Sirru Fen Fushi is a private hideaway, with a huge house reef, a spa and many restaurants, whose deluxe villas come with their own private pool. Take an exhilarating 55-minute seaplane ride to reach the luxury resort, which boasts its own huge lagoon and 9km reef that is directly accessible from the white sand beach. Providing a conscious castaway, the island is home to the Sustainability Lab, a hub of eco-education where guests can create bespoke souvenirs and unique items from plastic washed ashore and collected from the surrounding ocean. For an adventure under the waves, accompany the resort’s resident marine biologist on a tour of the Coralarium, the Maldives’ first and only coral regeneration project in the form of an underwater art gallery, home to reef fish, including the famous ‘Finding Nemo’ clown fish, triggerfish, green turtles and eagle rays. Choose an over water villa, beach villa or a unique safari-style jungle villa, each with a Personal Villa Host and a private pool. They’re all decorated in a chic Maldivian style and have en-suite and/or al fresco private bathrooms, Bose or Bang & Olufsen hi-fi systems, a dining area and separate living spaces.
Making full use of its prime beach location, Sirru Fen Fushi offers free non-motorised water sports and a sunset dolphin tour on the hotel’s private yacht. You can spend time at the Coralarium, a coral regeneration project in the form of an underwater art gallery, the Sustainability Lab, or the Spa, which provides massages and body treatments. Families are especially well catered for, too, with a toddler’s play garden, a kids’ club and a ‘teen town’. Children can also make friends at the 200m infinity pool.
