Description: Soneva Fushi, in the North Baa Atoll region of the Maldives, is the ultimate island experience. A little off the beaten track, the adventure begins with a thirty-minute seaplane journey from Male'. Kunfunadhoo Island is surrounded by a shallow lagoon enclosed by coral reef, providing crystal clear turquoise waters, which are ideal for snorkelling and a wide variety of water sports. A community offering ‘Intelligent Luxury’ in which guests can do a host of activities, or nothing at all. 65 Villas are scattered along the beach and tucked into the lush greenery, providing personal privacy. 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.
Rooms: Soneva Fushi offers just 65 accommodations. The Jungle Reserve and the two Retreats offer the premier accommodation. Each villa opens to its very own stretch of white sand beach just a few steps away, whilst many also include Private Sea Water Swimming Pools. Each bathroom extends to a private garden, whilst utmost care is given to the environment.
