Sitting in Faadhippolhu (LH) atoll, this island is home to one of the most exquisite landscapes. Fushifaru is located between two channels connecting the atolls inner lagoon to the outer sea. Its historical and natural distinctiveness is evident from three of the most extraordinary dive sites in the southern channel, synonymously named after the island. Neighbouring a sand bank towards the north, Fushifaru is also surrounded by a nationally protected reef. You can reach Fushifaru from a seaplane ride of just 35 minutes giving you a sky high view of your lively island nation host. Maldives, an Indian sub-continent is a string of twenty-six atolls with tropical islands. Our turquoise waters are home to a various marine ecosystems, white, sandy beaches and vast, marvelling reefs. Dhivehi is the local language of Maldives, a country with a history and culture like no other.

Simply,, Fushifaru resort is a fantastic, amazing and so quiet resort. it is the right place for relaxation, joy and fun.
I spent 10 days with my wife for our anniversary. we enjoyed every minute along the 10 days.
The island is a small and quiet island which is only 35 minutes by seaplane from Male, We got a personal assistance since we arrived to Male's Int airport until we reached our Villa in Fushifaru. When we left, we got the same assistance until we reach the passport counter in the airport.
Villas are nicely designed, fully equiped, very clean and well maintained. The staff are so friendly, very welcoming and speak good English. Food is great in both restaurants and in the swimming pool Cafe. Beaches are so beautiful, sunset view is breath taking, water sports are amazing with many varieties and professional coaches. They also have trips and journeys for fishing, turtles quest and dolphins quest and many others.
I and my wife seriously thinking to visit Fushifaru again. I highly recommend it especially for honeymooners.
Thanks to everybody in this resort who made our vacation very happy and a special thx to our host Chelsea

I spent two weeks with my family at Fushifaru resort including Christmas day 2019. The island itself is truly enchanting and the rooms are perfect, each one offers complete seclusion with a huge bathroom and private veranda just two steps from the edge of the sea. Being able to hear the sound of the waves from in bed was amazing! The complex is very well maintained and it is obvious that a great deal of attention is paid to every detail. All of the staff were fantastic, always helpful to the maximum and always with lovely smiling faces. The Valtur guys, Barbara, Rosario and Peppe were exceptional (And we travel a lot). Always very professional and never intrusive. Always organising just the right kind of activities for each type of guest. Our son is nine years old and he had a lot of fun snorkeling with Peppe every day, various creative activities with Barbara and karaoke with Rosario. They made his (and our) vacation unforgettable !! We loved the bar area and the infinity pool with its spectacular sunsets. The guys at the bar, Pradip, Sus, Dana, Vimal, Mahesh, Simatte, Erika took very good care of us. The restaurants are excellent, the food is beautifully prepared, well presented and varied. The waiters are very attentive and always careful not to miss anything at the table. We mostly ate the local and Asian cuisine but there were additional excellent offerings from the in house Italian chef Simone. We also experienced a magical evening with the resident Thai chef who prepares everything before your eyes on a huge teppanyaki while entertaining the diners with his acrobatic culinary performances. Pablo and the other guys at the dive centre were great at organising spectacular excursions without taking us too far from the island. We saw an abundance of turtles, sharks, rays, corals as well as an infinite variety of multi coloured fish everywhere. We only needed our snorkels in order to ride along with the sea currents for an incredible show. The Spa girls (Ana, Rachel and all the others) were so wonderful that my wife wanted to bring them home with us. We spent two beautiful weeks on the island and I have to say that General Manager Siaar does a magnificent job of running things with his admin staff (Jumms, Grace Kate and all the others). What more is there to say? A full 10 out of 10 holiday and we will definitely be back for more.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveler reviews.
Let me start by saying we have been overwhelmed by the quality and attention to detail in every aspect at this resort. It's a very small island, but it has everything one needs for a paradise escape. Every corner is a photo-shoot heaven.
STAFF is so attentive and go above and beyond, from the moment you set foot on the sand and to the moment you leave. I can only name a few, but all were excellent: Vimal from the restaurant, Saumon the chef, Jyoti from the bar, the chef at the live cooking station, Azeem at the front desk. There is no "not possible" or "can't be done" here.
FOOD is amazing. We only ate at the buffet (breakfast and dinner), but every day is a different cuisine, so you can never be bored. Vimal, our designated waiter, remembered from day one what our coffee and drinks preferences were, and was expecting us everyday with a full table. Small gifts, free snacks and drinks were left in the room daily. There is a happy hour at the bar, and you can get cocktails for 6 USD + taxes. We found the food and drinks outside the restaurants (at minibar and beach bars) decently priced overall, more affordable than other resorts. The beach bar had snack salads for 6 USD + taxes, so you could have a light lunch without breaking the bank. Cocktails were between 9-15 USD + taxes outside of happy hour. A glass of wine around 8 USD, coke 5 USD.
ROOMS. The facilities are new, rooms are in excellent condition, especially the new Water Villas opened in November 2020. We had a small issue with the AC and were moved to another villa immediately. Would definitely recommend the Beach Villa Sunrise with pool, we stayed in 216 and it was probably the most wonderful location of all beach rooms. Lots of greenery in front, making it private and quiet. We also tried the Water Villa with Pool (404) and have been very impressed with the design and generous space for a water villa. One thing to be careful about: the rooms are not the same in a given category, especially for the beach villas and I do not mean the indoor size or decor, but the garden size, amount of greenery and beach space.

