Constance Moofushi - Maldives

Embrace barefoot elegance at the all-inclusive Constance Moofushi. This Maldivian island hideaway is surrounded by the aquamarine waters of the South Ari Atoll, close to some of the world’s most magical dive sites. It boasts a selection of chic villas, along with two fabulous beachside restaurants and bars. You can spend time stretching in the yoga pavilion, cooling down in the ocean view pool or nurturing yourself at the Constance Spa. There’s also a fully equipped gym and a host of non-motorised water activities on the dazzling waters of the Indian Ocean.

The resort is set on the western edge of the South Ari Atoll in the Maldives, encompassed by pristine beaches and a spectacular house reef. Whilst snorkelling in the lovely lagoons, you will likely spot native blacktip reef sharks, manta rays or hawksbill sea turtles among the coral reefs. You can book diving excursions at the on-site dive centre for a supplement to explore one of the 32 dive sites within 30 minutes of the resort. The local culture of Himandoo village is also a short boat ride away. From Malé International Airport, it’s around a 30-minute seaplane transfer to the resort.

Villas are decked out with rustic materials, such as wood, wicker and bamboo. They feature rope, pearl and driftwood accents that reflect the natural beach setting, and all have ecological thatch roofing. In-room entertainment amenities include a Mac mini with free Wi-Fi, and a TV with movies on demand. Beach Villas are situated along the scenic shore with an outdoor furnished terrace and hammock. Water Villas are set along two jetties, with steps down into the shallow lagoon, while the more spacious Senior Water Villas provide additional amenities such as an outdoor, free-standing bathtub and a Nespresso coffee machine. These villas can also accommodate an extra bed for larger groups or families.
