Huvafen Fushi Maldives

A scenic half hour luxury speedboat journey from the capital, serene privacy and laidback sophistication are paired with modern Maldivian flair at Huvafen Fushi Maldives. But it’s not just the endless seascapes of the brilliant blue waves that make this blissful retreat an exceptional place to stay – there’s a unique underwater spa dedicated to wellness, an abundance of marine life from turtles and manta rays to reef sharks just beyond the shore and any number of fun ways to explore the atoll including private charters on the resort’s very own yacht. Boasting six restaurants and bars, there are plenty of choices when it comes to drinking and dining throughout the day, with our top pick being the subterranean wine cellar, though you also cannot go past the romantic destination dining options from sandbank lunches to underwater dinners. And while it would seem that this a place for indulgent adults escapes – and it is! – there’s also enough fun activities for kids and teens that families feel very much welcome here too.
