SONEVA FUSHI

OVERVIEW

Proudly sitting among the very best, most exclusive five-star Maldives resorts, the irrepressible Soneva Fushi knows no bounds when it comes to individuality, personal touches, outright indulgence and almost impossible good looks.

This private Indian Ocean island hideaway really is as luxurious as it gets, beginning with the phenomenal range of sunrise and sunset villas – 65 of them (all with butler service) spread across a full 28 different categories that range from One-bedroom Beach Villas, to Nine-bedroom Private Reserves.

Almost every villa at Soneva Fushi is therefore different in terms of layout, unique features and setting, with some tucked away from the shore amongst tropical trees, others opening directly onto the waves and a handful of overwater options too; this is the Maldives after all. Style-wise think beach-chic in the extreme, towering thatched roofs, private pools and gardens, waterslides, wooden balconies, luxe daybeds, hammocks slung between palm trees and interior design that emanates a true sense of place.

Then there are the creature comforts: private gyms, steam rooms and saunas; spa suites; al fresco dining areas; observation decks; personalised wine fridges or full wine cellars; kitchens; terraces; sundecks; private kayaks and pontoons among them, depending on which you choose.

It is hard to overstate the standard, attention to detail and level of service throughout your time at Soneva Fushi. From an award-winning (and truly dream-like) Six Senses Spa, to the quite spectacular range of Michelin-standard restaurants, desert island picnics, boat tours, stargazing, cultural experiences, family-fun entertainment, treetop cocktail bars, overwater eateries, gourmet cookery classes – the list simply goes on. No doubt about it, Soneva Fushi Resort more than matches its award-winning, enviable reputation as one of the best, most refined, considered and all-encompassing Indian Ocean Resorts there is, a rare place that excels at every level.