We have been in new water villa 504 for 9 nights in February. The Watervilla was really beautiful, private, undisturbed view on the ocean. Also staff was very very nice, especially our villa attendant Simaah, Leni from the bar etc. etc. The Diving was also very nice! beautiful spots, many big fish and an amazing crew, Pablo and his team! Island is small but beautiful, sand is as a dream. There is more or less no house reef, all corals bleached, so if you look for nice house reef for snorkelling its the wrong place. Of course there is a channel, so on the edge of the reef where it gets deep you see some corals and nice fish. What we really didn't like is the pricing policy. We paid USD 1.000/night for the water villa and even the capsuls for the coffee machine we had to pay! You have to pay for fresh juice at the breakfast, one coconut is USD 8 ++. We had once buffet dinner (which was not included in our arrangement) and paid around USD 230 for 3 persons (of course drinks not included). One Pad Thai USD 45 ++ etc. So you have very high prices but quality is not aligned. And if you pay USD 1.000/night you expect some basic things included. This is for me a total disappointment, unfortunately

Fushifaru is a beautiful island in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Even the trip to the island with the seaplane is an amazing experience you wont forget. Embraced by crystal clear, turquiose water and a white shoreline around the whole island you really feel like you have come to paradise. This was our second trip to Fushifaru.
Friendly staff When we arrived at Fushifaru we had the most welcoming reception. The staff was singing, clapping and smiling and we immediately felt at home. Throughout our stay the staff was very friendly and helpful, and did their utter best to make sure we had the best stay possible.
Bungalow The Bungalow was idyllically placed on the beach and every morning we woke up to a breathtaking sunrise. Inside the bungalow was spacious with great height under the roof. The bathroom was outside which made the experience staying there even more authentic. On the front side of the bungalow there was a sundeck and a pool. The bungalow was cleaned twice a day.
Activities In the daytime there was plenty of activities to choose between. You could go snorkeling, diving, surfing, kiting, kayaking, fishing, dolphin hunting – you never get bored. And if you want more relaxing activities there are sunbeds at the beach, by the bungalow pool and by a big shared infinity pool. There was also a spa you could enjoy with massage, pedicure, manicure and many more offers done by the most friendly and excellent therapists.
Food There are two restaurants on the island, one a la carte and one with a buffet. At the buffet restaurant the food was excellent with a great international variety. Every night there was a new theme – we ate local food, Japanese, Mexican, Italian, Spanish, Indian and loved everything. At the a la carte restaurant we also enjoyed lovely food in a harmoniously atmosphere.
In the evening the hotel guests gathered at a big bar by the infinity pool. Here we could enjoy live music and dance and more quit evenings watching movies and playing snooker.
There are no doubts in our mind; we are definitely coming back for our third stay and will recommend Fushifaru to everyone! It´s Paradise on earth.

1. Sunset side has a better beach, smoothest sand and calmer waters. But, since the wind is almost non existent, is hotter than the sunrise.
2. This is an hotel to relax. So if you want American standard with tons of activities, electric "fun team" and non stop adrenaline, please choose another one. For us the level of activities was just Perfect.
3. Bear in mind the after arriving to Malé you need to take a seaplane (40 min aprx) and they only fly during day, so take special attention to your arrival time to and from Malé.
Now, the good stuff:
1. The beach was made in Heaven. There are not many reefs to explore, but they have a trip to a reef on the edge of a small cliff were you can see dozens of species and turtles. On your way there you also might be able to spot dolphins
2. The Host: Chelsea is the name of your "go to" guy. In the check in, during our stay, in our special requests and in the check out (where most of the hosts disappear) he was always there (even via whatsapp)
3. The Chefs: a very special thanks to Chef Chathura (and also to Chef Sachin) for the amazing (let me stress this: AMAZING) way and personalized attention he gave us. Unfortunately we were not able to say goodbye in the last day to him (which was the only sad moment of all that week).
Fushifaru Management, not keeping Chef Chathura (and also to Chef Sachin), would be one of your biggest mistakes.
The food is obviously amazing, but don't expect hotdogs, burgers and piles of dishes. The service is really great across the board.
Also a big thanks to Shazmeen, who was our personalized waiter for the whole week and in all the meals. He was "Super Good"
Also thanks to Joy at the Bar and all the staff at the Spa (we went there 3x) and the housekeeping (the flower arrangements were beautiful). Many thanks again
In summary: a true, personalized and with an hight quality standard Maldivian experience.
I never repeat a location/hotel (73 countries and counting), but I will open an exception to Fushifaru

