October, 2017 - Fushifaru Investments Pvt. Ltd. is delighted to announce the opening of its inaugural resort, Fushifaru Maldives as of October 24th, 2017.
The island welcomed its first guests amidst the beating of traditional bodu beru drumming and the blowing of the ‘Sangu’. A significant piece of Maldivian history, the Sangu or Sea Conch, was the way islanders would call to attention an important announcement in a small island community. Every guest arriving at Fushifaru will be welcomed with the blowing of the Sangu for all Residents to take note of guests arriving and to welcome them.
Located on the far North East border of Faadhippolhu Atoll, more popularly known as Lhaviyani Atoll, the name Fushifaru was inspired by, ‘Fushi’ meaning ‘island’ and ‘Faru’ meaning ‘reef’ in the local Dhivehi language. This exquisite little island is the gateway to a legendary landscape positioned between two channels connecting the atoll’s inner lagoon to the vast Indian Ocean. The bigger of the two channels, Fushifaru Kan’du is a national Marine Protected Area and home to three iconic dive sites including the renowned Fushifaru Thila, one of the Maldives most popular dive spots and a marine cleaning station. Only a few metres away is the island’s very own sandbank.
Merging quintessential Maldivian design with modern aesthetics to its 49 beach and water villas; adventurists, conservationists and traditionalists will be spoilt for choice with the resort’s incredible overwater and underwater experiences.
All guest facilities are in operation and guests can wander to Korakali for an international breakfast, lunch or dinner, then on to Raakani Grill for signature Asian recipes with a focus on the finest local seafood and end (or begin!) at Fanihandhi Bar for detoxtails and sunset cocktails.
Heylhi Spa is authentically Maldivian in design with its five treatment rooms and jungle-like lush vegetation. From a state-of-the-art gym and multi-sports court, to paddle boarding, snorkeling, diving and semi-submarine expeditions, activities are endless at Fushifaru.
