Club Faru

in North Male Atoll , Maldives T rating: 3

Next to private beach
Free city tour of Male capital
Twin centre

Club Faru serves up all the best bits of the Maldives – coconut palms, warm seas and soft sands.

This place is great if you want to escape to the Maldives on something of a budget. It keeps everything simple, leaving you free to completely unwind and soak up the tropical scenery.

First things first, the property is in the North Male Atoll, close to Male. Hop on a speedboat and you’re there in around ten minutes, with a cold fruit cocktail waiting for you in reception.

As for the island, it’s home to a kilometre-long chunk of palms that gives way to sweeps of soft, white sand. Plus, the waters here are pure Maldives – clear, warm and filled with fish.

Talking of the sea, Club Faru runs snorkelling trips to the house reef each day. And there’s a scuba centre offering boat dives if you want to cast your net wider. In terms of other things to do, you’ll also find a spa and a swimming pool framed by wooden sunloungers and cream parasols.

In the food department, everything centres around the main buffet restaurant, where All Inclusive meals are served. Plus, you’ve got the option of a café and two bars. For a laid-back evening, head for the Vilu – it’s by the pool and great for sunset-gazing. Or try the Thundi bar. This place overlooks the lagoon, so you can watch the fish as you sip your drinks.

The accommodation here is on the simple side. Arranged in pretty, two-storey buildings a short walk from the beach, all the rooms are done out with whitewashed walls, cream tiles and blue soft-furnishings. Shaded balconies or terraces, en suite showers and air-conditioning complete the picture.

Your guide to North Male Atoll, Maldives

Sprinkled in the middle of the Indian Ocean, these paradise islands are palm-fringed gems lying in turquoise lagoons of the most incredible blue you’ve ever seen. Entirely circled by two large atolls, the majority of the islands are barely higher than two metres, and from the surface are no more than mounds of pure white sand, covered with dense tropical vegetation interspersed with characteristic, towering coconut palms. Their lagoons are crystal clear, enclosed by coral house reefs teeming with life and exotic corals - in fact the marine life is extraordinary.
The islands’ popularity with scuba divers and snorkellers is legendary and for those who have never dived, this is the perfect opportunity to learn - the waters are warm, the sun always shines and there are plenty of resorts with their own fully-equipped diving schools.
Of the 12,000 islands, about one in ten of them are inhabited and less then half of them have any tourism development; of those that do, there is room for no more than one hotel - in fact the capital, Malé, occupies one island, the airport another! The resort islands are worlds in themselves. Some of the larger ones offer several different restaurants featuring local and continental cuisine along with exotic buffets and barbecues. Since fish and coconuts are the only items that don’t have to be imported, they find their way onto most menus and spinybacked lobster is a particular delicacy.
The Maldives are highly recommended for those who wish to do absolutely nothing and it would be difficult to find a more beautiful place to relax than a typical Maldives beach...peaceful, uncrowded, with pure, soft sand of an almost dazzling whiteness. Needless to say the majority of the more strenuous activities are sea based. Watersports equipment is always available and most resorts offer windsurfing, catamaran sailing, water-skiing and canoeing. You’ll find the nearest thing to sightseeing is a leisurely trip in a local boat known as a dhoni, in search of an even more perfect beach or picnic spot. Clearly the essentials for a Maldives holiday are a good supply of books, a generous supply of sun cream and a burning desire to do as little as possible......
