Introducing OBLU XPERIENCE Ailafushi
Stay
Only a year old, the 4-star property boasts 268 rooms and villas across four categories, ranging from duplex-style ocean-view rooms and beach villas to ocean-view family two-bedrooms and water villas. Designed specially to experience nature at its best are the water villas constructed like dhonis (traditional Maldivian boats) and lined up along the jetty at the northern end of the island, while on the western side of the island are beach villas offering direct beach access and surreal sunset views.
Dine
The resort’s all-inclusive Fushi Plan blends the stay with all-day dining and unlimited beverages at the restaurants. Additionally, the minibar too is restocked daily with beers, carbonated beverages, and mineral water; there’s free access to the Kids Club; daily entertainment and activities; and complimentary airport pick-up and drop services.
However, what truly makes this resort unique is La Promenade, a chic spot complete with a wine boutique, souvenir shop, and café.
At the heart of the dining scene at Ailafushi is their all-day dining restaurant, Element X; the bohemian X360 Pool Bar; and Copper Pot Truck, a food truck serving the choicest seafood and grilled meat on the beach. Ailafushi guests also have access to Only BLU; the largest under ocean restaurant in the Maldives. While here, one can enjoy masterfully crafted fine-dining food, while being surrounded by exotic views of the marine life.
Experience
The resort also has provisions for activities such as football and beach volleyball, complimentary 15-minute, non-motorised watersports daily, along with live band performances every night that allow families and friends to live plenty of memorable, carefree moments together.
