Huvafen Fushi

High on glamour, but in an effortless, natural sort of way, ‘Huvafen’ is the local word for ‘dream’ and is the Primrose Hill of the Maldives. The other resorts can feel a little Disney World meets Jurassic Park with their zipped up golf carts and man-made ‘jungle’ landscaping. Here the proportions are positively Lillipution, with everything within walkable distance giving Hufaven a lived in and intimate vibe that the other resorts can lack. And it oozes a rock ‘n’ roll atmosphere: guests can kick back on bean bags by the infinity pool lit by fiber optics or shake their thang at occasional parties held by superstar DJ Ravin (Buddha Bar). The shop is the sole stockist in the Maldives for hot label Orlebar Brown – the only swim stuff for boys and girls to be seen in. But best of all are the open air bathrooms where you can wallow in your bath or shower naked (mooning) under the moonshine in the complete privacy of your own little tropical garden with plunge pool. Bliss. Hotels don’t get better than this.
