A THREE- NIGHT STAY AT FAIRMONT MALDIVES SIRRU FEN FUSHI
Opened in April, the Fairmont Maldives Sirru Fen Fushi is the only resort in the far-flung Shaviyani Atoll, accessible via a 50-minute seaplane flight from Male. The property’s 112 thatch-roofed luxury villas all come with a private pool and bohemian rustic- chic furnishings — think copper bathroom fittings and carved wooden detailing throughout — while guests can take their pick of contemporary dining venues such as the all- day Raha Market; Azure for a fine- dining experience that makes the most of the daily catch; and an overwater Japanese restaurant, sushi bar, and lounge where the food is prepared with a subtle Maldivian twist. Total relaxation awaits at 2,000-square-meter Willow Stream Spa, which utilizes endemic herbs and Indian Ocean– inspired treatments. Just offshore, coral regeneration efforts take the form of a unique underwater installation by naturalist and artist Jason de Caires Taylor, while the nine-kilometer-long house reef features a manta ray cleaning station.
