For the ultimate island experience, you could not do much better than a luxury Maldives holiday. This chain of 1,190 coral islands lies in the Indian Ocean 435 miles southwest of Sri Lanka, right on the equator. These little islands are grouped together into 26 separate atolls. The result is a number of beautiful azure serene lagoons and live coral reefs and sand bars. Many of these coral islands are populated, but eighty-seven of them are dedicated to their own exclusive resorts.
Not many people are lucky enough to visit the Maldives, but those who do make it to the islands are treated to a rare and exciting experience. The unique geography of the area enables you to discover natural wonders that provide a myriad of fascinating activities centered around the underwater splendor of the Maldives Islands.
The Maldives are a Mecca for scuba diving because of the high level of visibility in the waters. They are known to have some of the best diving sites in the world. The dozens of shallow reefs provide the perfect atmosphere for snorkeling. Most of the reefs are just a short distance from the beaches and in some cases are shallow enough to walk through. The Maldives are also one of the top places on earth to see more than 20 species of whale and dolphin.
Naturally, on your once-in-a-lifetime visit to the Maldives you will need a beautiful home base from which to explore. Huvafen Fushi is just such a place. The beauty and luxury of this amazing resort is almost surreal.
Among the variety of accommodations at the Huvafen Fushi are lagoon bungalows that are built over the waters of the lagoon with private decks and hot tubs. Steps take you from the deck directly into the water below. Some have glass floors allowing you to view the marine life without leaving your room. The ocean bungalows provide an endless view of the Indian Ocean. The three-tiered deck features an infinity pool, dining area, and deck perfect for soaking up the sun. All of the accommodations assure that the beach, ocean, or lagoon are right at your fingertips and they are all luxuriously appointed.
At Huvafen Fushi you can include a day on one of their 65-foot sailboats, known as dhonis. Spend a day sailing between the islands while being pampered by a full staff.
This resort has five different restaurants and bars, each offering a different atmosphere, but all with the same magnificent views. They even have an underground cave stocked with an unparalleled collection of the finest wines.
Avail yourself of the many spa services they provide in their unique underwater spa rooms. Allow the resort staff to set you up with one of the many diversions like snorkeling excursions, a dolphin cruise, sunset fishing, catamaran trips, or canoeing in glass-bottomed kayak. You can even have a massage on a deserted island.
Huvafen Fushi is the absolutely perfect place to indulge yourself in one of the most beautiful places in the world.
