Medhufushi.

If the scenery is not a killer in itself,
the amount of pampering and hospitality certainly is worth dieing.

Everything is here. Sailing to saunas to spas.

Attention to detail is given priority as well as priority to individual comfort.

From bed linen to bath tub to personal bar: Meticulously chosen, logo-ed and hyped. Hyped to a level that the 5 specialised restaurants and bars are not enough in variety, an additional 24 hour in-villa dining service is offered.

Enough,
to put any Robinson Crusoe to pitiful shame. Bet he never even dreamed of
the floating villa.

The floating villa with amenities and privacy worthy of a glittering queen.
The floating villa with its own private sundeck, from where steps lead down to the calm-warm-inviting-azure-blue sea.

The scenic sea. Aaaah!! Heaven.

Hold. Hold it folks. Friends.
Don't just dial yet.This place doesn’t... exist!

The calm-warm-inviting-azure-blue sea got a tad angry on 26 December.
One day after Christmas, last year, giant waves engulfed large parts of the coastal areas of the Indian Ocean.

This is Medhufushi of Triple A group of hotels, before the tsunami.
The entire island was in wrecks.

Damage to the infrastructure was so bad, the resort had to shut down immediately.

Today, after a long delay, there was an announcement in the papers, for invitation to tenders for the reconstruction of this resort.

Expect 10 to 14 months before your calls can be taken.
