About Sirru Fen Fushi
Sirru Fen Fushi occupies its own island and private lagoon in Shaviyani Atoll, operating today as a Leading Hotels of the World property rather than under its former Fairmont flag. Eight villa categories range from single-key beach and water villas to tented jungle retreats and a seven-bedroom residence, set around a 9-kilometre house reef, eight dining venues, and the 2,000-square-metre Arufen Spa.
Recommended For
Families
A Kids' Club running ages 4 to 12, free stays and flights for under-12s on longer bookings, and family programming from cooking workshops to tennis — Sirru Fen Fushi is built for a family booking, not just tolerant of one.
Divers and snorkellers
A 9-kilometre house reef, 20-plus dive sites, SSI courses and a resident turtle population make the reef here a reason to choose the resort on its own, before the villas enter the conversation.
Multi-generational groups
The Two/Three Bedroom villas and the combinable seven-bedroom Sirru Residence give a larger party separate rooms behind one address — useful for a family reunion or a joint honeymoon-and-parents trip.

Before you book
How do we get to Sirru Fen Fushi, and how long does the transfer take?
Sirru Fen Fushi sits on its own island and private lagoon in Shaviyani Atoll. The resort's own site references seaplane, domestic flight and speedboat routing only in general terms, without publishing an exact duration or distance from Velana International Airport — IMJ confirms the specific transfer type and timing for your dates directly with the resort before booking.
Is this still the Fairmont Maldives we've heard of?
Not officially — the property has moved away from Fairmont/Accor branding and now operates independently as Sirru Fen Fushi, Private Lagoon Resort, a member of Leading Hotels of the World. The island, villas and dining line-up are unchanged; only the flag has come down.
Does the resort publish fixed meal plans?
No board-basis packages (bed-and-breakfast, half-board and so on) are published on the resort's own site — dining runs à la carte across eight venues, from the all-day Raha Market to in-villa dining available around the clock. IMJ confirms the meal-plan options open for your specific dates when we book.
Is Sirru Fen Fushi good for families?
Yes — children under 12 stay, dine and fly free on a minimum five-night stay, and the Kids' Club runs programming for ages 4 to 12 alongside cooking workshops, an art studio, tennis and badminton. A separate 50-metre serenity pool is kept adults-only for guests travelling without children.
How good is the house reef and diving here?
The house reef runs 9 kilometres around the island's lagoon, with more than 20 dive sites, reef sharks, rays, turtles and a seasonal manta presence. The resort's dive centre runs SSI-certified courses, and around 40 resident sea turtles nest on the island with seasonal hatchling releases.
What water sports are included, and what costs extra?
Kayaking and paddleboarding are complimentary; motorised options run through the resort's Water Sports Centre at extra cost, alongside diving, dolphin safari cruises, sunset cruises and fishing trips. IMJ itemises what's included against what's booked locally before you travel.
