Maldives
A small, design-led island, freshly renovated, with the original underwater spa at its heart.
Huvafen Fushi reopened after a thorough renovation and remains one of the more design-conscious islands in the Maldives — sleek, contemporary and intentionally small, with around 44 villas. The scale keeps it personal; you are recognised quickly and left alone otherwise.
Its calling card is the underwater spa, where treatment rooms sit below the lagoon surface. Add a well-regarded wine cellar, a quiet house reef and a polished, low-key mood, and it reads as a grown-up's island rather than a family hub.
