Huvafen Fushi has one of the Maldives' first underwater spas and a wine room 8 metres below the surface. The resort is compact, fast from the airport, and built around an overwater pavilion layout that feels like a private residence on the water rather than a hotel room. The house reef is among the best in North Male.
