Huvafen Fushi, one of the Maldives’ most iconic properties, it about to give children their marching orders.
We’ve all been there; the sun is shining, the water is inviting, and true mental and physical relaxation seems tantalisingly within reach. Then the scene is shattered by the shrill screaming of children. They may be yours, they may be someone else’s, but in the end, it’s still the same brutal, endless assault on your senses.
For your next tropical escape, you might fancy going somewhere where children are neither seen nor heard. Huvafen Fushi, a decade-old celebrity-encrusted island resort in the heart of the Indian Ocean, is waiting for you with a fresh new look and a new emphasis on a child-free existence.

As part of a resort-wide spruce up, Huvafen’s 44 enrapturing villas – each with private pool – have been elevated, with elegantly refreshed interiors and new furnishings in the living areas, while newly renovated bathrooms are complemented by exquisite Bottega Veneta amenities. For the ultimate escape, the Grand Beach Pavilion, known on the island as The PLayPen, weaves fluid New York loft-style living with a nostalgic neo-Parisian penchant for vintage pieces and an eclectic collection of handpicked furniture, all for just US$21,000 per night.
The resort’s legendary Huvafen Spa has also been transformed and resculpted. Above the lagoon, a new air-conditioned reception pavilion ushers guests to renewed overwater treatment rooms, while the new RAW café specializes in ‘Revitalising Additive Wellness’ cuisine. Below the waves, in Pearl, the world’s first underwater treatment area, guests can shake off the rigours of secondhand parenthood with massages by Beata Aleksandrowicz treatments by renowned facialist to the stars Teresa Tarmey.
