Stay at Soneva Fushi

Soneva are the pioneers of intelligent luxury in the Maldives; nowhere else evokes the Robinson Crusoe style better than this exemplary resort. The resort is set on the privately owned tropical island of Kunfunadhoo in Baa Atoll. It can be reached by a scenic 30-minute sea plane flight from Male.

Apart from the crystal clear waters, white beaches and tropical climate, the island unusually rich vegetation offers a unique natural experience. The very spacious and stylish villas are built from wood and palm thatch, beautifully furnished with natural materials yet containing every conceivable luxury and they are nestled on the palm-fringed beaches that lead to the azure lagoon contained within a coral reef.

The service is faultless and the food divine, although it is the sense of privacy that comes from having only 57 villas on an island a mile long that continues to make Soneva Fushi one of our favourites.

Central to the property is the spa experience. The Soneva

Fushi Spa has a large reflecting pond and waterfalls which calmly set the tone for soul therapy. Guests may choose from a refreshing menu of holistic and traditional treatments conducted by highly skilled therapists using all natural products. Spa programmes are complimented by a complete gym, beach side treatment villas and a Yoga Pavilion for wellness therapies such as yoga and Tai Chi.

Not content to rest on its laurels, Soneva Fushi has introduced innovations such as an organic tree top restaurant, private spa suites, an open air cinema and a champagne bar to keep their unique island concept feeling fresh.

There are 57 villas on offer, each one opens onto its very own stretch of white sand beach, and many also include private sea water swimming pools. Each bathroom extends to a private garden, whilst utmost care is given to the environment.

Cheval Blanc was absolutely amazing. That place is off the charts and the rooms are incredible and the style and design are perfect. As a standard room (considering all the rooms in the resort are the same), they will be the best in the world, that I’m sure! The staff are amazing and accommodating, and I couldn’t fault the food – I could go on and on! Thank you so much for all your work organising, genuinely, the most perfect trip.
