Furi Beach is located in Faafu within Nilandhoo, which makes it not only easily accessible, but even popular among tourists. However, during the high season it is quite uncrowded, which allows you to spend a comfortable time on the coast.

What to do in Furi Beach? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

The deeper you dive, the more interesting the surrounding scenery - that's how you can characterize Furi Beach, but that doesn't mean that landscapes are uninteresting and it's better to spend all your time underwater. The fact is that one of the key activities on the beach is diving. Here you can scuba dive not only as a professional, but also a beginner, as there are several companies along the coast engaged in diving and diver training. Take advantage.

When it comes to what to do in Furi Beach, it's impossible not to mention an insanely popular activity: snorkeling. The coastal waters of the region are full of interesting views, which can be observed through a snorkeling mask. Well, if you do not have the necessary equipment for snorkeling - everything can be purchased at the nearby shops.

Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Furi Beach welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.

There is no particular indicator for the extremity of any particular activity, but if there were, then sea kayaking is definitely at the bottom of the scale. If you are a fan of this kind of entertainment, you can do your favorite activity at Furi Beach. See what our users think about it in the reviews section. In addition to water activities, sometimes you wish to play on the ground, for example, volleyball (football). On this beach there is a volleyball (football) area and if you want you can play volleyball with other holidaymakers or with your friends.

In most cases, the question What to do on Furi Beach implies the presence of any excursions or attractions near the beach. Of course in this area there are lots of places to go besides the beach. There are historical, entertainment and even gastronomic tours offered by local guides. More information is better to clarify directly on the spot.

I've stayed at a few resorts in the Maldives, and this one definitely topped the list of my best experiences. The staff at this beach resort were the friendliest I've ever encountered. Every time we walked through the door, they greeted us with a smile and asked how our stay was going. The outdoor lounge area was also really cool. In the evenings, there was live music and a great view of the Red Sea. If you enjoy smoking shisha, you can do that too. The resort premises were beautiful, with a fantastic pool area and a private beach. One of the things I loved the most was the location and the lush green surroundings. The resort was impeccably clean, and if you're into watersports, the staff there are really helpful. Oh, and they even have a talking parrot at the water sports center, which was pretty cool. I also want to give a big thank you to the spa center. The staff there were incredibly professional and friendly. I want to give a special shoutout to Ms. Anna, Ms. Alina, Mr. Jayanath (J), and Water sports Nick. They were amazing staff members who made my stay even more enjoyable.

This place is absolutely incredible! We had such a great time here and can't wait to come back. We booked through BA and opted for the all-inclusive à la carte option, which was fantastic. We were able to dine in all the restaurants, and we highly recommend them. We brought our 22-month-old with us, and it was perfect. The beach villa with a pool was stunning. The staff were incredibly attentive and kind, especially with our little boy. Unfortunately, our son got an infection, but the doctor was amazing and had all the necessary medications to help him. It truly feels like paradise here, and we were initially worried that we might get bored, but that's definitely not the case. This place is absolutely amazing.

What can I say about this place? The Maldives were absolutely amazing, all thanks to Angsana Velavaru. The team gave us a warm welcome, and the food was superbly delicious. The ambiance was excellent, and the seafood was absolutely delicious. The bar served the best cocktails I've ever had, and having a private pool in the villas was truly out of this world. Thanks to Angsana, I fell in love with the Maldives. I want to express my gratitude for their warm hospitality. Everything about this place is excellent.

This is the perfect place for those seeking rest and relaxation. I had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that I had a pleasant and hassle-free experience. The views during sunrise and sunset were absolutely breathtaking. If you want to see more pictures from my stay, they can be found on my public Facebook account. There are so many incredible people working here that made a personal impact on me, and I can't possibly mention all of their names. I highly recommend this place. However, there are a few things that people should be aware of: 1. The two best 5-star restaurants are not included in the all-inclusive package that you can book online. I discovered that the resort offers upgraded all-inclusive packages that do include these restaurants. I strongly suggest considering an upgrade, as dining at these two restaurants is definitely worth it. 2. Many of the interesting activities are not included and come at an additional cost, which I found to be quite expensive. 3. Unlike other resorts, the sea-plane transfers are not included in the package here. I wasn't aware of this until I arrived and was informed about it. In fact, the cost of the plane transfer was higher than my ticket from Abu Dhabi to Male. Just thought I'd mention it, but it doesn't reflect negatively on the resort.
