Soneva Fushi

We spent two magical nights at Soneva Fushi before heading to Soneva Jani, and it completely stole our hearts. Even though it’s one of the larger islands in the Maldives, it somehow feels so cozy and peaceful. There's something really special about the atmosphere there. We stayed one night in a beach villa and one in a overwater villa, and both were absolutely incredible in their own ways. The restaurants were amazing. We especially loved Out of the Blue, such an impressive design for a restaurant, and the food was delicious. One of the highlights was dinner at Fresh in the Garden, a magical spot surrounded by greenery, and we ended the evening at the Observatory, stargazing through a telescope with the resort’s own astronomer. Looking at planets while hearing stories about the universe was such a cool, unexpected experience. We also tried the zipline, which was way more fun than we expected. And honestly, what made our time at Soneva Fushi even more special was our host, Regina. She was absolutely incredible! The most thoughtful, attentive, and effortlessly kind person. I’ve never experienced that level of care and attention at a hotel before. Regina, you're a star! Soneva Fushi will always have a very special place in our memories.

Soneva Fushi is one of the most magical places I’ve ever been in my entire life. From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave your every need is taken care of. I went with my husband and our 3 children (5, 3 and 4 months old) and we all had the most amazing holiday. The food (special mention to the breakfast - sensational!) was amazing and varied. The kids club and babysitters were fantastic and very capable. The villas are so gorgeous, spacious and extremely well kept. Having three young children I truly forgot what it was like to feel relaxed however when my older boys were at kids club and my baby was sleeping in his cot, I was able to read my book in the sun and dip in and out of the crystal clear ocean and it was HEAVEN. Special mention to Micky, our barefoot guardian, who felt like part of the family by the end of our stay. We can’t wait to return!

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.

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 re

First let me say it was a relatively late call to visit Soneva Fushi on our last trip to Maldives. I had booked the last 5 days in a resort in the Male atolls for easy access to the airport when departing. However being during Easter everything was extremely expensive and I could not justify the value for the resort I had booked so changed to SF. Thank you Di from Addicted to Maldives for always taking care of my multiple changes and wobbles with a smile. I hestited about writing yet another review of SF as I was not sure I could add anything from my previous stays. However when I was perusing their website preparing for my next visit I realised that what is special about SF is the ethos and soul. What Eva and Sonu has created is an island/resort with and amazing heart. How many places do you know that banned plastic straws last century - or help the local island handle rubbish, water and teach children how to swim. How many business have staff that have been there since inception. I could go on. These things are really important to me but maybe not to everyone. Yes the island has an amazing jungle, exceptional food, genuine caring staff, great beach, reef and rooms but its is more than the sum of these things that make Soneva special. Yet its not for everyone. It is pretty low tech and totally not flashy. Yet everything is well maintained .You will look out of place if you dress up. We generally prefer smaller resorts with less families but these things have never bothered us at SF. The only thing I dislike about Fushi is the prices !!!. Being obsessed is not good for my bank balance
