ELEGANT TRAVELLER

Huvafen Fushi Blogs

Barefoot luxury has become a byword in the Maldives with dreamy vistas, Michelin-level dining and a stunning underwater Huvafen Spa being second nature in this rejuvenated Indian Ocean haven. Yet Huvafen Fushi, a multi-award-winning hideaway, still manages to stand apart - and not just due to its secluded atoll setting within a private lagoon, reached via a thirty-minute speedboat transfer. At this luxurious retreat, forty-four spacious and contemporary bungalows and pavilions are equipped with Bang & Olusfen bluetooth speakers and plasma-screen televisions, and boast their own 'Thakuru' butler service. All feature a private plunge pool (Deluxe Beach Bungalows feature two, including a pool on their front decks right on the beach) and a split-level decking with an alfresco dining area, and offer pure escapism in a truly breathtaking setting. In addition, there are lots of watersports to enjoy, including PADI-accredited scuba-diving and kitesurfing, plus The Lair - a super chill out lounge with DVDs, books, magazines and board games - and expeditions with the resident marine biologist to spot the area's rich marine wildlife. Families are welcome at Huvafen Fushi and little ones will love the fun-filled Kids Corner, featuring a dedicated space for children under 10 years old, as well as a teen 'hangout' zone with games consoles and a pool table. For the ultimate stay, book the exciting CUBE, a private residence with a wealth of space to enjoy.
