Huvafen Fushi (or ‘Dream Island’) has also been designed for those seeking the very best. The flagship of Per Aquum Resorts • Spas • Residences and sister resort to Dhoni Mighili, it combines cutting-edge design with standard-setting facilities that include private pools in all grades of accommodation, as well as the world’s first underwater spa.

It is set in its own lagoon in North Malé Atoll, its 43 ‘naturally modern’ bungalows cleverly fusing contemporary design with traditional Maldivian charm. Ranked amongst the largest rooms in the Maldives and set either on the sands or stilted over the water, each one boasts its own freshwater plunge or infinity-edge swimming pool, as well as modern comforts like Frette linens, Espresso machines, plasma TV screens and Bose Surround-Sound systems with DVD players. The in-room iPods are fully loaded with 8,000 songs.

If you like the idea of being right on the sands there’s the Beach Bungalows, the more spacious Deluxe Beach Bungalows or the two-bedroom Beach Pavilion with its own private beach and infinity pool. Over the water there’s the split-level decked Lagoon Bungalows with their spectacular panoramic views or the slightly larger Ocean Bungalows which are positioned right on the reef and ideal for snorkelling off your deck. A further 100-metres out in the water lie two open-plan Ocean Pavilions which come complete with fibre-optic-lit infinity pools, oversized Jacuzzis and dedicated attendants happy to do your bidding 24-hours a day.

Fresh produce is flown in daily from around the world, the master chef and his team creating eclectic dishes served in a variety of enticing venues ranging from beachside to overwater. Enjoy the international favourites of luxe-butlaid- back Celsius, the spa cuisine of minimalist Raw and the seafood dishes of over-water Salt, before treating yourself
to a designer cocktail at UMbar right on the water’s edge.

Leisure facilities focus upon relaxation and self-indulgence, the non-motorised water sports, infinity-edge swimming pool, yoga pavilion and salt water flotation pool complemented by an over-water gymnasium and PADI certified scuba-diving school. Totally irresistible, however, are the rejuvenating applications of the Lime Spa, an holistic haven with six over-water and two underwater treatment rooms. Pure bliss!
