Constance Moofushi is a five-star plus, all-inclusive island resort in the South Ari Atoll of the Maldives, one of the most celebrated diving regions in the world. The island sits on the migration route of manta rays, ringed by turquoise lagoons and coral gardens, and its 110 thatched villas are spread along soft white sand and out over the water. Floors of sand in the restaurant and bars set the barefoot tone, and the generous all-inclusive plan takes care of almost everything else.

Choose a Water Villa on stilts above the lagoon with steps down into the sea, a Sand Villa raised where the beach meets the water, a Beach Villa tucked into the gardens a few steps from the shore, or one of the spacious Senior Water and Senior Sand Villas with an outdoor bathtub facing the ocean. Days are made for the house reef just off the beach, dhoni trips in search of mantas, whale sharks and nurse sharks, and treatments in the overwater Constance Spa. Evenings bring a different themed buffet each night at Manta, chargrilled seafood on the sand at Alizée, sundowners at Totem Bar and cocktails and music at Manta Bar. The seaplane flight from Malé takes about 35 minutes.
Overall, Constance Moofushi suits couples, honeymooners, divers and snorkellers who want a natural, barefoot island with exceptional marine life, warm and personal service and the ease of one inclusive price.
Moofushi is a natural honeymoon island, with overwater villas, sunsets from your own deck and dinners on the sand. Couples can add a couple's massage at the overwater spa, breakfast in the lagoon, a sunset dhoni cruise with sparkling wine, a moonlit four-course dinner with a private butler, or a film for two under the stars at Cinefushi. Honeymooners on the resort's honeymoon offer receive fruit and sparkling wine on arrival, a gift in the villa and a saving on selected spa treatments.
Constance Moofushi is a relaxed, child-friendly island without a dedicated kids club. Children's dishes are available in every restaurant, babysitting can be arranged at a charge, and a PlayStation is available for children on request. Every villa sleeps two adults plus a sofa bed for a child under 13; the Senior villas have a sofa bed that opens into a double.
Constance Spa stands on a wooden jetty over the lagoon, with six single and two double treatment rooms, a shaded relaxation area, a yoga pavilion and a fitness room. Treatments draw on aromatic natural ingredients inspired by plants from the Indian Ocean, from signature massages and facials to couples' rituals.
The house reef and Blue Tribe, a PADI 5 Star dive centre with 32 dive sites within half an hour, make this a diver's island. Kayaks, pedal boats, windsurfing, snorkelling gear, the gym, daily wellness sessions, beach volleyball, giant chess and evening entertainment are part of the stay, with dhoni excursions, fishing trips, whale shark and nurse shark snorkelling and sandbank picnics also available.

Sister resort Constance Halaveli in North Ari Atoll is about 30 minutes away by speedboat.
