ABOUT
The Setting
On the eastern edge of the Lhaviyani Atoll in the Indian Ocean resides Fushifaru, a boutique hideaway that treats Kind Travelers to an authentic Maldivian experience without sacrificing luxury and refinement. The island resort rests on unspoiled sands nestled against lush greenery surrounded by blue diamond waters. If that sets your pulse racing, wait until you hear about their conservation efforts which earned the resort a Green Globe certification. At Fushifaru Maldives, they strive to use all resources possible in an effort to achieve their zero-waste goal, proving low-impact travel and luxury can coexist. Single-use plastics are eliminated on the island, and flowers, herbs & vegetables are planted by the team of chefs & gardeners for use in the restaurants. You can do your part too, you can join their coral reef restoration snorkel tour or plant your own tree on the island before you leave. If you ask us, that’s a pretty swell way to spend a vacation in tropical paradise.
Sleep and Sanctuary
Fushifaru offers 44 beach villas and 19 water villas designed in the highest echelon of natural beauty and eco-friendly fashion. Choose from Sunrise villas looking out towards “Maakandu,” the wild Indian Ocean. Or Sunset villas that look to “Etherevari,” the calm crystal lagoon. Over-water villas face “Kandu-ohli,” the vibrant channel next to the sandbank. Inside the villas, Kind Travelers will find refillable shower amenities in ceramic bottles (eliminating single use plastic bottles), low-wattage appliances and lighting, non-toxic paint, natural timber furnishings all designed to ensure an ozone-friendly experience. Other notable treats are private pools (in beach pool villas and water villas), indoor and outdoor garden showers, private verandas covered in sun loungers and day beds, Illy espresso machines and for those sticky Madivian nights, air conditioning and fans. Should you need any more pampering, just check with your resident host assigned to make your stay as blissful as possible.
Eat. Pray. Eat.
Take a culinary journey around the world in any of Fushifaru’s internationally inspired dining experiences. Three restaurants are on the island featuring tropical cuisine featuring bounties from the sea and locally-sourced farmer produce. Also enjoy ocean views and handcrafted cocktails at the resort’s two bars. For even more decadence, treat yourself to one-of-a-kind island experiences like a floating in-pool breakfast and private dining under the stars to a picnic on the sandbank. All vegan and other dietary restrictions are happily accommodated throughout.
