Dip your toes in the warm, ridiculously clear lagoon, dine in incredible locations, snorkel one of the Maldives best house reefs and flop out on your own private stretch of powdery-sand perfection. And just when you think it can't possibly get any better, you'll stumble upon the world's first underwater spa.

Huvafen Fushi is a beautifully appointed resort hotel in the North Malé Atoll of the Maldives - a tropical island paradise. Every now and then, there comes a hotel that sets its sights on pushing back the boundaries of luxury. Positioned on the edge of its own lagoon on the North Malé Atoll, the newly opened Huvafen Fushi resort does exactly that. It defies the standard. ??Huvafen Fushi brings its visitors to the island either by speedboat or seaplane. You must then choose one of 43 land-based or over-water bungalows. Each one is decorated combining a minimalist contemporary design with Maldivian style; and each comes with its own pool or fresh water plunge pool, plasma screen TV and Bose Surround Sound system. Taking in views of the dazzling Indian Ocean, both above and below the waterline, it is the first hotel in the world to boast an underwater spa.
