The Maldives is the world’s most dreamlike island destination, and Huvafen Fushi is one of its most iconic resorts. This guide helps you plan the perfect Maldives holiday within your budget.
7-Day 6-Night Itinerary
Day 1: Arrive Malé + speedboat to the island Fly into Malé international airport and take a 30-minute speedboat transfer to Huvafen Fushi. Check into your overwater bungalow — your room opens directly to the ocean for snorkelling. Spend the afternoon lounging on your private deck; watch the Indian Ocean sunset.
Days 2–3: Snorkelling + underwater restaurant Huvafen Fushi’s surrounding coral reef is immaculately preserved — sea turtles, manta rays, and small reef sharks are resident. Take a dhoni boat out for guided snorkelling. The resort’s underwater restaurant (SEA) was the first of its kind in the Maldives; dining on French cuisine beneath the sea is an unforgettable experience.
Day 4: Sunset cruise + spa An afternoon luxury yacht cruise with champagne and seafood barbecue on the water. Then experience the award-winning Huvafen Spa — the world’s first underwater spa — for yoga and massage sessions conducted beneath the ocean surface.
Days 5–6: Free days Join non-motorised water sports: kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, catamaran sailing. Or simply lie beside your villa pool, read, and decompress. Evening beach BBQ dinner under the stars, with open-air cinema afterwards.
Day 7: Check out and return
