IT is safe for tourist travelling to Maldives as the resorts and airport are on seperate islands, far from the capital where protests and violence took place last week.
An official from the Maldives High Commission assured that tourists to the holiday paradise would not be affected by the protests and violence going on there.

He said the atmosphere at the resort islands were different from that at the capital due to the geography of the Maldives, which sees a \'one island one resort\' policy under the Maldives government.

\'As the islands and the GMR Ibrahim Nasir International Airport, which is also on a separate island, are away from the capital, we do not foresee any problem spreading out of the capital.\'

He added that the Maldives government\'s statement had been positive so far and the situation had settled down since Thursday.

The Maldives Marketing and Public Relations Corporation (MMPRC), which is under the Maldives\' Tourism Ministry, issued a statement on its website assuring its industry colleagues that no resort or tourist had been affected by the event.

\'Anyone intending to come to the Maldives on vacation can be reassured that their holiday will not be affected in any way.

\'The Maldives is unique for its one island one resort geography and guarantees that no guests would be part of any local political issues,\' it said.

The Maldives Association of Travel Agents and Tour Operators (Matato), the country\'s premier travel and tour association, also assured foreign travellers, visitors, travel agents, tour operators and others that the country was calm after the new government take-over.

\'The geographical isolation of resorts and inhabited islands leaves tourists away from daily activities of local population centres. We would like to assure that the holidays of tourists in Maldives will not be affected in the current scenario,\'

Happy Journey - Welcome to Maldives.]]> Mon, 05 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.mal-dives.com/maldives/news.php?id=429

This refresh programme has been in planning for some time now and is a very delicate undertaking given that we have no wish to change the DNA of the Island that has made it an award winning property.

Given the small size of Huvafen Fushi and after very detailed consideration, it is clear that we could not carry out the refresh renovation works without causing inconvenience to the guest experience. Therefore, the only way we can complete this program is to close the retreat for a short period of time.
We can now confirm that Huvafen Fushi will close from 20 May – 31 July 2012.

From now until 20 May 2012 it is very much business as usual, but we wanted to give you time to plan for the closure, hence this announcement. We are of course delighted that Per AQUUM’s spectacular new resort in the Maldives, NIYAMA, will be open and in full operation and therefore able to cater for
Huvafen Fushi guests through the closure period.

We hope that you share our excitement with the future re-launch of a magnificent upgraded Huvafen Fushi on 1 August 2012.

We very much appreciate your continued fantastic support and please let me know if I can assist with any queries re the above.
