Soneva Fushi

Super good hotel forever

Soneva was an amazing experience. We have been to other 5 star resorts in the Maldives, but this was so special. It has this familiar feeling, you feel completely at home. The nature is beautiful. The coral reefs was beautiful. The snorkeling was amazing. Great scuba diving club. Special dining experiences. The staff was incredible. So friendly and service minded and yet you felt at ease and at home. We just loved,loved, loved it, and we will be back next year, and the year after….

Simply incredible. No words can describe this place. Our second time at Fushi and so nice to see the same people. It is paradise on earth and there is no review that could do it justice. We had a water villa this time and it was lovely. Thank you to everyone there who makes this place so very very special!

I wanted to extend my deepest gratitude for the extraordinary experience I had during my recent stay at Soneva Fushi Island. The natural beauty of the island, combined with the impeccable service and dedication to sustainability, left me truly awestruck. Each moment was filled with wonder and relaxation, and I cannot thank you enough for providing such a blissful retreat. Soneva Fushi will always hold a special place in my heart, and I look forward to returning soon.

Soneva Fushi is the best resort on this planet, period. I felt the same way after our first visit last year and our second trip has only solidified this feeling. We’ve already booked for 2025. As mentioned, our last stay was so amazing we had to come back, this time with our 6-month old daughter who we travelled all the way from Canada re-experience this magic island. We stayed for 8 nights in December and arrived from a 6-night remarkable stay at Soneva Jani that we thought would be hard to top. I’ve decided to focus my review on the unique and truly memorable aspects to our stay. Our biggest concern going forward is how the stay we just had could ever be topped in the future. Warning, long review incoming. Here were the most amazing aspects of our stay: 1/ Villa 10 “The post card view room” - We were upgraded to a 2-bedroom Crusoe Suite with a pool. This room was absolutely amazing and had a ‘post card’ style view looking out to the water, which was framed by palm trees and a hamock. After having an incredible stay at Soneva Jani staying over the water, our beach style villa at Soneva Fushi was such a nice compliment. Some things that really stood out: totally secluded jungle vibe, expansive private beach area, private gym and steam room, the outdoor washroom was insane, and the double story doors that looked like they’ve been designed to perfectly match the trees that surround the villa. Specifically with our daughter, the extra space of the 2-bedroom was amazing and the large couches inside and outside gave us ample room to have her roll around. This villa will be in our memory until we get the chance to come back!!! 2/ Michelin Star Dinner Journey at Out of the Blue… WOW!! We had the opportunity to try an experimental dinning experience and visit 3 Michelin star chefs at different locations within Out of the Blue. This was the best dinning experience best of our lives! We got to experience: So Hands by Chef Akira for 5 Omakase courses, Once Upon a Table with Chef Jacob Holsmtrom for 3-courses and finished of with So Bespoke with Chef Hiroshi for an additional 4-course at the breathtaking tapianki table. Each meal was unique and remarkable. This is something that I would highly recommend you ask to do if you get the chance, you will not be disappointed! 3/ The Private Sandbank Breakfast - Soneva will set you up with any breakfast your heart desires and leaves you to enjoy the sunrise and breakfast in private. The sandbank is a magical location and to have gotten the chance to see the sunrise and have breakfast alone was incredibly romantic, peaceful, and beautiful. 4/ The Dolphins Sunset cruise - After an unsuccessful Dolphin cruise at Soneva Jani due to weather, we had an amazing experience on perfectly calm waters - it was another simply magical experience where we saw dozens of dolphins swim below the boat. We also got to enjoy sparking wine for a 10/10 sunset, which added to the experience. I will add both times we’ve been to Sone

doubtfully I can add much to all the glorious reviews, but this place is one of a kind. unfortunately most of 5* hotels see luxury as one gets to order a montrachet and sit through a long michelin dinner and the bathroom is tiled with carrara marble. on top of it they try to give some motto of "where dreams happen" or smth along these lines, but ultimately it just some nonsense you paid a marketing depar**ent to create and it means nothing. soneva couldn't be further away from that. when they say "home away from home" they truly mean it. the word "no" just doesn't exist. any request that I've ever heard was met with genunine enthusiasm. the guest is the focus. period. and this is not intrusive at all. you can do everything or do nothing and just relax. it is also very visible that the staff is very well looked after and that sustainability is a core value. this is my 7th time at soneva andI'm definitely coming back.
