That is a proper Maldives holiday without the five-figure price tag and without a single seaplane. Here is exactly what the package covers, what costs extra, and why it works so well for UK travellers.

What the All-Inclusive Fushi Plan Covers
The all-inclusive plan at Oblu Xperience Ailafushi is called the Fushi Plan, and it covers all three meals a day plus unlimited drinks from morning until late. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served buffet-style at Element X, where the show kitchens run live stations with Western, Asian and South Asian dishes, salads, a carvery and a dessert counter. Halal, vegetarian and gluten-free options are always on hand.
Drinks pour freely too. Soft drinks, juices, tea and coffee, house wine, beer and a range of spirits are all included, both at Element X and at the X360 pool bar, which comes alive with a daily DJ and live bands most evenings. Your stay also includes 15 minutes of non-motorised watersports a day, use of the over-water gym and both pools, plus daily yoga, aqua fitness, pool volleyball, bartending classes and karaoke.
Insider tip: The Fushi Plan does not include snacks between the set meal times, and it stops at 11:00 on your departure day, an hour before the noon check-out. Time your buffet visits and grab a coffee at X360 to bridge the gap.
Activities & Water Sports at Oblu Xperience Ailafushi
Activities and water sports at Oblu Xperience Ailafushi run from gentle to energetic, and a good chunk of them are already covered by your Fushi Plan. You get 15 minutes of non-motorised water sports every day, so kayaks, paddleboards and windsurfers cost you nothing, alongside the striking over-water gym and full run of both pools.
The daily programme keeps things ticking over from morning to night. Expect yoga, Pilates, aqua fitness, pool volleyball, bartending classes, karaoke and cultural evenings, plus a poolside DJ and live bands at X360 most nights. There is also an indoor games room with pool tables and live sport on the TVs, and a giant chessboard outside for a friendly challenge.
A few things sit outside the all-inclusive plan and are worth budgeting for:
- Snorkelling trips: There is no house reef on the island itself, so the best marine life is on boat excursions, for a two-hour trip. Special nurse shark and manta snorkels are available at a higher rate.
- Diving: The on-site PADI dive school runs guided dives, plus boat and gear fees, ideal whether you are certified or learning.
- Motorised water sports: Jet skis and towed rides are on offer for an extra fee at the water sports centre.
- Spa: The ELE NA spa offers Maldivian and international treatments.
- Snorkel gear: Mask and fin rental if you would rather not pack your own.
Insider tip: Because there is no reef right off the beach, book at least one snorkelling or diving excursion during your 10 nights to see the turtles, reef sharks and rays the Maldives is known for. Pack reef shoes and factor 50 sun cream.
You can also explore the best things to do in the Maldives, including snorkelling, diving, cruises and watersports.
Why Oblu Xperience Ailafushi Works for UK Travellers
Oblu Xperience Ailafushi is one of the best value all-inclusive resorts in the Maldives, and a few things make it especially easy for anyone flying from the UK.
- No seaplane: Ailafushi Island is a 15-minute speedboat from Velana International Airport, so you skip the pricey seaplane and the daylight-only wait. Direct flights from London to Malé take around 10 to 11 hours.
- Real value: Opened in 2022, the resort holds 4.6 out of 5 on Google and 9 out of 10 on Booking.com across thousands of reviews, yet sits near the bottom of the Maldives price range.
- Financial cover: Booking through GenZ Travel means the whole holiday is ATOL and ABTA protected, the safety net UK travellers should always look for.
- For everyone: Couples get quiet beaches and an over-ocean gym, while families enjoy one of the largest kids’ clubs in the Maldives. Note that overwater villas are not available to children under 12.
October is shoulder season, with warm water near 28°C and long sunny spells broken only by the odd short shower, which is why these dates come in at such good value. If you want to weigh up other islands first, browse our Maldives holidays for UK travellers collection.
