Welcome to the original desert island hideaway in a tropical paradise. A five star resort in one of the world’s best holiday destinations, Maldives. Soneva Fushi is a coral island situated in Baa Atoll which is a short 35 minute journey, soaring through the air on a Sea Plane. The name of the luxurious hotel is a combination of the two lovers called Sonu and Eva, along with the Dhivehi word “Fushi” which means Island. Their ‘no news, no shoes’ philosophy will let you experience a true Maldives holiday of barefoot luxury.
Embark on a journey to this five star hotel made of tiny grains of powder white sand and lush greenery in every corner, surrounded by a water of turquoise hue. Housing fifty five luxurious villas of multi-bedrooms and private residences that is available for purchase or rent, carefully hidden amongst a garden of green with complete seclusion and plenty of privacy.
Wine and dine with exquisite delicacies either in one of their luxurious restaurants in creative settings, inside a wine cellar, in the comforts of your villa, or on the pristine beach of the island. Peer through a state of the art telescope to pinpoint the planets and stars that are millions of miles away. Watch a classic movie as the stars twinkle upon you in the night sky, with the sound of the waves gently lapping against the shore and the trees swaying to the rhythm of the wind. Get to know more about Maldivian history and learn to make a Maldivian dish. Explore the underwater beauty of paradise on earth or simply go on an adventurous excursion cruising through the azure waters, Island hopping or visiting an uninhabited island. Don’t fret about running out of things to do while holidaying in this luxury resort.
This luxury island opens its arm for honeymooners and family vacationers. Whether you are yearning for a romantic holiday at an intimate atmosphere or a family holiday filled with adventures, Soneva Fushi will provide it for you. Soneva Fushi is a slice of paradise in one of the best tourist destinations that is ready to give you the luxury holiday you crave for. With numerous enjoyable activities for the whole family to create new memories and intimate moments for couples to fall more in love.
The Robinson Crusoe castaway experience inspired us in terms of name and design. Walk the rope-tied gangway leading to your tropical terrace. Shower beneath sun or stars in your garden bathroom. The beach is at your doorstep. Tucked amidst the greenery on the island's white sands, the beauty of nature surrounds.
Perch over your private pool sheltered in the trees, or take a dip in its refreshing waters. Should you wish to take to the sea, the clear Maldivian ocean awaits only steps away. We created each of our villas with a sense of whimsy. Relax amidst the playfully rustic-chic rooms and terraces and give in to the castaway spirit.
Strolling the pristine sands and jungle greenery of our island, far from any mainland shore, we fell in love with the feeling of being blissfully lost from the world, shipwrecked on a Maldivian deserted isle with only its natural bounty at our disposal. Embracing this sensation, we designed this Two-bedroom Crusoe Villa with tropical whimsy: raw wood that retains its gnarls and bends, woven ropes, recycled planks, palm thatch.
Our favourite spot in this villa is the large, luxurious open-air garden bathroom. Soak in the oversized bathtub surrounded by lush greenery, or shower by starlight enjoying the cool night breeze. Then drift to sleep on the soft cotton sheets of your four-poster canopy bed. Awaken to morning's early rays and step directly onto the Maldivian white sands of the beach right outside your villa.
The most important experiences in life are those you share with the ones you love. We designed these luxury Two-bedroom Soneva Fushi Villas to set the stage for such magical memories.
Sometimes on holiday we wish to go out and explore, and other times we take advantage of the opportunity to shelter ourselves away. As we created this villa, we ensured that it would be the perfect enclave for a romantic escape.
Who would not love to be shipwrecked on a lush magical isle like Soneva Fushi? We have even taken care of the hard part for you; the thatched roof has been woven, the beams hewn, the hammock strewn, your own “lagoon†(a private swimming pool) dug and tiled. All you and your family have to do is enjoy it.

When Robinson Crusoe washed ashore, he encountered a wild world full of discoveries. We offer your family a similar burst of excitement in this playfully indulgent luxury suite. Upstairs and downstairs bedrooms, a choice of sitting areas on high and low, a swimming pool of your very own, direct beach access, two lush open-air garden bathrooms, personal bicycles for island exploring and more.
Watching the sun descend below the horizon, we knew we'd found a special place – one that called for a beautiful hideaway where a family or group of friends could enjoy this spectacular Maldivian location in total privacy.
There is something magical about sunrise over the ocean. The swirl of colours. The quiet of early morning. The day full of possibilities. And the possibilities really are endless in this sprawling luxurious retreat we have placed on one of the island's best stretches for taking in the dawn spectacle.
Some of us are early risers, taking in the dawn and its peaceful atmosphere. And others of us revel in the spirit of the evening, leaving the early hours for the birds. We created the Sunset Retreat more for the latter set – though absolutely everyone will enjoy its luxuries.
The lush jungles of our Maldivian island enraptured us. We loved feeling lost in their wilds as we wound in and out of the tree trunks, peering through leaves, listening to the rhythms of the canopy. And so we created this very special Jungle Reserve, a gargantuan villa engulfed by the dense green forest.

Sobah’s Restaurant
Named after Chef Sobah, the ‘Best Chef in the Maldives’ award winner, Sobah’s is a traditional Maldivian restaurant located on an uninhabited island only 15 minutes away by speedboat from Soneva Fushi.
