Reethi Carnival Festive Season 2016/17
Welcome to One&Only Reethi Rah’s festive journey, featuring days of celebrations around our beautiful island. It has been another phenomenal year for us and I would like to thank each and every one of you for treating our team members as your family and One&Only Reethi Rah as your home away home. Time has flown by in a blink of an eye and I cannot believe that we are already anticipating to welcome 2017. What do you see when you imagine your perfect Christmas and New Year? For some people, it’s a festive table filled with a traditional roast turkey, crackling fires and exchanging beautiful gifts. For others, it may be a summer or winter tale filled with champagne, Christmas carols and joyful reunions with loved ones. For you, it is another unforgettable holiday that our team has put together for the last twelve months. This Festive Season, our beautiful resort is emerged into the magic of Brazil’s Rio Carnival. The island will be filled with abundant colours, fun spirits and events where you can dance, sing, party and have an overdose of fun as we set the stage for another remarkable celebration. So now, leave the hard work to us and rejoice in our festivities. On behalf of the One&Only Reethi Rah family, I wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year with your loved ones.
With our warmest season’s greetings,
Jean-Luc Naret General Manager
