Huvafen Fushi: Traditional Travelling!

Huvafen Fushi Resort and Spa

Huvafen Fushi, one of the Maldives’ finest island resorts, has launched a new package that will make their guests appreciate the Maldivian culture even more: a ride in their exclusively designed Dhonis! For those who are unfamiliar with the term, a Dhoni is one of the oldest sea vessels in the Maldives. It is a multi-purpose sail boat with lateen sails and it resembles a Dhow, a traditional Arabian sailing vessel. The Huvafen Fushi resort guarantees a one-of-a-kind travel experience!

Huvafen Fushi Dhoni Service

Guests who are staying in one of Huvafen Fushi’s beach-front bungalows will now be given an option to reserve their own Dhoni which offers a 24-hour service. The boat can be booked for one or all of the nights during their stay and it costs an additional $1,821 per night, a very reasonable price. Each 65-feet Dhoni has a friendly crew and private chef on board, ready to give all the guests the experience of a lifetime. The Huvafen Fushi crew is highly skilled in what they do and will make sure that everything is provided, includes a full meal and comfortable bedrooms. The guests will enjoy mouth-watering grilled seafood on a deserted island or an unforgettable cocktail cruise under the stars.

Huvafen Fushi Dhoni Amenities

The interiors of the Huvafen Fushi Dhonis are designed to match the style and quality of the Huvafen Fushi resort. The vessels are handcrafted and equipped with all kinds of luxury amenities, all presented in a distinctly Maldivian style. Each Dhoni has a bedroom with king-sized bed and Frette Linen, as well as a DVD player, Flat-screen television, iPod and a Bose surround sound system. It also has a kitchen with all the necessary utensils and a well-stocked Smeg fridge, a spacious bathroom designed by Philippe Starck and a living room area. What more can you ask for?
