Discover a sustainable lagoon resort in the Maldives

Located on the Shaviyani Atoll, Sirru Fen Fushi Private Lagoon Resort is home to 120 luxury villas in one of the Maldives’ largest lagoons.
Stretching from one side of the island to the other, the iconic infinity pool, one of the longest pools in the Maldives, leads to the Coralarium, world’s first semi-submerged art gallery — an underwater installation by artist Jason deCaires Taylor promoting awareness on sustainability, marine life, and climate preservation.
