Fuvafen Island is so beautiful, the sea water is as pure as a fairy tale world, and there are different views whether it is sunrise or sunset. You must stay in a water house with a good environment and a separate swimming pool. You can swim in the sea by walking down the stairs. There are very beautiful fish underwater. The three meals on the island are all great, and the service attitude is really good. I still have to go there once if I have the chance.

Because the schedule was tight, I only stayed for one or two days. I will definitely stay longer next time if I have the chance. It was really fun. The yacht to the island was very high-end. There was a fragrant smell in the room. The food on the island is very expensive.

In fact, this is the lowest price in the off-season, and it is often impossible to book a room at this price. Although the hotel room rate is not cheap, the source of customers is still enthusiastic, "I am not afraid of high prices, I am only afraid of poor quality", staying here for a night is really a good experience!

Contrary to popular belief, we weren't greeted by a line of unsuspecting locals upon arrival. Instead, a woman, supposedly from Yunnan, offered us chilled towels, water, and pure coconut ice cream—apparently made entirely from natural coconuts, and incredibly delicious. A large bird stood facing the sea. The island felt peaceful, simple, and natural; we didn't dare disturb it at all. Compared to the hustle and bustle of Beijing, this was paradise. The beautiful, pristine white sand beach was unlike any artificial beach found on newer islands. Countless fish, including manta rays and small sharks, could be seen beneath the pier.

This island is very cost-effective among the many islands in Maldives. It is highly recommended if you come here for the first time. The price is all-inclusive. You can experience the characteristic water house and beach house at the same time. There is unlimited drinking of various beverages. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all self-service. I thought the food would be uncomfortable, but it was actually delicious.

The company's group travel recommended an all-inclusive island. To be honest, the cost-effectiveness is very high. Adults and children are very satisfied. The island is very close to Male Airport and it takes about 15 minutes to get to the island. The recreational facilities are all available. The restaurant is large and the food is very complete. The staff on the island are very nice and friendly. If it is a family or a group, it is especially recommended to come here. The cost-effectiveness is still OK

For most people this will be their first or last stop in The Maldives, as it is the island on which the airport is located.It is newly reclaimed land and being designed as a kind of "back-up" capital city in case neighboring Male succumbs to rising sea levels. As such, it is a bit of construction site as new hotels, apartments etc are going up all over the place.An okay beach for a quick dip, but gets a bit of floating trash.In any case, it is okay stopover for a night after arriving or before leaving the country.

Vabbinfaru Island is not far from Male and can be reached by speedboat. It is a hotel under the Banyan Tree. The SPA on the island is very good, the beach is very white and flawless, the sea view is also OK, and snorkeling can be done in Ihuru next door, which is very good and worth recommending.
