Huvafen Fushi (The Ultimate Luxury Escape).

If you’re looking for a getaway in a world beyond imagination, look no further than the glamorous Maldivian hideaway Huvafen Fushi. Here guests will find a world of timeless luxury, marked by endless seascapes and infinite seduction. This adults-only resort is a secret heaven on North Malé Atoll, just 30 minutes by speedboat from the Malé international airport. At Huvafen Fushi, you’ll drift off to another world with tempting plunge pools, an underwater spa flaunting vivid coral villas and picture-perfect stretches of pristine white sand.

The island includes modern villas with private pools and a famed underwater spa, as well as culinary experiences like modern Japanese cuisine with a Latin twist at Feeling Koi and drinks by mixologists from London’s PURL. Complimenting the established cuisine lineup is alfresco Italian Forno, subterranean wine trove Vinum and relaxed deck dining at Celsius. For those looking to take their Maldives experience one step further, The PlayPen villa is the ultimate indulgence.

An exquisite architectural hymn to pleasure, The PlayPen is a clever model of vintage nostalgia meets modern Parisian living space. Designed for the pleasure of couples, it is an eclectic mix of vintage pieces and glass furniture as well as furry carpets and blankets. Opened on March 20th 2018, the two-storey, 800 sqm PlayPen starts from USD $16,800 per night, breakfast included, for a minimum four-night stay. A popular destination for romantic getaways, The PlayPen is perfect for couples looking for a luxury escape. This breathtaking resort will certainly impress even the pickiest travellers.

Upstairs, an open-plan bedroom/playroom features a centrepiece bed, oversized ocean view jacuzzi bath, steam room and sauna. A panoramic balcony looks over the floodlit black lava-stone infinity pool as the sun sets over the house reef.

A dramatic staircase leads down from the inner Playpen Chamber to the open plan living, lounge and dining areas, with a culinary gallery and cocktail bar for you to indulge. The glamorous Maldivian hideaway includes a Bang & Olufsen sound system and plasma TVs, as well as a bespoke intimate gift box from Maison Mika. You’ll find blissful relaxation out on the private deck- think daybeds, an outdoor shower and upon request, a romantic private 5-course dinner prepared by renown chef set at the pool gardens and the beach.

Those staying in the PlayPen arrive via Huvafen Fushi’s luxury Italian speedboat Veloce. A stay at the PlayPen includes CIP airport lounge arrangements at Velana International Airport for both arrival and departure. Once settled in the private paradise, guests can expect to be pampered 24/7 courtesy of the resort’s signature thakurus.
