Soneva Fushi

We travelled to Soneva Fushi as a family of 7 adults and 4 children and had the best experience throughout our 5 night stay. We had looked at many other options and after careful planning we opted for Soneva Fushi. We loved every second spent on this island!!! We stayed at Villa 14 which allowed us to be in a big villa with 5 bedroomsand have our own big pool, gym, sauna, steam room, kitchen and living room. Upon our arrival we were escorted directly on to our seaplane and flown to our island paradise. Micky, our assigned butler, was the absolute best!! He cared and looked after us in the best possible way, organizing every bit of our stay. Our four children loved The Den which offered many fun activities. The breakfast buffet at Mihiree Mithaa was fantastic, with a huge choice of food stations. We loved dining in Fresh in the Garden and Out of the Blue. We were on a half board meal plan and we were made to feel as we could eat as much as we wanted unlike some of the other resorts which always looked to restrict or charge extras any given chance they had. The service was out of this world. The island gave the feel of true Maldivian feel and we loved the lush jungle feel. Our bicycles helped us get around the island which is quite big considering other resorts. We also often called the buggy to transport us to places. Our favourite family activity was the fantastic snorkeling off the Out of the Sea. We saw incredible fish, reef sharks and loved the outer reef snorkeling. We have been to 15 resorts in the Maldives and we have unanimously decided that Soneva Fushi is absolutely our first choice. We loved everything about the laid back vibe of the island. If you are considering going on a family get together we would highly recommend Villa 14 which can house up to 8 adults and 4 children. Thank you to all the wonderful Team of Soneva Fushi, especially Micky. You guys are the best!!!

Amazing hotel and amazing staff. Everything is done to let you enjoy your holidays. Relaxing and enjoying life are the only target of the day I recommend scuba diving in one of the best place of Maldives The restaurants offer excellent food with a large choice of dishes

It was such a magical experience for our honeymoon. Lots of activities to do and it was such an extraordinary feeling to connect with nature especially with the barefoot walks around the island. The staff were extremely nice and we had the best barefoot butler by name of Miqdad who was really helpful and seems to be vert vast on the island and all fun things to be done and when to do them. We also had couples private photoshoot at different locations and the photographer HANEEN was very professional and also gives quality advices on what to where and locations and times for each picture and outfit; she’s extraordinary. The out of the blue restaurant had really nice foods and the chinese chef was also very good and had lots of good things we wanted. The female room cleaner was very nice too and she’s always available. We did lots of activities including snorkeling where we were lucky enough to see some tortoises inside wanter and On our last day we had Jungle dinner experience and the setup was sooo nice and matches the romantic vibe of the occasion thanks to the fresh in the garden restaurant manager Rilwan and Chef Chinthaka and his team. Overall it was a really good experience at Soneva Fushi and we would really like to come back.

I spent a few days in this amazing hotel. All our stay was perfect. The rooms are nice but have a lot of inefficient space, like the terrace of the top floor. The villas, with two floors, are a bit uncomfortable. The pool villa is always on the shade, which does not make any sense when everyone that travels to the Maldives is looking for the sun. But the food, the beach, the sports, and very specially, the service was impressive. Our butler, Miqdad, was always ready to make our stay a perfect one. Always attentive, always smiling, always arranging all our needs in restaurants, activities, or whatever we needed. Thanks Miqdad, you made our days very very special.

Our stay at Soneva Fushi was nothing short of perfection, a true celebration of luxury, privacy, and sustainability. From the moment we arrived, we felt deeply cared for and utterly pampered, making our 2-night stay an unforgettable experience. We were privileged to stay in the 2-Bedroom Crusoe Residence (Villa 24), a spacious and beautifully designed villa offering over 300 sqm of space. Surrounded by tall frangipani, the villa ensured ultimate privacy, with our own secluded strip of pristine beach. Most of the time, it felt like we had the entire beach to ourselves—truly a magical experience. The villa also featured its own private pool, an outdoor shower, and a sunken bathtub, offering a luxurious and serene retreat that perfectly complemented the natural beauty of the island. Our host, Shan, deserves special recognition for his exceptional care and warmth. From the moment we met, we felt a personal connection, and his attention to detail made our stay even more special. As we celebrated our anniversary and my wife’s birthday during this trip, Shan surprised us with a beautiful message drawn in the sand—a heartfelt and touching gesture that we will treasure forever. Any guest would be lucky to have Shan as their host, and we wish him all the best in his future endeavours. The island’s commitment to sustainability mirrors that of Soneva Jani, with nearly self-sufficient electricity and a deep focus on eco-friendly practices. This ethos seamlessly blends with their exceptional culinary experiences. At Shades of Green, we delighted in vegetarian dishes crafted from the resort’s fresh produce. Special thanks to Winni, whose skillful preparation and passion for the cuisine made the experience even more memorable. Out of the Blue was our go-to spot for refreshing cocktails while enjoying breathtaking sunsets over the Indian Ocean. Dining at Fresh in the Garden was an adventure in itself. The tree-top restaurant, accessible via a suspension bridge, offered a unique and thrilling approach. The food was exquisite, and the atmosphere unmatched. After dinner, we were thrilled to visit the island’s observatory, complete with its own telescope and an astronomer who was both knowledgeable and friendly, making stargazing a truly magical experience. Our journey to Soneva Fushi was as delightful as the stay. The 30-minute seaplane ride from Velana International Airport (MLE) to the resort offered mesmerizing views of coral reefs and lagoons. The experience began even before we arrived, with pampering at the Soneva lounge at the terminal, setting the tone for what was to come. We were greeted in our villa with a complimentary bottle of Leclerc Briant champagne, a thoughtful touch that perfectly aligned with the resort’s eco-friendly ethos. As enthusiasts of biodynamic champagne, this gesture resonated deeply with us, especially since we had the privilege of visiting this boutique champagne house in France. The Soneva Soul spa added an extra layer of relaxation to our stay. We enjoyed a guided meditation session, which was incredibly soothing and grounding, helping us connect even more deeply to the tranquil surroundings. We had the pleasure of meeting Jenny, the sales and marketing liaison at the resort. She is truly amazing—wonderful to get to know and share some time with. Also, Gerhard, the Guardian of the Experience, made it a point to come around every morning at breakfast, exchanging a few words with us, which was a lovely personal touch. As an extra charm, the island is home to over 500 friendly bunnies, who roam freely and add an unexpected and delightful element to the experience. After our unforgettable stay at Soneva Fushi, we took a seaplane over to Soneva Jani, which is also highly recommended. The journey was seamless, offering stunning views of the ocean, and Soneva Jani offers the same level of luxury, sustainability, and privacy as Soneva Fushi. We must also mention the founders and creative minds behind the Soneva resorts, Sonu and Eva, whose extraordinary vision has created an unparalleled standard in sustainable luxury. Their commitment to combining eco-conscious practices with the highest levels of comfort is truly inspiring and an example for all in the industry. In summary, Soneva Fushi offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, sustainable luxury, and heartfelt hospitality. Whether it was walking along our private beach, indulging in exceptional dining experiences, or stargazing after dinner, every moment felt special and unique. We cannot recommend this resort enough—Soneva Fushi is truly paradise redefined.
