Your veranda does feature a robust fence that prevents you from falling into the water from a height, while not detracting from the spectacular view.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However, having said that, <strong>water villas probably aren&#8217;t conducive for families holidaying in the Maldives<\/strong>. So I&#8217;d recommend opting for a beach villa if you are travelling with younger children.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In addition, it pays to remember that the deck is wooden and open to the elements. This means it can become slippery when wet. But as long as you take care walking on the deck when wet, you&#8217;ll have an amazing trip.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Water-Villa.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Water-Villa.jpg\" alt=\"View of a Furaveri water villa from the ocean\" class=\"wp-image-29551\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Water-Villa.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Water-Villa-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Water-Villa-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Water villas do feature a fence but probably aren&#8217;t suitable for young children<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_You_Walk_Straight_Into_The_Ocean\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #fd6b2b;\">Can You Walk Straight Into The Ocean?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You absolutely can walk straight into the ocean from your balcony. Most water villas in the Maldives feature staircases at the side of your relaxing veranda which offers <strong>exclusive access to the lagoon below<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In fact, one of the best things to do in the Maldives is to take a dip below the surface and check out the plethora of marine life flitting around the shallows. Except now all those incredible sights are waiting at the bottom of your exterior staircase.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However, to call back to that earlier point, just be careful going down the wooden steps to the lagoon. Because these are naturally wet, they can get slippery.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/water-hammock.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/water-hammock.jpg\" alt=\"A hammock resting just above the water in the Maldives\" class=\"wp-image-29568\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/water-hammock.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/water-hammock-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/water-hammock-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Get within touching distance of the wet stuff<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_You_Have_To_Get_In_The_Water_To_See_The_Fish\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #fd6b2b;\">Do You Have To Get In The Water To See The Fish?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The great thing about booking a stay in a Maldivian water villa is that you can spot the sea life from the comfort of your balcony.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine sitting out on your decking, enjoying a good book or just watching the world go by and you can see tropical fish and baby sharks swimming around your villa.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If swimming isn&#8217;t your jam, or you just prefer the comforts of dry land, you don&#8217;t have to miss out on the majesty of what lies beneath the surface.

If you have an image in your mind of white sand and clear warm blue sea then you won&#8217;t know the difference between your imagination and reality.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, you have the ability to craft the perfect type of Maldives holiday for you here. If you don\u2019t feel like walking around the resort, there are golf buggies available with several stops dotted around the island for you to jump on and off.<\/p>\n<p>There are also a number of free water sports included as part of the standard all-inclusive package such as kayaking, snorkelling, and windsurfing. I\u2019d recommend snorkelling as you can have a 30-minute lesson during your stay if you\u2019re new to it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After you&#8217;ve spent your days chilling, snorkelling or swimming you can enjoy entertainment every evening. Including a Maldivian night with local dancers and music which was great fun.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-effect=\"slide\"><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container swiper-container\"><ul class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_swiper-wrapper swiper-wrapper\"><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" alt=\"Furaveri beach\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-29561\" data-id=\"29561\" src=\"https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/main-beach.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/main-beach.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/main-beach-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/main-beach-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/main-beach-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_caption gallery-caption\">Stunning Furaveri beach<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" alt=\"Swing bench just off the beach\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-29560\" data-id=\"29560\" src=\"https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/swing-seat-beach.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/swing-seat-beach.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/swing-seat-beach-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/swing-seat-beach-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/swing-seat-beach-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_caption gallery-caption\">Grab some time in the shade on a romantic swing bench<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" alt=\"welcome jetty\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-29562\" data-id=\"29562\" src=\"https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/jetty-1.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/jetty-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/jetty-1-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/jetty-1-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_caption gallery-caption\">Go for a walk out to the beautiful welcome jetty<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" alt=\"Sunset over the water villas\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-29559\" data-id=\"29559\" src=\"https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/jetty-sunset.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/jetty-sunset.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/jetty-sunset-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/jetty-sunset-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_caption gallery-caption\">Sunset over the water villas<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-prev swiper-button-prev swiper-button-white\" role=\"button\"><\/a><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-next swiper-button-next swiper-button-white\" role=\"button\"><\/a><a aria-label=\"Pause Slideshow\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-pause\" role=\"button\"><\/a><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_pagination swiper-pagination swiper-pagination-white\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_The_Restaurants_Like\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #fd6b2b;\">What Are The Restaurants Like?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The 3 restaurants at Furaveri Island Resort are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Jaafaiy: Main buffet restaurant&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Raiyvilla: Asian fusion and teppanyaki restaurant<\/li>\n<li>Amigos: Explore tastes of Mexico from your seat in the Maldives&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now, you might think that the main restaurant is just another average all-inclusive buffet.
