Huvandhumaafushi is the classic Maldivian deal. We're talking ice-white sands, turquoise seas and crowds of palm trees. You know, one of those places you sit and stare at dreamily in magazines.



Lying in the north Gaafu Alifu atoll, the first thing you'll probably wonder as you arrive by speedboat is, where's the hotel? It's actually hidden behind a thick screen of greenery, so when you're on the beach you get the real castaway deal. But when you're not stretched out on your own stellar slice, it's a luxurious haven. With just 50 bungalows peppered among the palms, you'll certainly feel secluded here. Built in a Maldivian style, it's impossible not to feel relaxed in these spacious bedrooms. Chic white sofas and sun bleached walls lend a minimalist tone. While the wooden floors and vaulted ceilings keep things traditional. What's more, they all have outdoor baths in private gardens and many open straight out onto the shores.



The hotel also has plenty in the way of facilities. Cue a sophisticated restaurant with gourmet meals on the menu. A spa wellness centre where you can treat yourself to an indulgent list of beauty therapies. And a restful lagoon-style pool for sand-free swimming and sunbathing. You'll also find two laid-back bars where you can unwind day and night. It's not all about lazing around here, though. If you want to keep on the go, there's a fully-equipped gym and sports like tennis and volleyball. And with the Indian Ocean just footsteps away, it'd be criminal not to view its full potential. A five-star PADI diving centre takes care of any scuba diving plans here. And if you don't choose to get technical, just don a snorkel and reveal the reef: it's one of the best around. You can also take your pick from kayaking, surfing and catamaran sailing – so being bored just isn't an option.



With all this, plus friendly staff that can't do enough for you – there really isn't a better place to be marooned.
