Soneva are the pioneers of ’intelligent luxury’ in the Maldives; nowhere else evokes the Crusoe style better than this exemplary resort. The resort is set on the privately owned tropical island of Kunfunadhoo in Baa Atoll. It can be reached by a scenic 30-minute seaplane flight from Malé.
Apart from the crystal clear waters, white beaches and tropical climate, the island’s unusually rich vegetation offers a unique natural experience. The very spacious and stylish villas are built from wood and palm thatch, beautifully furnished with natural materials yet containing every conceivable luxury and they are nestled on the palm-fringed beaches that lead to the azure lagoon contained within a coral reef.
The service is faultless and the food divine, although it is the sense of privacy that comes from having only 65 villas on an island a mile long that continues to make Soneva Fushi one of our favorites.
Central to the property is the Spa experience. The Soneva Fushi Spa has a large reflecting pond and waterfalls which calmly set the tone for soul therapy. Guests may choose from a refreshing menu of holistic and traditional treatments conducted by highly skilled therapists using all natural products. Spa programs are complimented by a complete gym, beach side treatment villas and a Yoga Pavilion for wellness therapies such as yoga and Tai Chi.
Not content to rest on its laurels, Soneva Fushi has introduced innovations such as an organic tree top restaurant, private spa suites, an open air cinema and the beaituful 'Out of the Blue' overwtaer restaurant to keep their unique island concept feeling fresh.