The cuisine is uniquely Maldivian with modern twists, and is prepared using traditional cooking methods. The beach restaurant seats only 18 for dinner and is open two nights per week, subject to a minimum number of diners. On completion of the dinner, guests will be given an introduction to the starry night sky from our resident astronomer, while enjoying some of our finest digestives. A not-to-be-missed experience.
Fresh In The Garden
Fresh picked delights from nature bring back memories of childhood – Midsummer strawberry picking, twisting dandelions in hand. In Soneva Fushi’s eternal summer, Fresh in the Garden rekindles these sensations from a very lofty perch.
Surrounded by tropical banana trees, this restaurant without walls rises above our herb and vegetable garden with sublime panoramas stretching beyond. Enjoy a long, leisurely meal of Mediterranean-inspired dishes, prepared with freshly plucked produce from your surroundings.
Mihiree Mitha
We aim to anticipate our guests’ desires. In the words of Oscar Wilde, “Nothing succeeds like excess.” In that spirit we have gone delightfully overboard for you at the culinary heart of our island. Mihiree Mitha means “Here it is”, and almost any dish you crave is here.
The day begins with a bounty of just-baked goodies, two dozen imported cheeses, eggs any way you like, a treasure chest of homemade jams and fresh fruits… luscious mango, papaya, passionfruits. For lunch or dinner, choose from the freshest sushi and sashimi, organic salads, wood-fired pizzas, grilled fish, delectable tandoori. For a sweet finish, more than 60 homemade ice creams and sorbets await, including unexpected flavours like honeycomb and rosemary, piña colada and chocolate-lemongrass.
Bar(A) Bara
Tipples by the ripples. Lie back on a cushioned hammock suspended over the Indian Ocean, cocktail in hand, and watch the dance of fish schooling beneath the waves. Look out for bottlenose or spinner dolphins frolicking in the sunset, or perhaps a majestic sea turtle gliding past just beyond arm’s reach.
Marrying nature and nurture, we created Bar(a)bara as a passionately charged retreat to foster romance or a feeling of warmth – with all the aquatic beauty of the Maldives literally at your feet. Soak in the setting with creative cocktails, fresh squeezed juices of organic fruits just picked from the tree or vine, luscious wines, cold beers and Soneva Fushi’s own crystal enhanced wellness waters.
By The Bar
We have long embraced the spirit of laid-back luxury. The finest champagnes paired with bare feet in the sand. A long, healing spa treatment followed by a premium liqueur – because why not?
By the Bar exemplifies this casual approach. An oasis of calm, Soneva Fushi’s main bar is a relaxed shelter of trestled wooden beams where one of the Maldives’ best selections of spirits awaits.
Down To Earth
The sharing of food is a primal bonding ritual. Families around a home table, tribes around a fire, kin around a hearth. We sought to recreate this intimacy with dishes designed for sharing.
In one of the world’s most exquisite destinations, cherish in a sense of togetherness as you and your loved ones share in a mouth watering spread of crowd-pleasing dishes.
In-Villa Dining
Midnight desserts in the lunar glow? A family lunch where the children plan the menu and have it served by the pool – or perhaps in the tree house? A romantic gathering of sensual flavours on a private terrace for two?
As we designed each villa type, we lavished their architecture with an abundance of decks, terraces, sprawling verandahs and open-air courtyards. Take advantage of your tropical living spaces with breakfast, lunch, dinner or late-night treats in the intimacy of your villa. Choose from the overflowing pages of our in-villa dining menu, or imagine a meal of your very own and ask our chefs to bring it to life.
Destination Dining
When we created Soneva Fushi, we took the opportunity to seize a playground for our imaginations. It was our place to break the rules, to delve into fantasies, to relive childhood wonder. As such, we encourage you to dream up your own experiences.
Picnic on a private island and let us deliver you by speedboat. Nestle away in the jungle of Soneva Fushi. Pick the spot that piques your own fancy and craft a menu of your desires with our executive chef. Of course, you will probably want to accompany it with a little passion from the vine; select sips from our 7,000 bottle subterranean wine cellar.
The Wine Cellar
We believe the mark of any great home is a fantastic wine cellar. As we built Soneva Fushi as our island home (yes it was our personal Robinson Crusoe hideaway before we expanded the “estate” to host guests), we made sure to create a cave that rivalled the world’s finest wine collections.
The collection: rare champagnes, grand cru clarets, vintage cognacs, organic and biodynamic wines. Before any dinner, our sommelier would be happy to descend with you to the subterranean wine cellar and show you around our collection of 7,000 bottles as he helps you pick your evening’s selection.
Tastings throughout each week tempt your palate with flights of unique wines, paired with a delectable assortment of amuse-bouche and interactive discussions guided by our sommelier.
Special Diets
Soneva is committed to offering a wide range of culinary and dietary options for our guests. We can prepare special menus and exquisite dining options for guests who are vegetarian, vegan, celiac, gluten-intolerant, and who may have other food allergies.
Soneva Fushi Resort is a large desert island hideaway tucked into a beautiful corner of Maldives and filled with pristine beaches, vibrant reefs encompassing the island and a haven for colonies of nesting turtles. The resort offers world class luxuries an
