When travelling to the Maldives there are key experiences not to miss – set within its very own lagoon, Huvafen Fushi is a naturalist’s wonderland where the stunning environment, above and below the waterline, is an attraction in itself.
Per Aquum at Huvafen Fushi offers some of the most memorable experiences luxury holidays have to offer, dip your toes in the warm lagoon, dine in incredible locations, snorkel one of the Maldives best house reefs and flop out on your own private stretch of powdery-sand perfection.

For a limited time only these images, including two special prints of the island will be on display in this unique and exclusive gallery. Rock|stars and city|slickers is the first showing for photographer Paul Reiffer and showcases the need to push boundaries to capture a one-of-a-kind shot.
Photographer, Paul Reiffer comments: “I visit remote, or impossible to reach locations to capture some of the shots being exhibited in pr @ hf, it therefore felt very natural to showcase these images in an equally incredible and remote location. I’ve visited and photographed the Maldives for many years and find it to be one of the most unique places on the globe.”
