Iru-Fushi Beach and Spa Resort opens in the Maldives


Sun Hotels & Resorts have announced that their new luxury resort in the Maldives is open for business. A haven of tranquil elegance, Iru Fushi Beach & Spa Resort is located in Noonu Atoll which, as a new atoll for tourism development, is virtually unspoilt, promising virgin landscapes and unexplored waters for guests to enjoy.

The perfect getaway for a honeymoon, family holiday or a scuba-diving experience of a lifetime, the resort is sprawled over 52 acres of stunning powdery white sand beach and abundant tropical vegetation and is accessed by a 45-minute seaplane from Malé airport. It offers 180 rooms, two large swimming pools, a selection of restaurants and bars, wine cellar, cigar lounge, PADI Gold Palm dive centre, spa and gym as well as a dedicated kids' club for the younger members.

The accommodation ranges from Jacuzzi Beach Villas with outdoor bathrooms, sala and an i-spa Jacuzzi bath to luxurious Water Suites with their own private pool and separate living room. All rooms are equipped with a comfortable divan which can double as a third bed – perfect for accompanying children.

While the focus of the resort is on taking it easy, there is plenty to do with two large swimming pools, floodlit tennis courts, badminton, volleyball, gym, a selection of watersports and a kids' club with child minders for younger guests where children can learn to build a traditional Maldivian Dhoni boat or simply play in the miniature village. Off island excursions are also available. The resort houses a PADI Gold Palm Sun International Diving School with an extensive range of PADI courses for beginners through to the more experienced.

Boasting a house reef that is rife with both coral and brightly coloured neon fish, the uncharted waters are a real treat for diving enthusiasts seeking new experiences to discover. For guests striving a little holistic pampering in paradise, the resort’s plush Sun Spa, designed to take the anxieties out of modern day living, is on hand to ease away tensions. 21 spa pavilions have been customised according to the treatment taken, be it aromatherapy or hydrotherapy. It has also developed a pioneering programme - the first Sleep Spa Concept in the Maldives.

Until 31st October, Iru Fushi is offering seven nights’ accommodation in a Jacuzzi Beach Villa on a half-board basis including return transfer by seaplane for US$1580.00 per person. Package prices from a selection of UK tour operators are also available.
