Club Med Faru

Has anyone been to Club Faru more recently who can tell me a bit about it. I've got a two week trip there with friends in August this year and would love to know more about the island. Do many young single people go there - or is it mainly families and honeymooners?? Is there much to do in the evenings?

Would appreciate any info,

Are you going to the island of Faru itself? Because the Club Med there is closed............

Yes it is the island of Faru itself I'm going to. Is it not Club Med anymore? I'm not sure of all the facts as my friend booked it. Have you been there since it changed ownership? Can you tell me anything about it?

Hi

I think a number of the islands have fairly similar names. CM Faru used to be on an island called Farukulofushi, and was located about 30 mins (slow) boat ride from Male and the airport. I can't remember which atoll it's in, but it's the same atoll as Male.

CM Faru was closed after the tsunami, and never re-opened.

Just a bit further on what maukitten said. The island which Club Med Faru was on has been taken over by another resort operator.

It was brightly lit when we sped past on the way to Kani back in Dec 2005 and was confirmed by the Kani GOs that Faru has been re-opened, but not as Club Med.

At present, Club Med only has one resort in the Maldives i.e., Kani.

Yup. Faru (previously under club med) has been bought over by another resort operator).

Suggest you fire up a search engine to look for reviews of the resort. Unless you're into snorkelling, diving, having a good peaceful rest - there is not much to do in maldives for 2 weeks.
