Huvafen Fushi

The Huvafen Fushi is an exceptional option for a vacation. Close to Male, 35 minutes by boat, the resort spans a small tropical island with excellent facilities, dining, recreational activities and spa. The staff were extremely helpful and supportive during our stay. All bungalows, both beach and over-ocean were tastefully decorated with excellent amenities. The spa includes and underwater option with tremendous views of coral and sea-life, one of the best spa experiences my wife and I have experienced. If you are looking for a totally relaxing experience in a low density tropical paradise then I highly recommend the Huvafen Fushi Maldives

So Huvafen Fushi aka Nacatcha Fushi was my first island in May 1989, hence there is a bit of a special bond . Together with hubby we re-visited in 2009 and 2018 and just came back after the current revamp. Transfer takes around 30/35 minutes with their fancy yacht. The island lies in a remote corner of the North-Malé-Atoll, pretty away from other resorts and traffic. Warm welcome on the arrival jetty with cold towels and a glass of champagne, also champagne along with treats and a welcome letter in the villa. Classy and old-school luxury style. All 46 units feature a chic and contemporary design, private pool and a butler-service. Our Thukuru Shaana was a very lovely person, very dedicated. The deluxe beach bungalows are equipped with two pools, one in the backyard and one in front of the beach. Fantastic bath amenities from Diptyque. We stayed in bungalow # 8 which is located on the best part of the island in my opinion. The bungalows come with a very good layout, sufficient space for the baggage, a pretty bathroom with full glass windows and an additional outdoor shower. Also, an easy-to-handle light system. Mattress and bedding are really comfortable. The overwater bungalows feature just one pool, they are huge, especially the ocean ones on the reef-side which come with a glass floor bottom in the living room. We also had a look into the 2 Bedroom Ocean Pavilion, very wow! The wide lagoon on sunrise side provides perfect swimming options. The house reef is easily accessible on sunset side. Good amount of fish life and many sharks are around, including nurse sharks (yet, this time we did not spot one, yet a troop of larger blacktips). Open-concept main outlet Celsius provides a sand floor and a snugly ambiance. Huvafen now implemented a breakfast buffet, very appreciated! Nice presentation along with a fine selection. The Danish fruit pastries are excellent. The interior design at Celsius is currently still the same, yet it will be changed and upgraded shortly (new chairs for example ). The main bar is located close to Celsius, also with a sandy floor and a cosy atmosphere. The Mediterranean venue Fogliani’s lies next to the large infinity pool and is open for lunch. I can highly recommend the different types of Ceviche. There is also a wood stove for preparing traditional Italian pizza. Eight metres below lies Vinum, the impressive wine cellar. Apart from wine & cheese tastings, it’s also a great option for a private dinner. The overwater complex comes with a wooden outdoor chilling deck for sunset cocktails and two outlets: Raw open for lunch, offering organic cuisine and healthy drinks and Salt, the Japanese signature outlet. We had a fantastic dinner over there, stunning setting. For dessert, I asked for a mangosteen platter. They were not available here, thus they sent somebody to grab it from the main outlet. A very nice gesture – and I would have taken something else of course. There are a bunch of different options for a romantic dinn

I’ve found the most beautiful island in the Maldives! Having fallen in love with the Maldives in general I was determined to come back to this country for the third time and try this resort - natural island, house reef, stunning bungalows. I was blown away by the sheer beauty of this island, and, lacking words to adequately describe this natural wonder, I’ll let the photos speak for themselves. The staff here are warm and friendly, you will feel spoilt the moment you are greeted at airport arrivals. There are also lots of intuitive little touches that melt your heart. Let yourself be inspired, and live a dream.

Huvafen is, quite literally, paradise. Beautifully maintained throughout and with super friendly service at all times. We’ve been fortunate enought to visit a fair few high end resorts but this one is in a class of its own. Cuisine was fantastic. Water and beach villas absolutely beautiful. (Recommend a few nights in each as it’s a different experience) Lunch at Raw and dinner at Salt were incredible. Special thanks to our wonderful villa host Shana and the resort manager Noel. We’re already looking forward to our next visit. Steve and Louise
