Unforgettable Maldivian luxury on untouched shores

30 January 2024

Relax on your own stretch of beach, dine on an uninhabited island, and feast on Michelin-starred cuisine at the original barefoot hideaway Soneva Fushi in the Maldives. Dive deeper into this aquatic paradise, accompanied by a World Champion free diver, revealing the untold mysteries beneath the tide, or surrender to the sanctuary of Six Senses Spa, an oasis of tranquillity amidst the embrace of forest and ocean. As dusk tenderly envelops the island, recline on the moonlit beach and relish classic movies with the sand as your seat.

Unforgettable Maldivian luxury on untouched shores

Located a mere 30-minute seaplane flight from Malé International Airport, where it has an exclusive arrivals lounge for guests, Soneva Fushi welcomes you with its impressive castaway-style villas (only 69 of them). Some come with up to nine bedrooms, making them perfect for extended-family getaways and multigenerational holidays, and lavish add-ons include private gardens and butlers.

Beneath a canopy of stars, the culinary odyssey at Soneva Fushi transcends the ordinary, inviting guests on a taste journey that blends innovation with tradition, luxury with sustainability. Out of the Blue perches elegantly over azure waters, offering a feast for the senses with its modern take on sashimi, delicately torched wagyu, and the umami-rich flavours of black cod. For connoisseurs of sweet treats, So Guilty and So Cool offer a place where the alchemy of chocolate and the joy of ice cream transform every moment into a memory.

In the realm of exclusivity, Once Upon A Table elevates dining to the realm of theatre — an intimate stage for eight, hosting a rotating cast of visiting chefs who weave tales of gastronomy in tasting experiences destined to captivate. Meanwhile, So Bespoke beckons under the starlit sky, an open-air teppanyaki grill where the sizzle of each culinary creation unfolds before your eyes. For something a little different, head to Shades of Green, where plant-based cuisine meets culinary innovation, embracing both Maldivian roots and Southeast Asian zest, all while honouring the bounty of the garden with five-course sagas.

If that wasn’t tempting enough, Soneva Fushi offers some of the most unforgettable dining experiences around the island, including private sandbank dinners, private lunches on a nearby deserted island with guided snorkelling, dinner cruises with the resident astronomer, and even Flying Sauces – the world’s first fine-dining zipwire experience, combining a gourmet menu with breathtaking views and an adrenaline rush.

You can continue the communion with nature (the mantra here is ‘No news, no shoes’) by stargazing from the resort’s observatory and camping Bedouin-style on a sandbank. Even The Den kids’ club is tech-free, to encourage younger visitors to run wild and take part in eco-friendly activities such as collecting coconuts and palm leaves to create locally inspired artwork. There are even fascinating educational courses introducing children and teens to the marvels of the natural world, including the night skies, the marine life of the Maldives, and an immersive quest for an ancient treasure galleon.
