Soneva Fushi

Discover a barefoot sanctuary where family adventure meets marine wonder. Set within the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Soneva Fushi is one of the Maldives’ largest islands, a haven of lush jungle, white-sand beaches and thriving reef.

A scenic seaplane journey from Malé delivers you to this private hideaway, where villas crafted from reclaimed wood and palm thatch are hidden in the foliage or set along the shore. From romantic one-bedroom retreats to the vast Nine Bedroom Private Reserve with its own spa, gym and waterslide, each offers space, privacy and barefoot luxury.

Life slows to a natural rhythm: cycling sandy trails, watching films under the stars, or stargazing from the island observatory. At Soneva Soul Spa, ayurveda and sound healing sit alongside cryotherapy and hyperbaric oxygen, while yoga and tai chi invite calm renewal.

For families, The Den is an imaginative playground filled with pirate ships, water slides and secret cinemas. Out at sea, marine biologists guide encounters with turtles, manta rays and whale sharks in Hanifaru Bay, deepening a connection with the ocean.

Dining is theater for the senses, from over-water feasts at Out of the Blue to intimate beach barbecues, or the one-of-a-kind thrill of ziplining into a treetop fine-dining experience at Flying Sauces.

Sustainability is woven into every detail. Soneva Fushi has long pioneered the idea of intelligent luxury, where indulgence goes hand in hand with protecting the natural world. Guests can see this commitment in action, from solar-powered energy to ingenious waste-to-wealth recycling, and can even join inspiring experiences such as glassblowing with recycled materials or learning about marine conservation at AquaTerra.