We stayed there for 7 nights and it was the best accommodation experience we had so far. Just from the arrival you can feel how well everything is organized, you get help at the airport and then with the transfer to Heaven. At the reception you get someone that is taking care of you during your stay, ready to fulfill and event anticipate your request. We had Wifag, who was available 24/7 for us on whatsapp, sometimes knowing even better than us how we should spend our time. He organized for us the spectacular Extravaganza snorkeling experience where you could taste the Indian ocean and enjoy unique corral reef. I would highly recommend to stay close with the staff there as use their suggestions as they are always in your interest. For us, Wifag was actually a friend, cheering us with captivating discussions, being so smart and always kind, respectful and taking care we benefit most from our stay. He helped us with checking airport conditions for Covid departure and I can say in most of the cases the Fushifaru team did more than what we expected and what we paid for. The rooms are very, very clean (cleaned 2 times per day), the island is like a small paradise and everyone is working like a big family with the purpose to make you happy. They have few restaurants where you can choose a variety of things, we enjoyed sushi, fancy lobster and tasty Boduberu cocktail (don’t miss it). Every breakfast and dinner we had our personal waiter, Vimal, who always knew what we want to drink, what kind of food we would need and always came with great suggestions. Food was really good, I recommend all recipes based on Maldivian tuna, don’t miss the Arabic night and the fresh fruits bar every morning:) Thanks to Wifag we had the chance to see on the island unique Pla nkton visibile only at midnight, this being a lifetime experience that you cannot see in many places. We also enjoyed the swimming in the deep clear blue water and enjoyed everything from the watersports center. What I also like is that they always take care you get fresh water in your room, with multiple refills in a day. The unique vibe is actually given by the privacy you get, being a smaller island we sometimes felt we are just on our private island with empty beaches and no need to queue for something. The resort is quiet and very new and still in the ramp up phase (I think they launched 2-3 yrs ago). We could hardly leave that paradise but we promised Wifag we shall come back there one day!

If you are looking for the best possible resort to spend the perfect holiday in the Maldives, look no further. From the moment you arrive at Malé airport, every second of your stay is thought through in the smallest detail. Fushifaru Island is simply exuberant, full of activities and also has the perfect places to rest and take the most wonderful pictures. The staff are simply fantastic and attentive, always concerned with giving you the best possible service and making sure you are having the best holiday. The seaplane transfer to the island is something not to be missed, wonderful and unforgettable. You can make the most spectacular photos and videos. We stayed in a Sunrise Beach Villa for the first couple days and then at the amazing and breathtaking water villa, all stay with all inclusive. Everyday the room would be tidied twice in the most perfect details and the fridge refilled. We had the pleasure of celebrating our honeymoon there and also my birthday. The delicious food at ala carte restaurant Raakani is also a show apart and the drinks and cocktails prepared by the most skilled bartenders at Fanihandhi Bar is simply memorable. Breakfast everyday at Korakali is the perfect place to taste the most delicious meals and tropical fruits to start your day. The spa is also perfect and relaxing. We could enjoy moments of peace and tranquility participating in the most diverse programs of the resort. A very special thank you to Cathy who made our stay, honeymoon and anniversary celebrations as memorable as possible, who, besides being the most attentive and wonderful host, also sang splendidly on "Mondays with Cathy" and on the "Romantic Night". At Fushifaru you can realign your energies and come back completely renewed for your day to day life. We truly, truly recommend it!

Unproffesional management .Terrible managment communication ac dosent work in beach rooms and fridge dosent work at all spoiling all our kids medicine and milk and when you complain they give exuses like you need to keep the room chilled yet it still dosent work ,jetski dosent work ,spending so much on the jacuzzi room yet they the jacuzzi dosent even fill with hot water it dosent even fill half way through ,alot of lizards and insects in the beach room,they overburden their staff with so much work one man has to do 10 jobs which leads to late replies by the staff ,they charge such high prices yet they have kept only a very small staff team ,room service takes 90 minutes only to cook pizzas ,the swing in the middle of the beach swing is full of seaweed you cant even sit on it there are no lifeguards at all and there are naked kids in the swimming pool and there is no one to stop them from peeing everywhere in the pool in front of us which is why we couldnt even get in the main pool. When complaining on all the things to the manager they make you meet 3 different people and promise you things and offer you trips to the sand bank which is only 3 minutes away from the resort and when we asked if we could snorkle they said yes there will be fishes you can keep your snorkelling gear but when we carried such heavy kits there were no fishes at all and the heat was so bad we asked the team to come back to pick us yet they made us wait an hour our kids were dying in the heat very very bad resort never ever come here to stay.

