Soneva Fushi - Maldives

The Island

Ramble through nature with discovery excursions on the resort island and neighboring island villages. The Villas are placed so that your very own stretch of white sand beach is just a few steps away. There is dense vegetation in between each villa creating patios and gardens for secluded enjoyment. A favourite pastime is to lie looking out to sea contemplating the beauty of nature. And all the while, soft white sand underfoot. Then there is the wonderful Six Senses Spa, offering a menu of rejuvenating, pampering and holistic wellness treatments to calm mind and body. Excellent diving opportunities are supported by a professional dive school.

Soneva Fushi is the ultimate island experience with sixty-five residences on an island surrounded by a coral lagoon. Soneva Fushi Resort, the first "Robinson Crusoe" style hideaway in the Maldives,is set on the privately owned, uninhibited, tropical paradise island of Kunfunadhoo. A community offering ‘Intelligent Luxury’ in which guests can do a host of activities, or nothing at all. Furnishings that reflect the rustic theme of a designer tropical escape. Dining diversities that range from simple barbecues to gourmet feasts - and an amazing wine cella.
