In a beautifully remote part of the distant Raa Atoll in Maldives the striking small coral island of Faarufushi offers the perfect combination of romance, beauty, style and luxury. The resort is just a 50-minute journey by seaplane from Velana International Airport, or a short flight via Ifuru Domestic Airport.

Faarufushi, opened in March 2019, comprises of 80 spacious villas that offer a stunning blend of contemporary design set amidst a naturally stunning seascape. Nestled among the island's lush vegetation are 10 Beach Bungalows and 27 Beach Retreats, whilst 39 elegant Ocean Retreats with Pool are positioned over the island's sparkling azure lagoon. Three Ocean Suites with Pool provide spacious and luxe accommodation, while the unique Island Residence with Pool offers the ultimate sanctuary, complete with an expansive individual infinity pool overlooking at its exclusive stretch of the Indian Ocean.

A range of truly indulgent dining choices will be offered in modern and relaxed surrounds, with panoramic views of the lush island and the sparking sea that surround this coral isle; an emphasis on the highest quality ingredients spans across each of the three restaurants and two bars.

Iru, located next to Sangu Bar, overlooks the main infinity pool of the resort, with sweeping views of the beach and the sea beyond. All-Day Dining spans an expansive Breakfast Buffet alongside traditional European, regional and exotic a la carte breakfast options. Lunch and Dinner choices include light, fresh meals and salads or for something a little more substantial, beautifully spiced curries, freshly cooked fish and meat, seasonal pasta and perfect pizza are just some of the available options. Sangu Bar offers poolside, beachfront and bar service with an array of expertly crafted cocktails and mocktails, alongside imaginative snacks and sweet treats.

The crescent-shaped overwater signature restaurant, Eclipse, offers an immersive gourmet experience with a full panoramic view of the Maldivian seascape. Exciting dishes using the freshest ingredients create a fine-dining experience like no other, demonstrating the creativity of the extraordinary chef Mohamed Adil. Vibrant dishes range from braised Wagyu to grilled Maldivian fish to name but a few.

At the reef's edge is signature bar Boli; alfresco seating ensures a perfect sunset view throughout the year, complemented with the world's finest wines, hand-crafted cocktails and live music.

Athiri's casual beachside bar area brings several island facilities together, including water sports and gym. Athiri's center piece is a dazzling collection of dining options serving hot and cold tapas, teppanyaki & more, all under one roof. The fresh and exciting menu at Athiri has been conceived by top chef Mohamed Adil, displaying his flair for combining vibrant flavors to create exceptional and unusual dishes like Reef Fish Ceviche and Stuffed Calamari.

The Nika Spa nestles within the lush vegetation of the island, with the six sumptuous treatment rooms positioned in the treetops, creating a cocoon of luxury for each treatment. Beginning each spa experience with a soothing foot ritual, along with individual changing rooms for each treatment pod ensure guests can feel fully relaxed going into their treatment; while the beautiful, tropical garden, complete with hydro pool is surrounded by outdoor lounges and relaxation pavilions.

The reef that surrounds Faarufushi boasts a spectacular array of marine life beneath the waves with magnificent coral overhangs and swim throughs, perfect for snorkelers and divers alike. On shore, at sea and underwater, there is always something to see in the Raa Atoll. Activities available include searching for Manta Rays, discovering dolphins, visiting other islands and sailing off into the sunset, plus much more.
