bite travel T he beautiful island of the Maldives, a ‘secret water island’ dubbed by the locals as one that ‘glistens like a pearl’ boasts one of the country’s largest re- sort lagoon, Fairmont Maldives Sirru Fen Fushi - the ideal personal hideaway. Located on the Shaviyani Atoll, it has poster white sand beaches fringed with swaying palms, kissed by the turquoise waters of this 600-hectare lagoon that gives way to the tranquil blues of the Indian Ocean and a never-ending horizon. Surrounded by opulent Beach Villas, decadent Over Water Villas, and the unique luxury Tented Jungle Villas, Fair- mont Maldives Sirru Fen Fushi is a fantasy island come true. Here, you can explore a range of unrivalled experi- ences such as sailing away to a nearby deserted island for a romantic picnic for two, joining a sunset dolphin cruise aboard your own private yacht, or experiencing a wide ar- ray of exhilarating water sports. There is also snorkelling out to the open waters to encounter the fascinating marine life. The resort is home to the longest infinity pool on the island that leads to the Coralarium, the island’s first and only cor- al regeneration project with an underwater art installation by British eco-artist Jason deCaires Taylor. Guests will be actively encouraged to participate in regenerating the coral reef and improving sea life as part of the project. Visitors will be led through the living installation by the resort’s resident marine biologist before planting their own coral as part of their efforts to reinvigorate local sea life. www.fairmont.com/maldives Fairmont Maldives Sirru Fen Fushi – Purpose Led Travel Images courtesy of Fox Communications
