Lohifushi Maldives
ResortThe vibrant resort of Lohifushi Maldives is also known by its new name of Huduranfushi. The island was recently refurbished and the new name Huduranfushi means Island of White Gold. We'll use both names for this resort. Huduranfushi is rated 4 stars and can be found in the North Malé atoll. It takes about 30 minutes by speedboat from Malé International Airport and you’ll be met by stunning lagoons washing gently over coral shelves and teeming with vividly coloured fish.

The usual suspects in the form of the laundry service and express photo service: souvenir shop, gem and jewellery shop. There’s a baby sitting service that may well come in useful too (remember to check details like this for price and times).

Even after this there’s still plenty to keep you occupied from tennis to chess, darts to beach volleyball, badminton and billiards… Plus there’s a gym too!

The Dive School is well equipped and as with all the Maldives island resorts, provides a top notch service and all you’ll need to pass your PADI or simply hire equipment and get out to the coral filled depths of the Indian Ocean. There are 40 different dive sites so pack your underwater camera for some great pictures.
Lohifushi Maldives (Huduranfushi) SpecialitiesLohi break has hosted international surfing competitions and has its own bar and viewing point. Not that we want to harp on about it, but it’s worth noting that Lohifushi Maldives has a great left-hander which folds around the south east corner. And yes, you have access to this quality left-hander within paddling distance as well as use of the resort boats for transfers to the outer reefs, like the Chickens and the Sultans…just what the doctor ordered! And if surfing is not your thing, you can always dive as the house reef is said to be superb.
Hmm… Anything else catch your eye?Bicycles are available so check hire charges. You may though prefer a languid walk and if it’s the middle of the day, take your umbrella for shade from the sun. We’ve not seen anyone else do it on our trips to the Maldives but we almost always take our room umbrella with us if we’re spending the day in the sun. It always provides perfect shade when you need it most. Just unfurl it over your towel, fish out your book and I-pod… mmm… couldn’t ask for anything more... perfect!
