Honest review
If the point of the trip is the underwater world, South Ari is the right address: the island is surrounded by excellent dive sites, and this is where whale sharks are often seen. Constance Moofushi stands on a small private island of this atoll and runs on an all-inclusive plan.
A word on the format: all-inclusive here is not about economy but about freedom — a rich buffet, an impressive wine list and a sommelier's advice are already in the rate.
The 110 villas line the western shore: traditional Maldivian style outside, modern interiors inside, with island accents of raw wood, ropes and seashells.
There is plenty to do: snorkelling and diving with instructors from the certified dive centre, water sports, excursions, sports activities and a spa. Honeymooners get a 50% discount on all spa programmes — a weighty argument for planning the honeymoon here.
The island does not fall asleep at once in the evening: music, a dance floor, billiards.
Who it is for: divers, couples and honeymooners who want an eco island where European elegance meets a relaxed island atmosphere.
