Sirru Fen Fushi Private Lagoon Resort
120 private-pool villas. One 600-hectare lagoon. Shaviyani Atoll.
A place to stay on SHAVIYANI
Sirru Fen Fushi sits on a 16-hectare island in Shaviyani Atoll, about 240 km from Malé and reached by seaplane. The 600-hectare private lagoon wraps around 120 villas, each with its own pool and a dedicated villa host. It holds membership in The Leading Hotels of the World collection. The range here is wider than most five-star properties in the Maldives. Guests can choose between beachfront villas, overwater villas above the lagoon, or Safari Tent Villas built beneath banyan trees — a concept that has no direct equivalent elsewhere in the country. The 9-km house reef is home to manta rays and more than 40 resident sea turtles.
Who it's a good fit for
A large-scale private-island resort where every villa comes with a pool and host, the reef is genuinely exceptional, and the dining and activities options run deeper than at most comparable properties.
Best for
- Couples wanting overwater or beachfront seclusion
- Divers and snorkellers targeting Shaviyani Atoll
- Families booking two- or three-bedroom villas
- Travellers drawn to the underwater art installation
Less suited to
- Budget-conscious travellers
- Those wanting a short or simple transfer from Malé
The lagoon and house reef
A 9-km house reef runs around the island, with manta rays and more than 40 resident sea turtles recorded by the resort. The Sub-Oceanic Dive Centre accesses 20 dive sites across the lagoon and wider Shaviyani Atoll, and Freedive Maldives runs freediving certification on-site.
Coralarium: underwater sculpture garden
Artist Jason deCaires Taylor designed the Coralarium — a semi-submerged installation that doubles as a coral-regeneration project. The structure sits in the lagoon and is accessible by snorkel or dive, combining art with active reef restoration.
Villa types and private pools
Every category — beach, overwater, jungle Safari Tent — has a private pool. The Safari Tent Villas sit under banyan trees in a setting rarely found in the Maldives. Overwater options run from 164 m² single-bedroom units to 428 m² two-bedroom villas.
Dining across five venues
Raha Market handles all-day international dining and themed buffet nights. Kata is a Japanese fusion restaurant built overwater with a rooftop terrace. Azure does seafood fine dining with a lagoon-view open kitchen. Spice Box serves Asian street food on Onu Onu Beach.
The 200-metre infinity pool
The resort's main pool stretches 200 metres — long enough that it reads more as a waterway than a conventional hotel pool. It sits alongside the beach and connects to the broader outdoor areas of the island.
Arufen Spa and wellness
Arufen Spa runs treatments alongside yoga, meditation, and sound healing sessions. The fitness centre and tennis court add to the on-property activity mix for guests who want structured exercise alongside reef time.
