Constance Moofushi

Situated in the South Ari Atoll this Maldivian island has no words that can really describe what an incredible place it is. The all-inclusive Constance Moofushi is a 25 minutes Sea Plane flight from the main island of Male and is a true hideaway, surrounded by crystal clear aquamarine waters of the Indian Ocean all of which provides an opulent luxury. It offers an abundance of amenities and facilities including 2 wonderful restaurants, spa, diving centre and amazing staff. There is a spectacular choice of quality wines, amazing selection of foods from all around the world, and an Al a Carte restaurant which provides an intimate setting on the beach. The service was exemplary and the food was first class. During our stay we spoke to some of the chefs about their amazing creations and they even gave us the recipes, so we can now attempt to create them in the UK, although I suspect the high standard will not be easily met. As is the case with the majority of the resorts in the Maldives, only guests and staff are allowed to enter these private islands which make them some of the most exclusive places in the world. As such, the beaches never get over-crowded and you never get disturbed by traders selling knick-knacks. This extreme level of exclusivity means you feel almost as if you have the entire island to yourself at times, as you’ll just meet other guests, such as when you have a drink in one of the bars or when you go for meals. All the villas offer a very rustic feel as they are built out of wicker, bamboo and wood. We stayed in a Water Villa which offered a spectacular view across the lagoon and reef. There are private steps down from each water villa into the shallow lagoon, which provides an easy access into the crystal clear waters where you will almost certainly be able to see native Black-tip Reef Sharks, Titan Trigger Fish, Manta Rays and even Hawksbill Sea Turtles which are all swimming amidst the beautiful coral reefs. If you fancy venturing out further into the ocean then you can book diving excursions at the well-equipped on-site dive centre for a supplement to explore one of the 32 dive sites which are reputed to be some of the best in the world. Finally we have to make a special mention about the incredible staff, Mevin and his whole team undoubtedly help to make Constance Moofushi very special, they are all very friendly, polite and always had the time to chat with us. Nothing was too much trouble and the high standards they have created is first class, all of which helps to make this exclusive resort one of the most stunning places on earth. Read less

We visited Moofushi in June for 12 nights. From the time we landed to leaving we were made to feel truly special. The resort was pure luxury, food in both the buffet restaurant and a la carter were delicious. We stayed in a water villa which was gorgeous, very clean and had everything you could want. The resort includes use of snorkel equipment, kayaks and pedal boats. The dive centre has lots of options for extra trips and scuba lesson, at an extra price but worth a look. We did the Dolphin adventure and local village trips, no dolphins but still a nice boat ride and the local village was very interesting. The resort always has lots going on each day with activities such as cocktail making, wine tastings, evening entertainment and talks about the area. We had our anniversary whilst we were away and made to feel so special. We did the Maldivian Dhoni boat breakfast (at extra cost) which was fantastic! I would definitely recommend doing the Heart of House tour, really interesting to see behind the scenes of how the resort runs. The resort is beautiful, the spa really lovely, had the couples massage which was excellent. Out of everything the best thing that made the whole trip fantastic are the people. The most wonderful, friendly people you will ever meet. Always happy to chat and do anything to make sure you enjoy your time here. We met some truly fantastic people who made our trip of a lifetime even more amazing! Thank you everyone at Moofushi!! Read less

This was our 3rd visit to Maldives, with many to Mauritius and others. One is spoilt for choice in this paradise on earth. Telling, is that this hotel has a lot of repeat, and even regular, customers. We met a few. Most have travelled widely and settled on Moofushi. You will struggle to find a negative review. As an all-inclusive hotel, this is the best offering we have encountered. A spectacular choice of excellent wines. I really liked the salad bar where I could create my own salad from a very good range of ingredients. Also a wonderful selection of cheeses. Fish was fresh and tasty. Everything else was great. The ala-carte restaurant was excellent – a bit more class and art in an intimate setting on the shore. The “barefeet” policy I read about in restaurants conjured up an image in my mind of a camp site. But, in reality, this was casual with style and quality. The room was great. Not so sure about the hanging bamboo “headboards”. We’ll call it art. Spacious, spotless, comfortable, and the minibar well stocked. We chose a beach villa and were very happy with it. We’re done with water villas in general (long hike to anywhere, dicey swimming (tides, currents, corral, slippery), terrace unbearably hot (never see anyone on one), privacy screens restrict view to sea only. Our villa was a short walk to both restaurants, bars, gym. Palm trees offered some respite from heat. Walk straight out onto swimming beach, loungers and lapping shores. Management and staff were excellent. Attentive but not intrusive. This is a slick outfit – Fantastic service at every level. Special mention to Gopal who remembered our names, very well informed sommeliers (Aime, Ghoumi, Nithin are names I remember), Yogi behind the grill, waiter Shareef and others whose names escape me, Fareed, who kept our room spotless without ever being seen, friendly and efficient restaurant staff, hands-on managers Mevin and Manjoola. I would say that this is a resort best suited to adults who are looking for sophisticated chic and understated quality. Read less

We have just returned from Constance Moofushi and this was our third trip to the Island. They continue to deliver a First class experience whilst maintaining the Maldivian feel and the rustic vibe around the Island. Having booked our trip through Angelfish travel who also provide a 5* service, it proved to be the perfect combination ensuring we had a perfect trip. All the team at Moofushi work tirelessly to ensure you have a memorable time, with nothing being to much trouble for you, from making you your own soft drink cordial (as was the case for my wife) to cooking you a custom meal, if there is nothing on offer that you care to try. If you are looking for that special place to go in the Maldives and want an amazing experience, then look no further. Read less

After experiencing great service at Constance Prince Maurice we decided to try Constance Moofushi. From the moment we arrived at arrivals at Male airport we felt we were looked after very well by Constance. They checked in our luggage for the sea plane and then took us to the constance lounge until our sea plan was ready. We arrived at Conatance Moofushi and everyone was very friendly and the resort had a very relaxed atmosphere. I loved the concept of barefoot. We stayed in the beach villa which was stunning. If you are a snorkeller or diver then this resort is paradise for you. The staff were very friendly, one staff member really went above and beyond as my husband has a special diet and Priyantha Don ( pastry chef) really looked out for my husband. He also helped with food my husband could take on the return flight home. Many staff members were also very helpful such as: Ali Resham Rittey Niz Sam Stefano (blue tribe) Isse Gopan Nithin Aime Peldon Renni Debora Sinaz Saif Dhinesh. The resort has 2 restaurants; Manta and Alizee. Manta is the buffet restaurant and Alizee is the A la carte. I have 1 suggestion to maybe have an Al la carte menu at Manta for people to have the option to either choose from buffet or A la carte. Archipel at Conatance Prince Maurice which is the main restaurant have buffet and A la carte option. Apart from that our stay was lovely and service was excellent. I can see why Constance Moofushi have lots of repeat guests. Read less
