As the love of experiential travel continues to evolve, luxury travellers are in pursuit of adventures that allow them to traverse the world in style. One such offering is Fairmont Maldives, Sirru Fen Fushi’s new beachside tented villa. Offering a unique alternative from the typical beach or overwater villas travellers have come to expect in the Maldives, the hotel’s safari-style tent has been designed by South African luxury tent specialists, Bushtec Safari. Set on its own stretch of beach, the aesthetic of the tent reflects its surrounding terrain with wooden frames, amber-toned interiors and walls swathed in white canvas.
The spacious villa has a primary suite, an ensuite bathroom and a separate children’s bedroom for families. The villa comes with bicycles to get around the island and a telescope to stargaze at night. As the archipelago’s most luxurious glamping experience, guests can call upon an onsite island mixologist to craft cocktails at the private bar or a personal BBQ chef as well as a yoga instructor for a private session on the deck. In unison with the new villa the property has launched a Conscious Castaway package which highlights the resort’s innovative sustainability initiatives, from the Coralarium to the Sustainability Lab, encouraging guests to learn about marine conservation and the importance of leaving a positive impact on their destination. www.fairmont.com
