Soneva Fushi

There's something very special about Soneva Fushi. The island lives by the mantra 'Intelligent Luxury', and this is more than a nebulous marketing strapline. Founders Sonu & Eva were years ahead of their time in bringing serious luxury with a strong environmental conscience to the Maldives. Many seek to imitate and champion their 'green' credentials, but in reality none come close.

Unsurprisingly, Soneva is very popular with those seeking to escape the public eye, and from the moment you are relieved of your shoes (to be returned on departure!) by your genial Barefoot Guardian, you can start to seriously unwind. If cost is not your primary consideration and 'bling' doesn't impress, then Soneva Fushi combines the best the Maldives can offer with superb layout, considerate design and indulgent yet homely hospitality. If you want to decouple from the stresses of a hectic life, if you want ultimate privacy yet the conveniences of a resort, in highly sophisticated yet natural surroundings, then Soneva Fushi may well be the resort for you.

This is one of the finest resorts in the Maldives with prices to match. If we win the lottery, this is where you'll find us (although we'd probably split the stay with Soneva Jani)!