Greetings from Fushifaru Maldives, Firstly, thank you for choosing our island for your valued stay. Your feedback is extremely valuable to us and ensures that we keep improving and bettering our service towards our guests. We hope that despite your comments, you could still enjoy Fushifaru and have a relaxing time in paradise. As you said, we offered you a service recovery to our stunning sandbank, it is one of Fushifaru’s main attractions and one of the most amazing experiences in The Maldives, so we hope you could enjoy this. Regarding your comments about the hot water, our Jacuzzis are designed to be filled with a mixture of both hot and cold water. Concerning the minibar which has a chilled temperature like any fridge, it clearly does not serve the purpose of being a freezer, hence why it did not accommodate the frozen meats you brought along with you. Regarding your comments about medicine, we have a clinic with storage facilities as well as an in-house doctor. On top of that, we also offered you an immediate upgrade to a Water Villa, which you refused. This was to compensate for the AC issues you faced. We would like to point out that it was brought to you attention that cooking in your Villa was strictly forbidden, yet we noticed that you cooked rice and curry in your room throughout your stay. Cooking in the Villas is prohibited as it can result in a fire incident that may cause severe damage to the property. Finally, it was unfortunate that you used unethical words towards certain of our Residents during your stay. Once again, thank you for taking the time out of your day to write, as only with your feedback can we continue to improve. Best regards,

This was my second time in the Maldives. I didn't know that my first trip could've been any better, but Fushifaru managed to raise the bar in every aspect. I'm a beach snob; I need crystal clear calm waters and Fushifaru has amazing areas to swim in waters that are so perfectly clear that it's hard to think that you're at the beach and not in in a swimming pool. Overwater villas 301 to 305 have the best swimming areas because it's always shallow, even in high tide. Their system of assigning you a host works great; we were lucky enough to be assigned Diksha, who was always a text message away to assist you with anything you need. All the staff is absolutely wonderful; the smiles are plentiful and they all seem to always know who you are. The dining options are exquisite. Our group only dined at the Korakali buffet. It might be buffet but everything about it was top notch. I'm absolutely appalled that some people complained about the food in their reviews. The food was delicious, plentiful, and varied. We were traveling with somebody that has multiple food allergies; on the first night, the chef came out and made sure he knew all about the allergies so that our friend had plenty of options to choose from. The live stations were fun and delicious, and the presentation of the food items was beautiful. One thing that I very much appreciated was the tiny portions of the desserts; because they were so small, you could try a few different ones, or more than one for the ones that you loved! Big thank you to Hakee for making our meals so enjoyable. I would recommend this resort for honeymooners and couples. Unfortunately, while we were there, there were two or three families with very irresponsible parents who neglected to control their small children. It really is a disappointment to be trying to have a relaxing evening at the pool bar with two or three kids running around screaming. I also almost got knocked over twice by one of those kids while carrying a plate of food at the restaurant. I looked at the parents straight in the eye while that happened and they did absolutely nothing. Well, not blaming Fushifaru for this at all, but if you have kids, PLEASE consider a Disney cruise or something similar, instead of ruining other people's special moments.

With the Half Board (HB) package, soft drinks and juices are typically not included during breakfast and dinner in the buffet restaurant. However, Fushifaru bottle water, tea, and coffee are provided as part of the package. Complimentary Fushifaru bottle water is available for all meal plans.
Hi, Tomas,
last year, the Fushifaru team organized a boat trip for my daughters and they swimmed and dived with sharks. It was awesome experience.
Regards
Ladislav
I am sorry my children are grown. I would say I did not see much for children to do. We saw 3 children and 2 were babies. The one boy with his mom went snorkeling. I was not aware they had a kids club. I wish I could be of more help. Good luck

We did half board, but if I had the choice again, I’d upgrade to all inclusive. We ate relatively early in the morning, but breakfast does go until 10. However, dinner starts at 7, so it’s a long time between those 2 meals. We ended up eating lunch and/or snacks from the bar during the day, which are quite expensive and probably added up to the same amount if we had done the all inclusive. Plus, you also get an afternoon tea and snack with that.
"Come between October and March between end and start of the next year, for good and accommodating warm weather to experience the beauty of the white sandy beaches."
