Irufushi Resort which was developed by Sun Hotels and Resorts is now taken over by Hilton and has been renamed as Hilton Maldives. Hilton has another resort in Maldives known as the Conrad Maldives. I had been to Irufushi Resort during the pre opening time and had a chance to stay there for 3 days. The resort is excellent, white sand and beautiful beaches. This is a very big island with an area of 52 acres of land and is expected to be a popular destination for Honeymooners.

All the pictures above were taken when I traveled to Irufushi during the pre-opening time. Now I think there could be some changes. The tourism in Maldives is seen to be declining due to the World Economic slowdown. The tourist inflow declined by 14% in February 2009 compared to the tourist inflow. Some resorts have even started taking measures for facing this slowdown.
