Yes, Hudhuranfushi is one of the most family-friendly resorts in the Maldives. The Koamas Kids Club offers supervised activities for ages 4-12, there's a children's pool, and the main restaurant has a dedicated kids' buffet section. Family villas accommodate up to 6 people with separate bedrooms. The large island (83 acres) gives kids space to explore safely. The shallow lagoon is perfect for young swimmers, and many activities like snorkeling and kayaking are suitable for older children. During April to September 2025, one child stays free.
The house reef at Hudhuranfushi is accessible directly from the beach and features a channel that slopes to 35 meters depth. You'll regularly see turtles (quite a few call the reef home), white-tip reef sharks, eagle rays, and large schools of banner fish. The channel location means good water flow bringing nutrients and marine life. Visibility is generally excellent, and the resort offers daily guided snorkeling excursions included in your stay. The best snorkeling is on the eastern side of the island near the dive center.
Standard check-in is 2:00 PM and check-out is 12:00 noon. However, the resort is flexible with flight schedules.

Yes, Hudhuranfushi is unique in growing its own fruits and vegetables on the island. The organic garden produces fresh herbs, vegetables, and tropical fruits used in the restaurants daily. This farm-to-table approach means fresher ingredients and reduces the resort's environmental footprint. You might see papayas, bananas, coconuts, and various vegetables growing around the island. The chefs incorporate these fresh ingredients into daily menus, and the Indian Pavilion particularly benefits from fresh herbs and spices. This sustainable approach is relatively rare among Maldives resorts.
