Faarufushi Holidays from NZ$3,164

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Fushifaru in the Maldives, and it was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and exceptional hospitality. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect, always attentive (Chelsea and Iqbal come to mind!) and genuinely friendly. The overwater villa we stayed in was breathtaking—spacious, beautifully designed, and offering stunning views of the turquoise ocean. Waking up to the sound of gentle waves and having direct access to the water for a morning swim was an unforgettable experience. The resort’s dining options were phenomenal, offering a great mix of international and Maldivian cuisine. Every meal was a delight, with fresh seafood, exquisite flavors, and impeccable presentation. Special mention to Chef Rishad for making our destination dining experience extra special. The activities were equally amazing! From snorkeling among vibrant coral reefs to a relaxing sunset cruise, there was never a dull moment. The spa was also a highlight—soothing treatments in an overwater setting made for the ultimate relaxation. Overall, Fushifaru exceeded all expectations and provided an unforgettable escape to paradise. If you’re looking for a luxurious and tranquil getaway in the Maldives, this is the place to be.

This place is a perfect, quiet piece of paradise. Expertly staffed and as exquisitely barefoot chic as anyone could hope for.

Hands down the best customer service I’ve ever experienced! Every single staff member was incredibly friendly, professional, and welcoming — I truly felt like part of the resort family. What impressed me most is their commitment: if anything isn’t up to your expectations, just mention it and they’ll fix it immediately and go above and beyond to make it even better. An unforgettable, unmatched experience from start to finish! — Ahmad & Nour Ataya

The most perfect place in the world. Look no where else, the rooms are amazing, the house reef can be accessed from your room, and the food is outstanding! And the staff is wonderful, too. We have been 4 times and will definitely be going for Number 5.
