<strong>Maldives</strong> Sirru<br />

Fen Fushi<br />

With a name that translates as ‘secret<br />

water island’, this gem of a holiday spot is<br />

concealed within a 600-hectare lagoon in<br />

the Shaviyani Atoll, a 55-minute seaplane<br />

ride from Malé. Let your cares melt away<br />

at the sight of the sun-kissed ocean<br />

that surrounds this all-villa resort – for a<br />

taste of adventure, opt for the castaway<br />

style Tented Jungle Villa. Renowned for<br />

its culinary flair, foodies can dine at four<br />

destinations, including seafood market<br />

Azure and bamboo bar Onu Onu. Not<br />

the sun lounger type? Try Thai boxing,<br />

pummel out the jet lag at Willow Stream<br />

Spa, embark on a desert island picnic for<br />

two, or meet the locals on a cultural tour.<br />

WE LOVE<br />

Take a 50-metre snorkel swim to view<br />

The Coralarium, a semi-submerged<br />

tidal art installation sea-scaped<br />

with underwater trees and endemic<br />

planted corals.<br />

MEMORY MAKER<br />

Get some laps under your belt with a<br />

swim in the 200-metre pool that bisects<br />

the island; the longest in the <strong>Maldives</strong>.<br />

“It's the kind of place<br />

where cares melt away”<br />
