Set on a 100-acre island in the remote Baa Atoll, Soneva Fushi exudes the theme of “intelligent luxury” that has made it a legendary resort. The ultimate in barefoot sophistication, the setting beckons vacationing honeymooners as well as families in search of island adventures.
Soneva Fushi has invested considerably in maintaining the island’s natural state such that riding around on a bicycle feels like journeying through a lush jungle.
With exciting facilities such as an underground wine cellar, treetop restaurant, organic fruit and vegetable garden, ice cream bar, and outdoor cinema, guests are never lacking for things to do. For a special treat, make sure to visit the Champagne Bar built over the house reef – an enticing view and an excellent snorkeling spot.
The variety of accommodations located on the beach, all with views of the surrounding lagoon, captures the essence of a Robinson Crusoe castaway fantasy. Several villas offer private pools, and both the Jungle Reserve and The Retreat are amongst the largest villas in the Maldives.
