Male’, Maldives, 10th April 2024 – Sirru Fen Fushi, a private island located in the remote Shaviyani Atoll of the Maldives, is set to operate independently as a luxury resort following six successful years with Fairmont Hotels and Resorts. Starting May 1st, the resort will transition to its new identity, Sirru Fen Fushi – Private Lagoon Resort, and will join the esteemed portfolio of Leading Hotels of the World.
Amidst this exciting transition, the resort remains steadfast in its commitment to providing personalized experiences and intuitive service, all while maintaining a deep respect for sustainability and the pristine island environment. Distinguished by its unique design and character, Sirru Fen Fushi offers more than the typical Maldivian escape. With the largest natural resort lagoon in the archipelago, world-class facilities including the Maldives’ longest infinity pool, and a remote positioning that ensures minimal overlooking, the resort promises an unparalleled experience for guests.
Translated as “secret water island” in the local language, Sirru Fen Fushi is home to a breathtaking 9km coral house reef teeming with native marine life. The resort is also renowned for the Coralarium, the Maldives’ first and only coral regeneration project, presented as a semi-submerged art installation. On land, guests can choose from luxury villas nestled along the beachfront or within the jungle, while overwater villas offer direct access to the lagoon, with interiors echoing the natural beauty of the island’s beaches.
At the heart of the island lies the Maldives’ longest infinity pool, accompanied by a serene spa and a selection of gastronomic restaurants. Dining options range from sustainably caught seafood at Azure to Japanese cuisine at Kata. Personalized experiences abound, from beachfront yoga and an art studio to a creative Kids’ Club and snorkeling expeditions on the house reef. The Sustainability Lab offers guests the opportunity to turn waste into wonder, providing bespoke souvenirs and useful recycled materials for local communities and schools.
With its transition to an independent luxury resort and its inclusion in the Leading Hotels of the World portfolio, Sirru Fen Fushi – Private Lagoon Resort is poised to continue delivering exceptional experiences while upholding its commitment to sustainability and the preservation of the Maldives’ natural wonders.
