Our stay at Soneva Fushi was nothing short of perfection, a true celebration of luxury, privacy, and sustainability. From the moment we arrived, we felt deeply cared for and utterly pampered, making our 2-night stay an unforgettable experience. We were privileged to stay in the 2-Bedroom Crusoe Residence (Villa 24), a spacious and beautifully designed villa offering over 300 sqm of space. Surrounded by tall frangipani, the villa ensured ultimate privacy, with our own secluded ***** of pristine beach. Most of the time, it felt like we had the entire beach to ourselves—truly a magical experience. The villa also featured its own private pool, an outdoor shower, and a sunken bathtub, offering a luxurious and serene retreat that perfectly complemented the natural beauty of the island. Our host, Shan, deserves special recognition for his exceptional care and warmth. From the moment we met, we felt a personal connection, and his attention to detail made our stay even more special. As we celebrated our anniversary and my wife’s birthday during this trip, Shan surprised us with a beautiful message drawn in the sand—a heartfelt and touching gesture that we will treasure forever. Any guest would be lucky to have Shan as their host, and we wish him all the best in his future endeavours. The island’s commitment to sustainability mirrors that of Soneva Jani, with nearly self-sufficient electricity and a deep focus on eco-friendly practices. This ethos seamlessly blends with their exceptional culinary experiences. At Shades of Green, we delighted in vegetarian dishes crafted from the resort’s fresh produce. Special thanks to Winni, whose skillful preparation and passion for the cuisine made the experience even more memorable. Out of the Blue was our go-to spot for refreshing cocktails while enjoying breathtaking sunsets over the Indian Ocean. Dining at Fresh in the Garden was an adventure in itself. The tree-top restaurant, accessible via a suspension bridge, offered a unique and thrilling approach. The food was exquisite, and the atmosphere unmatched. After dinner, we were thrilled to visit the island’s observatory, complete with its own telescope and an astronomer who was both knowledgeable and friendly, making stargazing a truly magical experience. Our journey to Soneva Fushi was as delightful as the stay. The 30-minute seaplane ride from Velana International Airport (MLE) to the resort offered mesmerizing views of coral reefs and lagoons. The experience began even before we arrived, with pampering at the Soneva lounge at the terminal, setting the tone for what was to come. We were greeted in our villa with a complimentary bottle of Leclerc Briant champagne, a thoughtful touch that perfectly aligned with the resort’s eco-friendly ethos. As enthusiasts of biodynamic champagne, this gesture resonated deeply with us, especially since we had the privilege of visiting this boutique champagne house in France. The Soneva Soul spa added an extra layer of re

An emerald paradise in the middle of the Indian Ocean offers all that you imagine under an exclusive private holiday. All the villas are amazingly equipped and offer high comfort and beautiful nature around, on which the resort is focused. One of the few places in the Maldives where you can experience astronomical observations of the night sky for the general public. And you will also experience beautiful views of the night sky, the Moon, the Milky Way, and the distant objects of the universe. The island is surrounded by a beautiful lagoon full of amazing possible life. Enjoy fantastic gastronomic evenings in the company of extremely nice people. And one of the top experiences is observing the sky on the sandbank.

Soneva Fushi is special! We stopped in a sunrise overwater villa, & it was excellent... & HUGE The water slide is a lovely touch... But we used it twice in a week... However the study, bedroom, deck, pool & bathroom are all incredible spaces. The food is excellent (would strongly recommend Out of the Blue), & breakfast is always special. This is NOT a cheap island to book, but once you're there, prices are very comparable with most other Maldivian resorts. Service superb throughout. If you only get to go to the Maldives once - Then this is the one to pick.

What a treat Soneva was. We came for a few nights as part of our honeymoon. Complete paradise, it's exactly what you dream it to be. We loved our villa on the beach, it was really nice to have direct access to the shore line. We went snorkelling most morning's and evenings - so many fish! We had dinner one night at So Bespoke which was a highlight, a Japanese meal was made in front of us while we watched the sunset. The ice-cream / chocolate room was also a big highlight, this was open to enjoy at our leisure. I highly recommend the guided snorkelling. They take you on a boat out to see and you'll get to snorkel at a reef out in the middle of the ocean, we saw turtles, 1000's of beautiful fish and reef sharks. The sunset dolphin cruise was also stunning. We loved out time at Soneva Fushi! We also went to Soneva Jani, Soneva Fushi was our favourite out of the two.
