| Soneva Fushi in the Maldives is the ultimate island experience. In addition to discovery excursions on the resort island, or the exceptional dive opportunities, you can pamper yourself at the wonderful Six Senses Spa. |
EXPERIENCESoneva Fushi is the ultimate island experience. A little off the beaten track, the adventure begins with a thirty-minute seaplane journey from Male'. There are just sixty-five residences on an island surrounded by a coral lagoon. A community offering Intelligent Luxury in which guests can do a host of activities, or nothing at all. Furnishings that reflect the rustic theme of a designer tropical escape. Dining diversities that range from simple barbecues to gourmet feasts and an amazing wine cellar. Ramble through nature with discovery excursions on the Resort Island and neighboring island villages. And all the while, soft white sand underfoot.
Then there is the wonderful Six Senses Spa, offering a menu of rejuvenating, pampering and holistic wellness treatments to calm mind and body. A professional dive school supports excellent diving opportunities. A superb eco-journey for families and couples, who often return each year to share memories with people who enjoy the same values. Stay for a week or stay for two, and prepare to be spoiled.
Soneva Fushi Resort, the first Robinson Crusoe style hideaway in the Maldives, is set on the privately owned, uninhibited, tropical paradise island of Kunfunadhoo. Each villa has the luxuries found in the best hotels. However, whilst offering all these modern day facilities, the utmost care has been given to make the resort environment-friendly, and to reflect the dream of a Robinson Crusoe experience. Thus, the hairdryer is hidden in the drawer of a coconut wood desk; the minibar, safe, and quadraphonic hi-fi are concealed behind rattan; the TV and DVD are delivered in a water hyacinth basket. The Villas are placed so that your very own stretch of white sand beach is just a few steps away. There is dense vegetation in between each villa creating patios and gardens for secluded enjoyment. A favorite pastime is to lie looking out to sea contemplating the beauty of nature. Each bathroom opens onto a private garden. In the Deluxe Crusoe Villas, an open staircase leads to the upstairs bedroom. Various room categories are available with and without private pools.
