LOCATION
| Travelling
to the Maldives has always been a dream of mine; my partner
was never interested in going on holiday to the Maldives, he
always said he would be bored and lying on the beach was not
something he could ever see himself doing. After four years
of persistent pestering I manage to persuade my partner to book
the holiday, we travelled to the Maldives for the first time
in august 2001. We stayed at the Maldives Island Lohifushi Island
Resort which was renamed in November 2006 to Hudhuranfushi under
new ownership of the company named Adaaran. We flow to the Maldives
Islands with Monarch airlines, on approaching the Maldives the
pilot banked the plan left and for the first time I had a glimpse
of the islands. Wow, it was like a cluster of gems dropped into
the Indian Ocean, the turquoise colours were breath taking and
every one on the plane went silent with the amazing views.
Hudhuranfushi
means "Island of White Gold" it
is one of the largest of the Maldives Islands with fantastic
soft white sand's, surrounded by the warm crystal clear waters
of the Indian Ocean. This making Hudhuranfushi or any of the
Maldives Islands a favourite to sun seeking worshippers and
for those who love to explore under the water. The Island
is covered with a lush green landscape which is well looked
after night and day, ideal for walking and taking in the wildlife.
One
of the many things I love about Hudhuranfushi is the ability
to walk anywhere you want to on the island, what I mean is
on some of the Maldives islands we have visited you have to
stick to a path i.e. a walkway. With Hudhuranfushi you get
the real Robinson Crusoe feeling that you are in paradise,
not the commercial driven effect that some of the other Maldives
islands will give you. We have been to Hudhuranfushi three
times and people we have met who have also been to other islands
in the Maldives have also found this same situation and this
is why they also are frequent visitors of Hudhuranfushi.
What's
new at Hudhuranfushi?
The
new owners of Hudhuranfushi have made some great changes to
the Maldives Island, not only have they completely refurbished
the beach villas, they also have:

a new Hudhuranfushi wind surfing school on the Island Resort
- Built
a new Hudhuranfushi Spa at the Maldives Island Resort
- Painted

| Hudhuranfushi offers a choice of three restaurants
and three bars:
The Banyan restaurant is the main restaurant on the Maldives
Island Hudhuranfushi's where you can have Breakfast, Lunch
and Serving buffet style with themed meals in the evening,
Maldives & international.
The Italian restaurant on Hudhuranfushi's serves Lunch or
Evening meals (I have never used this restaurant so really
can not comment).
The
Sunset restaurant serves tea/coffee, cakes, sandwiches and
other snacks in the afternoon. Only serving la carte dishes
in the evening, Maldives style food & international.
With prior booking on Hudhuranfushi you can have a romantic
candle light meal for two with your own waiter on the beach
adjacent to your room (This is popular with newly weds).
Hudhuranfushi's Sunset bar is attached to
the Sunset restaurant with a large decked area which is on
stilts over the water giving a view of the Maldives marine
life. At night Hudhuranfushi's sunset bar decking is light
with spot light around the base of the decking. This aloes
you to watch the Maldives marine life at night, you can get
some great views of the black tip reef sharks (the sharks
are harmless, more scared of us).
The Beach Bar is on the North side of Hudhuranfushi
offering bottled water, soft drinks and canned beer. This
bar is only open between 10.00 and 17.00
The Surf Bar is on the South side of Hudhuranfushi
with great view of the surfers surfing the breaks.

We
believe that Hudhuranfushi's entertainment is able to cater
for everyone. Hudhuranfushi's entertainment dose varies each
night from;
- Local
live bands.
You can get up and have good dance, or you can sit back
and enjoy
- Traditional
shows
This is a way for you to boggy the Maldives way.
- Fire
dancing
- Crab
racing
This is a good night for a laugh (a must see).
- Karaoke
- Magic
show
Beach
parties/Disco
This is possible my most favourite of all, Hudhuranfushi has
two small man made Islands which can be seen from Hudhuranfushi's
Sunset bar (they are about 50meters from the sunset bar).
The little Islands were made due to the boats used to travel
to and from Hudhuranfushi were having trouble moving around
the sand banks along side the jetty in low tied. They came
up with the idea to use the materials to make Fun-Fushi and
a smaller island around 15meters from Fun-Fushi. Having done
this it has created the ideal surroundings for the Maldives
marine life (A good spot for snorkelling).
Fun-Fushi is used for hosting some of the beach parties and
discos until early hours if you are up to it. This is good,
as some people like to have a quite drink and relax on the
main part of Hudhuranfushi before bed time. When we had visited
the Maldives Island before they made Fun-Fushi, the discos
were hosted in the bar near the pool and the music did on
very few occasions disturb some guest in the rooms closest.
You have also the opportunity to book a romantic meal on the
island which is usually available once a week. All on all
they have really looked at the finer touches and used the
best of there ideas to make Hudhuranfushi a really special
and unique island within the Maldives.
