Amanda G.

We spent our honeymoon at Huvafen Fushi at the end of November and beginning of December. From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless, they picked us up directly from the airport and transferred us to the resort by boat. The resort is truly incredible. We stayed in an ocean villa, which was stunning in every way. Our takuru, Sidu, was exceptional and always one step ahead, often anticipating our needs before we even asked. One morning my husband had an allergic reaction, and the response was immediate. He was taken to the resort clinic and within an hour he was already feeling much better, which gave us great peace of mind. The food across all restaurants was excellent. We also enjoyed 2 special dining experiences: one on the rock and one inside the wine cellar, and I highly recommend both. The settings, the atmosphere, and the attention to detail made them unforgettable. The massages were outstanding as well, truly some of the best we’ve ever had. Everything comes at a very high price, but since it was our honeymoon, we decided to fully enjoy the experience without holding back. The resort is extremely quiet and peaceful, so it’s not ideal if you’re looking for nightlife or a lively atmosphere. Overall, it was a magical place to celebrate such a special moment, and we will always look back on it with incredible memories.

We choosed Huvafen Fushi for our Honeymoon. We stayed for 5nights at ocean bangalow. The room was clean and the view was beautiful too. If you go for snoorkeling from your room you can see a lot of fish, corals and sharks too. If you stay in this resort I would recommend to exprience the underwater spa. It was once in a lifetime exprience. Our butler Nadi take care of all the reservations. The food was great too. Our plans was half board, the restaurant Celsius was great. Everyday we had breakfast and dinner but we never get bored of food choice. The food was great and all the staff was really hard working too. We would like to say speacial thanks to Shanim, Claire, Sadhin, Jana, Adam, Kavidu, Chental for making our exprience speacial. If you are planning to stay in Maldives I really reccomend this resort.

We stayed at Huvafen Fushi for our honeymoon, spending a full week in an ocean bungalow, and it completely exceeded every expectation. The setting is absolutely stunning, and the service somehow manages to be even better. The staff truly makes the experience. Our butler Saif was incredibly kind and attentive, and every waiter was patient and happy to answer my many questions as a first-time visitor to the Maldives. You always feel genuinely cared for. The food was excellent, especially breakfast at Celsius. Both the buffet and à la carte options were highlights, and the pastas at Celsius for dinner were outstanding. It makes sense once you learn the head chef is Italian, though everything we ate across the resort was great! The snorkeling was amazing and effortless, with easy access to the house reef and so many fish right outside our villa. Sharks are apparently harmless, but seeing so many under the SALT restaurant was still a little intense! We also loved the watersport options and did the turtle safari, jet skiing, night snorkeling, knee boarding, windsurfing. The only thing I would’ve not done is night snorkeling as it was just at the house reef and we didn’t see too much at night. Turtle safari was really cool though and my favorite excursion! The resort is incredibly relaxing and secluded, easily the most peaceful vacation we’ve ever had. Housekeeping was flawless with twice-daily service, and the pool staff brings water and checks on you almost immediately. We also loved how quick and easy the boat ride from the airport was. We booked using Hilton points, which made this unforgettable honeymoon even more worthwhile. Cozy, private, and truly special. Huvafen Fushi has set the bar very high.
