Soneva Fushi

If you know, you know. Soneva properties are one of a kind - intelligent, barefoot luxury. Don’t expect marble floors and glitz, instead it’s about connecting with your surroundings with the freshest food, fabulous service and a vibe that you have to experience for yourself. It’s a special experience.

No news no shoes - ultra luxury getaway in the Maldives . The prefect stay option for couples and family with kids as well . World famous hospitality and sustainable resort. Great location and food as well. Just a perfect stay option for any occasion

So if there was one place in the world that I would rather be, it will forever be Soneva Fushi. From the charming, gentle and thoughtful staff, to the beautiful, authentic villas and lush surroundings, there is nowhere quite like it . The airport lounge gives a glimpse into what pleasures lie ahead, lovely nibbles, massage and compression leggings to ease the symptoms of a long flight. Our lovely barefoot guardian, Adonia, was super fantastic! We never felt awkward requesting anything ( which we have felt previously in other places) and she thought of everything before we even knew that was what we wanted! Truly, she made our time here amazing. The food here is sublime, great quality and created with great skill and thought. We loved the evenings where all the chefs had a cooking station and you could wander around, just picking what you fancy. Great for experimenting new flavours! We had a family Villa for 4 adults on the sunset side, so much space and we loved it…although the new Crusoe 2 beds tour left us breathless…. Next time! We really don’t mind the view of the local island, ( nor did the dolphins that pass by in the channel between!) but I can appreciate some won’t want that. The beautiful beach more than compensates, and we enjoyed the views of Out of the Blue and out of the Sea in the distance. Shout out to all the beautiful restaurants staff, I’m so bad with names, but they were all, without exception, outstanding! They remembered our names, what we liked etc, the spa staff, Josiah the Chinese doctor is highly recommended. I have a thing about lovely loos… and Fushi has beautiful toilets, all with a view!!! Check out was flawless and easy.. so sad to leave, but the consulation was a 2 night trip on Soneva in Aqua on the way to Jani…buts that’s another review for another day! To sum up, Soneva Fushi..you have our hearts! Check in and out was seamless, very sad to l Shout to Adonia,

Another visit to Soneva Fushi and it just gets better. Stayed at villa 26 this time and it was fabulous. The food was excellent whether at Fresh in the Garden, Down to Earth, Out of the Sea or Out of the Blue. Special thanks to our Guardian Saeed, Sonia who looked after the villa, Arla and Sanjit at Out of the Blue and Ravi at breakfast. It is the staff that makes this incredible place so wonderful.

We had the most amazing time in Soneva and wanted to see where the original barefoot luxury began. The resort is incredible. Yes there areas of construction and the local island on one of the island but in general it's the level of hospitality that's unmatched. A lot of the staff have been there for many years and there's a culture of warmth permeating through them. For us, meals felt more like being in a lavish family function with uncles and aunts or cousins rather than staff members. In particular thank you to Aftab, and many of the chefs who went above and beyond like Narendra and Ravi. The kids club is as incredible as described too and our kids particularly enjoyed the introduction to water sports sessions. Most of all a huge thank you to Miqdad who was a great host and so kind with our kids. So much so, they've asked how he is, since we left. We hope to return again soon, which is a sign of how good the place is as we've not returned to a resort before!
