House reef
Our rating
3/5
Fine
Fish and big animals are the strength here, with mantas, reef sharks, turtles and rays all reported from the reef, and free gear from the dive club. Access is the problem and it is a real one. There are only two entry points and they sit close together, so guests describe a hard swim back against the current, and some villas have poor water access altogether. The common beach by the main pool is the easiest way in and the one to aim for. The coral itself is described as bleached, and dead at the entry. Swimming is not allowed after six.

Land at Velana after 15:30 and the last seaplane of the day will have gone, which means a night in Malé before you reach the island.
A seaplane in daylight only. Check-in at Velana closes at 15:30, so land later and you spend a night near Malé first. The other way in is a domestic flight to Dharavandhoo and a 45-minute speedboat.

About the resort
Furaveri Maldives is a seaplane resort in Raa Atoll, and on four nights or more the return seaplane is inside every price on this page. Three-night stays are priced with the seaplane at a reduced fare.
It is a long, green island with beach villas, pool villas and a string of villas over the lagoon, eight categories in all. It suits couples and families alike: up to two children under fifteen eat free on the plan you book, and the kids' club takes ages 4 to 14, free on the premium all inclusive plan.
The food is the draw for many Indian guests. Besides the main buffet there are four restaurants you can dine at on the top plan, including Ocean Spice, which is Indian and vegetarian.
What you pay
Every price is for two adults sharing, with green tax and every Maldivian tax included. Pick bed and breakfast, half board or premium all inclusive, and stay three, four, five or seven nights. These prices are for Indian passport holders.
Four nights is the sweet spot: because the seaplane becomes free, four nights in a Garden Villa comes to less than three, whichever plan you choose. Premium all inclusive adds the same amount per person per night in every villa, and it is the plan most of the extras below hang on.
What's included, and what isn't
In the price: your villa, breakfast daily, the return seaplane on four nights or more, green tax and every Maldivian tax.
Half board adds a buffet dinner at Jaafaiy.
Premium all inclusive adds lunch and dinner at the buffet or at Raiyvilla, Amigos, Ocean Spice or Aqua, drinks by the glass from 10:00 to midnight, a daily minibar, a bottle of wine in the villa each day on request, a spa credit of US$30 a person, and a sunset cruise or island-hopping trip for two. Snorkel gear, kayaks, paddleboards, Wi-Fi, the gym, tennis and yoga come with it too.
Not in the price: your international flights, travel insurance, Indian TCS, Olives & Vines and Teppan De Oishi, diving, jet skis and other motorised sports, the glass kayak, spa treatments beyond the credit, and anything not named above.
Who this isn't for
Keen snorkellers choosing a resort for its reef. Fish and big animals are good, but there are only two ways in, the current can make the swim back hard work, and much of the coral near the entry is bleached.
Anyone landing at Velana in the evening. The seaplane flies in daylight only, so a late arrival means a night near Malé first.
Families wanting an overwater villa without paperwork. Parents sign a safety form for anyone under eighteen staying over the water.
Before you book
Seaplane check-in at Velana closes at 15:30, and the flight home serves international departures from 09:00. If your flight leaves earlier, you leave the island the day before. Luggage is limited to 20 kg checked and 5 kg in the cabin per person. A domestic flight to Dharavandhoo, about 40 minutes, then a 45-minute speedboat, is the other way in, priced on request.
Every villa sleeps three adults, or two adults and two children. Honeymooners staying four nights or more get a candlelit dinner, a short couple's massage on arrival, cake and sparkling wine. Check-in is from 2pm and check-out at noon. The festive period is not priced on this page.
