For all those carefree days lounging poolside and basking in the breeze, we recommend a good book and a curated playlist. The Maldives sun is strong, so a hat, sunglasses and high-SPF sunscreen are essential.
At our dining venues in the evenings, you are best served wearing smart casual attire. Due to the region’s environment, suitable footwear is also recommended.

In respect of guests’ privacy, drones are strictly prohibited for use in any area of the resort.
Guests are asked to refrain from smoking in the bungalows, bars, restaurants and other facilities. Ashtrays are provided in outdoor spaces and on the bungalow terraces.
Huvafen Fushi strives to reduce its environmental footprint through ethically-oriented practices. This includes a reef-restoration project with the marine biology team at OCEANPEDIA. Methods like frames, ropes, lines and nubbins (a single coral fragment) are used to boost the health of the house reef and propagate further growth.
Water is desalinated, treated and bottled in reusable glass bottles. No plastic bottles are imported, and paper straws have long-since replaced plastic. Green refuse such as fallen palm fronds and dead leaves are composed and used to nourish the island’s lush vegetation. Gardens are irrigated with the island’s treated water, and solar power is harnessed to provide hot water in guest rooms. All waste is managed, segregated and recycled where possible.
Huvafen Fushi supports local communities by sourcing products from local island suppliers wherever possible – including seafood and fresh produce. Younger community members are invited to participate in the Dream Journey apprenticeship programme, providing hands-on work experience in various departments throughout the resort to build their knowledge of the hospitality industry and support their studies.
The official languages in the Maldives are Dhivehi and English. Multi-lingual staff are available at the resort. To enquire about languages spoken at Huvafen Fushi, please contact our Dream Maker Concierge.
Guests are encouraged to travel with a comprehensive travel insurance policy to guard against unexpected situations that could happen at any time, wherever they are in the world. Absolute peace of mind.
