Maldives
Soneva Fushi
Soneva Fushi is a picturesque little island tucked away in the northern Baa Atoll of the Maldives. It was founded by Sonu and Eva in the year 1995 and together they pioneered the concept of barefoot luxury. If you are looking for a holiday of the particularly relaxed kind, this is the perfect place to be!
"No news, no shoes!" - the philosophy of this luxury resort is simple and yet so wonderful. Let go, switch off, dig your feet into the sand, the world will still keep turning without you for a few days. Allow time for yourself and for your loved ones. With its focus on sustainability, Soneva offers a life in harmony with nature and simple luxury.
On the culinary side, Soneva is fresh and exciting. An assortment of vegetables, fruits and all kinds of spices thrive in its organic garden, which are then transformed into freshly prepared culinary delights. Sobah's Restaurant, a little idyllic joint is located on a small island about 15 minutes by speedboat serving up traditional Maldivian cuisine albeit with a modern twist. Another one called "Fresh in the Garden" allows one to dine in the vegetable patch of the retreat which is absolutely romantic. For something more exclusive, try the "So Hands On" sushi restaurant which has room for only five people.

More about the hotel:
- Wellness
Their award-winning Six Senses Spa offers massages, scrubs and versatile treatments. On this idyllic island, it is truly baffling that there is an even quieter and more relaxing place than the island itself. Enjoy tailor-made wellness programmes, preceded by an innovative wellness screening. In addition, renowned guest therapists always offer exceptional healing therapies.
- Living Space
The unique private pool villas are either on the sunrise or on the sunset side; are always exceptionally spacious and built sustainably from natural materials. Around the villas are beautiful tropical greens offering complete privacy. The beach can be reached through a private access via the villas. Daydream on your sundeck and let yourself be lulled to sleep by the ebb and fall of the waves.
- Why we love it
The Maldivian-sized island enjoys a comparatively denser vegetation. It's fun to lose yourself on a tropical bike ride, to discover enchanted corners like Cinema Paradiso and Turtle Beach. The underwater world of the only UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Baa Atoll is also wonderfully untouched, thanks to the tireless work of the Soneva Foundation.
- What you must not miss
The ‘Soneva in Aqua’ day experience is a memorable private excursion aboard Soneva's ultra-luxurious yacht.
You can enjoy a delicious lunch on deck or snorkel with manta rays, colourful fish and turtles in the most beautiful spots in the Baa Atoll, or find relaxation with an on board spa therapist. Or you can simply just soak in the outdoor Jacuzzi. Sunsets are reserved for a sparkly glass and if you’re lucky enough, have dolphins jump around near by.
