Maldives
Set within its own lagoon, Huvafen Fushi by Per AQUUM is a naturalist's wonderland, where the landscape above and below the waterline is an attraction in itself. Huvafen Fushi is dedicated to delivering an experience beyond each guest's wildest dreams, whilst maintaining sustainable and sensitive development of the natural resources of the island, country and local people. Kick off your shoes and make yourself at home in this little piece of paradise.
In addition to your bungalow, you may also pre-book a 65-foot dhoni sailboat, kitted out with state-of-the-art facilities and luxury amenities. Allow yourself to be transported to another world as you overnight onboard and explore further afield. Even more luxurious is the 68-foot vessel Sensuelle, featuring a private Jacuzzi, spa room and spacious chill-out deck - one of the most romantic voyages you'll ever make. Take time out to visit LIME, the world's first underwater spa. Experience the anti-ageing and healing properties of sustainably-sourced coconut oil, as you watch a vibrant cast of fish float by. And if that inspires you, spend some time with the Marine Biologist helping to monitor the house reef. Enjoy an evening in the wine cellar surrounded by over 6,000 bottles. Dine with the Island Chief as the sommelier takes you on a journey of all things Vinum.

The best time to travel to the Maldives is during our winter months when the humidity is lower and the temperature more comfortable. However, the monsoon season of May to September should not be discounted for travel as the resorts have fantastic offers on accommodation. The heavier showers tend to occur in the mornings or the late afternoons; a perfect time to visit the spa.
