Soneva Fushi Resort in the Maldives, is the original desert island hideaway. The resort that set the tone and the standards for every subsequent resort. A jewel of an island – large by Maldives standards – with perfect beaches, a vibrant reef encircling the island, a colony of nesting turtles and its very own world class observatory.

Located in the Baa Atoll, Maldives’ only UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, Soneva Fushi is blessed with extensive coral reefs and significant biodiversity including large concentrations of whale sharks, manta rays and marine turtles.

Vast, multi-bedroom luxury villas and private residences are hidden among dense foliage within touching distance of a pristine, Biosphere UNESCO protected coral reef.  Intuitive service is provided by Mr./Ms. Friday butlers who know what you want before you want it. 

Every visit makes you feel young again. And children are well looked after too. Cycling round the island, never knowing when you might have to swerve to avoid bunny rabbits or lizard. Watching movies in Cinema Paradiso, counting Saturn’s rings in the Observatory. Deciding between sixty flavours of ice cream. Eleven types of pillow. Five hundred different wines. Three to nine bedroom villas. And nine dining options too. 

If the experiences are magical, the philosophy is simple: No news, no shoes. No pretensions either. Now open, a floating villa concept Soneva in Aqua and a treasure trove children’s Den.

There are few more beautiful locations on earth.

Activities

Breakfast at sunrise on your own private sandbank, spend the rest of the morning practicing yoga among the treetops, your afternoon snorkeling along the house reef with the on-site marine biologist.

As the day winds down, you may like to sip champagne on a sunset cruise and watch dolphins cavort in crystal clear waters, watch stars on the silver screen under the starstruck sky at Cinema Paradiso and learn to find the constellations with an astronomy lesson in the Observatory.
