out to the yacht. The boat was stunning, and we were welcomed with a cold drink and towels. Riff gave us a tour and showed us to our cabin. There’s a small pool and sun loungers, free trips to nearby islands and snorkeling, plus other excursions and diving for a reasonable fee. The yacht traveled around the south and nothing male area. Full board was lovely, and snacks, tea, coffee, and water were always available.

I’ll always remember our time on Ritrella. Riff, the cruise manager, Prasanna, Jent, Sakill, and the whole team were so welcoming and accommodating, and they really made an effort to make guests feel special. For a stay and adventure in the Maldives that feels different, I’d gladly recommend Ritrella. ✨
