Looking for a Swiss Family Robinson-styled escape but without having to sacrifice on the creature comforts? It’s time to go glamping at Fairmont in the Maldives.
So you fancy escaping to paradise with your significantly better half? Sure, there are a host of luxurious resorts to choose from, each with sublime villas perched above some of the world’s most mesmerising waters. However, if this isn’t your first time to the Maldives – or perhaps because it is – you might be in the market for something a little different, and that’s where Fairmont Maldives Sirru Fen Fushi comes in.
This luxurious enclave has just launched its safari safari-style Tented Villas, which combine the best outdoor experience with a location at the heart of the resort. Each Tented Villa features an alfresco living space, an outdoor rain shower, and roll-top tub for those lingering evening soaks under the stars. There’s a California king-sized bed, a private ensuite, a private plunge pool, bespoke wooden furniture, canvas walls, and locally-sourced decor that gives a real sense of place.
You may be content not leaving your little tented retreat. Call the concierge to arrange a pop-up cinema screening under the stars; have the chefs cook up a barbeque to remember; or summon the spa therapists for a private treatment steps from your Villas. Alternatively, set sail for a deserted island for a spot of line fishing or a champagne-laced picnic, to really immerse yourself in the Castaway experience.
Fairmont Maldives Sirru Fen Fushi is located at Shaviyani Atoll, North Maldives. The resort is accessible by domestic flight in 50 minutes from Male International Airport followed by speedboat from Hanimaadhoo Airport to the resort. Alternatively, guests can book a 50-minute scenic seaplane flight directly to the resort.
