This was our third time back – and somehow, each visit just gets better and better. We first came here on our honeymoon, then returned when our daughter was 18 months old, and now again with her at three. We’re already hoping to come back next year with a four-year-old and a new baby in tow – that’s how much this island means to us. Every time we return, it feels like coming home. When people talk about hotels that feel like family, this is what they mean. Everyone remembers you, welcomes you back by name, and makes you feel like you belong. I’m not going to lie – I cry when we leave. We’ve been to a few islands in the Maldives over the years, but nothing compares. This is our favourite by far – relaxed, stylish, and truly special. It’s barefoot luxury at its finest. I love that you don’t need to wear shoes – we follow a strict no shoes, no news rule while we’re here. I even find it hard to adjust to wearing shoes again when we go anywhere else in the world! It’s island-chic without the fuss – you can wear sequins to dinner or throw on a casual dress, and it all just works. Nothing is too formal, which I love. The rooms are stunning – we’ve stayed in three of the four types: sand villas, beach villas and water villas. All are beautiful, but our favourite is definitely the water villa – there’s something magical about waking up over the ocean. That said, the sand villa was amazing with a toddler, with direct access to the beach. Next time, we’re hoping to try the senior water villa! One thing we’ve noticed each year is how much the island continues to improve – from small thoughtful touches to elevated service, it just keeps evolving in the best way. And now to the heart of the place: the people. They are what make Fushi so special. • Indunil is simply the best chef in the world. His food is next level – creative, delicious, unforgettable. We love he and look forward to hearing about his amazing family when we see him! • Daniel, the head chef, runs a seriously tight ship. This isn’t your standard buffet – it’s à la carte-level quality, just presented buffet-style. Every dish is made with love and care. He is the reason there is so many incredible chefs on the island - he is a brilliant leader and they all want to grow under his tutorship! anything is too much for chef Daniel and he accommodated my fussy toddler more than once which was a god send! He loved chatting with Daniel he’s witty and funny • Pryi’s pastries are world class – I blame him entirely for my holiday weight gain! He is beyond kind and was amazing with my daughter who he fondly became known to her as Mr ice cream! • Madu, the head sommelier, is phenomenal – knowledgeable, charming and always spot-on with his recommendations and a brilliant guide through the wine pairings. • Melvin was another highlight – we got to know him a little more on our last trip and absolutely loved doing the wine tasting with him. Such a warm, engaging character • Luthi is a future l
