The retreat, in full
OBLU XPERIENCE Ailafushi is an all-inclusive luxury island a short hop from Velana — a fifteen-minute speedboat crossing, with an active house-reef and a family-led register. The cadence is open and lively; the all-inclusive plan — the Fushi Plan — runs broadly across the kitchens and the watersports. "Aila" means family in Dhivehi; "Fushi" means island — the retreat was drawn for the modern traveller, be that family, couple, or friends. Two hundred and sixty-eight villas across four categories, drawn as dhoni shapes on the lagoon arc.
Arrival. 15-minute speedboat from Velana International. We time the transfer to your flight, and confirm it in writing with the rest of the stay.
Worth knowing
- Ailafushi sits a fifteen-minute speedboat from Velana — a useful first or last night for a longer journey.
- The OBLU XPERIENCE register sits below the OBLU SELECT line — lighter on the wallet, the same broad all-inclusive plan.
- Two of the four kitchens (Copper Pot, Only Blu) sit outside the Fushi Plan — worth one or two evenings out of the open week.
- La Promenade at the centre of the island holds the wine shop, the pastry counter, and the Essence O perfumery — the chic register, drawn into the daily walk.

MarineThe busy reef
Fifteen minutes from the runway and the reef still delivers — the easy first snorkel of a first Maldives journey.
ELE | NA Spa Complex
The spa complex holds the island's quiet register against the busy reef and the livelier decks — the menu below is the retreat's own.
Honeymoons, anniversaries, birthdays
The retreat publishes its vow-renewal formats plainly — three packages, from the simple sandbank ceremony to the fuller staging. The easy crossing makes it a natural choice for the occasion that can't spend a day travelling.
