A luxurious escape within the endless blue

Soneva Secret is located amid the sparkling waters of the Maldives’ Haa Dhaalu Atoll, where only 14 over-water and island villas promise you your own private island experience.

The latter of these are surrounded by tropical gardens.

Every stay is personalised to ensure an unforgettable escape in nature, enhanced by exemplary service standards from your dedicated team of three – a Barefoot Guardian for 24/7 butler service, an assistant and a dedicated chef. For dining you can explore a world of flavour at your doorstep as culinary teams transform every private villa into a fine-dining destination. Enjoy curated culinary journeys and tasting menus at the castaway dining tower, or indulge in seasonal ingredients from the island’s organic garden at the property’s club house.

There are a plethora of experiences to enjoy during your time here. Swim through the clear waters with manta rays and sea turtles, embark on yacht adventures across the Indian Ocean or admire the stars from the over-water observatory.

Places to combine Soneva Secret with

Rural Rajasthan

Six Senses Fort Barwara
One of Rajasthan’s most glorious architectural wonders is the meticulously restored 14th-century Fort Barwara. What once belonged to a Rajasthani Royal Family has been transformed into a Six Senses sanctuary of well-being. Six Senses Fort Barwara is located a three-hour drive from Jaipur and a 30-minute drive from Ranthambore National Park, where you can go in search of the region’s wild tigers. It houses 48 luxury suites where the essence of royalty has been kept intact. The East Wing overlooks the countryside and the West Wing offers views to Barwara village and beyond. Each accommodation is designed in contemporary Rajasthani style, reinterpreting the fort’s rich history while subtly incorporating state-of-the-art technology. Here, dining is a royal affair. The on-site restaurants combine the best of regional Rajasthani and pan-Indian cuisine with a sprinkling of international influences while embracing the Eat With Six Senses philosophy of local, fresh and seasonal produce. Where possible, they harvest ingredients from the resort’s very own organic gardens and carefully selected farmers from the villages and townships nearby. As the sun begins to set over the Chauth ka Barwara Mandir Temple, come and find the wine sommelier to tour their vintages, or start your evening as you mean to go on with a pre-dinner cocktail at The Viewing Gallery. There is also an immense focus on personalised wellness. The resort is home to a 30,000-square-foot (2,800-square-meter) spa and fitness centre where an extensive menu of Ayurvedic treatments awaits. You can even blend your own skincare products at their Alchemy Bar. Six Senses Barwara is a royal base for exploring Rajasthan’s regional delights. Activities can be customized based on your preferences, whether it’s enjoying a sunset drive through the Rajasthani countryside or discovering the wildlife of nearby Ranthambore National Park. With visits to the temple and guided heritage walks, you will find endless possibilities to immerse in local history and culture.
