Maldives
Soneva Fushi

Idyllic, environmentally-focused island retreat
Nestled within the lush foliage on Kunfunadhoo Island, within the Baa Atoll Biosphere Reserve, is Soneva Fushi – a true island paradise. This island is reached by a 30-minute scenic flight from Mahe airport or a short speedboat ride from Dharavandhoo airport. This resort takes great pride in protecting its surrounding tropical environment, as well as several steps to maintain the conservation of the flora and fauna of the island, and funds beneficial foundations while implementing an array of sustainability practices.
There are luxurious villas to suit every kind of traveller, from intimate one-bedroom properties with private pools to six-bedroom villas with their own spa and gym. The architecture of the resort is inspired by nature, and the thatched roofs, wooden beams, woven ropes and recycled planks ensure that the villas blend into the surroundings and accentuate the natural beauty of the island.
When it comes to dining, guests at Soneva Fushi are spoiled for choice. Mihiree Maitha offers everything from flakey pastries at breakfast to wonderfully fresh sushi and grilled fish for lunch and dinner. Desserts are a speciality too, with home-made ice cream and sorbet made using fresh fruit from the island. For a truly unique dining experience, you can choose to dine at Sobah, a traditional Maldivian restaurant located on an uninhabited island 15 minutes away by speedboat.
Of course, there are ample opportunities to enjoy fresh seafood on the beach or relax with a cocktail on a hammock suspended over the Indian Ocean. Rather than just ordering your favourite tipple at the bar, you can descend into the resort’s incredible wine cellar, a veritable Aladdin’s cave of rare champagnes, vintage cognac and organic wines.
How you choose to spend your time is entirely up to you. Relax on the pristine white-sand beaches, snorkel or dive through crystal clear waters, hop between the islands by boat, relax at the spa or enjoy a cooking class where you’ll learn how to use the incredible array of fruits, fish and spices on your doorstep. Soneva Fushi also has an outdoor cinema and an observatory with a state-of-the-art telescope, which allows you to marvel at the star-studded night sky.
