Prepare for an extraordinary celestial journey as Sirru Fen Fushi – Private Lagoon, a proud member of the Leading Hotels of the World, welcomes former NASA Astronaut and US Navy Captain Dominic “Tony” Antonelli. Set against the pristine backdrop of our private Shaviyani Atoll lagoon, this exclusive collaboration invites you to transcend the horizon. Guests will have the rare opportunity to engage with a veteran of two Space Shuttle missions, discovering the wonders of the cosmos through the eyes of someone who has truly lived among the stars. It is a week dedicated to exploration, luxury, and the infinite beauty of the Maldivian night sky.
Begin your journey at the water’s edge with an elegant Meet & Greet. As the Maldivian sun dips below the horizon, enjoy curated cocktails and canapés at Onu Onu Beach. This intimate hour offers a relaxed setting to exchange stories with Captain Antonelli, bridging the gap between ocean and orbit.

Gather under the palms for a family-friendly evening chronicling the rigors and rewards of spaceflight. From the thunderous launch of the Space Shuttle to the silence of the International Space Station, Antonelli shares firsthand accounts and breathtaking visuals, followed by a live Q&A session that will inspire explorers of all ages.

Experience the universe like never before during a private stargazing session. Guided by Antonelli’s expert perspective, you will navigate the constellations in one of the world’s premier dark-sky environments. This immersive experience offers a profound connection to the cosmos, far removed from the reach of terrestrial light pollution.
