Soneva Fushi Resort is the original desert island hideaway in the Maldives.
Vast, multi-bedroom luxury villas and private residences are hidden amongdense foliage within touching distance of a pristine, Biosphere UNESCO protected coral reef. Intuitive service is provided by Mr./Ms. Fridaybutlers who know what you want before you want it.
Every visit makes you feel young again. And children are well looked after too. Cycling round the island, never knowing when you might have to swerve to avoid bunny rabbits or lizard. Watching movies in Cinema Paradiso, counting Saturn’s rings in the Observatory. Deciding between sixty flavours of ice cream. Eleven types of pillow. Five hundred different wines. Three to nine bedroom villas. And nine dining options too.
If the experiences are magical, the philosophy is simple: No news, no shoes. No pretensions either. Now open, a floating villa concept Soneva in Aqua and a treasure trove children’s Den.
Location:
Ours is one of the largest, cloaking us in rich emerald nestled in a turquoise lagoon. Stretching 1,400 metres north to south and 400 metres wide, its Dhivehiname is Kunfunadhoo, but we lovingly call it Soneva Fushi', a marriage of our names – Sonu and Eva – with the Dhivehi word for island, Fushi .
Accommodation:
Crusoe Villa
The Robinson Crusoe castaway experience inspired us in terms of name and design.Walk the rope-tied gangway leading to your tropical terrace. Shower beneath sunor stars in your garden bathroom.
The beach is at your doorstep. Tucked amidst the greenery on the island's whitesands, the beauty of nature surrounds.
Crusoe Villa with Pool
Perch over your private pool sheltered in the trees, or take a dip in its refreshingwaters. Should you wish to take to the sea, the clear Maldivian ocean awaitsonly steps away.
We created each of our villas with a sense of whimsy. Relax amidst the playfully rustic-chicrooms and terraces and give in to the castaway spirit.
Soneva Fushi Villa
Our favourite spot in this villa is the large, luxurious open-air garden bathroom.Soak in the oversized bathtub surrounded by lush greenery, or shower by starlightenjoying the cool night breeze. Then drift to sleep on the soft cotton sheetsof your four-poster canopy bed. Awaken to morning's early rays and stepdirectly onto the Maldivian white sands of the beach right outside your villa.
