Constance Moofushi, Maldives, Maldives, Indian Ocean

If you've often wondered where Robinson Crusoe would stay if he ever did 'luxury', your answer is Constance Moofushi Hotel and Resort. Constance Moofushi is a barefoot island where fabulously laid‑back vibes blend perfectly with its idyllic setting.

The island feels wonderfully pristine: the beaches are footprint‑free, the surrounding waters are alive with marine life, and the whole place offers as much seclusion as you could wish for – making it perfect for honeymoons.

As soon as you step off the seaplane you're on 'island time' – literally – as Constance Moofushi has even created its own time zone, an hour ahead of the rest of the Maldives, to ensure the sun sets at the perfect moment every day.

Located in the South Ari Atoll, Constance Moofushi is on the doorstep of a marine mecca that those considering a family holiday in the Maldives will love. The atoll is regularly labelled as one of the world's best dive sites, and the resort is within a 30-minute boat ride of no fewer than 32 dive sites, meaning countless opportunities to spot underwater celebrities like manta rays, whale sharks and turtles. You don't even need to leave your villa for a sprinkle of marine magic, as tropical fish and black-tipped reef sharks treat the stilts of the overwater bungalows as a playground. While there are plenty more things to do, the attention to detail at Constance Moofushi is focused on making your life as easy as possible, so you can carry on enjoying this pristine parcel of paradise. Robinson Crusoe would be proud.
