Outrigger Maldives Maafushivaru Resort (Maafushivaru, Maldives)

Situated on an idyllic tropical island, and bathed by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, Maafushivaru Maldives Resort offers guests the ability to make their most extravagant tropical island dreams a reality. There are bungalows on both the island itself, and dramatically perched over the water as well. Each features air conditioning, minnibar, iPod dock, in room safe, tea/coffee station. All have gorgeous views, and the over-water bungalows also have decks with direct water access. The central feature is perhaps the dramatic infinity pool, seemingly a mere extension of the ocean. Reception is open 24 hors and can arrange a whole host of waterports activities, including terrific diving. There are many dining and drinking options available, from 135 East Japanese Restaurant to private dining in an exquisite and romantic setting on the beach. The nearest island is about 20 minutes away by boat; otherwise it is quite remote, and a great spot for diving and other watersports.
