Young, old; family, friends; romantic and tranquil or excitement; Hudhuranfushi has something for everyone. A simple, no frills but comfortable and traditional resort; it’s great value for money which makes it perfect for budget conscious travellers. The best bit, however, is the surfing – one of the few islands in the Maldives where you can. The lagoon is huge and offers all the snorkelling you could wish for. The name translates as ‘Island of White Gold’ and never was a holiday destination better named.
