Endowed with a trio of fresh accolades that speak of a reputation for luxury, originality and exceptional service, Maldives icon Huvafen Fushi is delighted to announce its reopening to guests from 1 November 2020.
The reopening will coincide with the launch of a brand-new website, reflecting the resort’s continued evolution and rediscovery of the inimitable characteristics that made it the Maldives’ original private island idyll. Resuming its place in the Small Luxury Hotels of the World pantheon, Huvafen’s renowned standards of service and extraordinary, ethereal guest experiences have also received major award recognitions in TripAdvisor’s Traveler’s Choice Award 2020 and Organic Spa magazine’s Wellness Travel Awards.
Just 30 minutes by speedboat from Velana International Airport, Huvafen Fushi exists in a dreamlike bubble; beyond the banal intrusions of flight or boat paths, wreathed only by horizon. A sanctuary of iconic design and natural beauty, the resort’s 44 enrapturing, naturally modern villas – each with a private deck and freshwater infinity pool – are enhanced by the signature Thakuru butler service first pioneered by Huvafen Fushi over 15 years ago. An array of unique culinary experiences are infused with the resort’s customary serenity, from subterranean gastronomic adventures curated by renowned consultant sommelier Guillem Kerambrun at Vinum, the Indian Ocean’s only underground wine cellar; to laid-back Izakaya-style dining at Huvafen’s unmistakable overwater restaurant, now returned to its birth name, Salt.
Befitting its deserved reputation as a timeless exemplar of Maldivian luxury, Huvafen Fushi recently rejoined Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH). A champion of exclusive, independent hotels, SLH represents some of the most luxurious hotels in the world, dedicated to providing enriched experiences for guests while maintaining responsible environmental and social practices. Huvafen’s dedication to delivering unsurpassed service levels has also been honoured with a TripAdvisor Traveler’s Choice Award 2020 – a prestigious accolade founded on consistently excellent verified guest reviews. Completing the trio of titles, the resort’s legendary Huvafen Spa – famed for its world-first underwater treatment area, a unique otherworldly treasure for wellness connoisseurs seeking a deeper experience – has been named Most Unique 2020 in the Wellness Travel Awards by Organic Spa magazine.
