XO Private - The Luxury Travel Collection
The finest online directory for the discerning traveller

Surrounded by white sand beaches that shelve gently into an azure blue sea, the exclusive Soneva Fushi Resort on the privately owned island of Kunfunadhoo in The Maldives offers the ultimate in barefoot sophistication.

All 65 rooms and villas – some with private pool and some with spa suites - are set back into the vegetation. The trees and the plants separate each of the villas ensuring the utmost in privacy. It also means that the trees and natural vegetation of the island are kept intact. So designer marble entrance lobbies are banished in favour of a more natural environment. Guests are encouraged to go barefoot throughout the course of their stay, or ride bicycles to get around the island, from their villa to the library, the dive school or the relaxing Six Senses Spa.

Soneva Fushi also presents a variety of gourmet dining options in settings as memorable as the food itself, such as a seaside moonlit barbecue, a desert island picnic, a lunch under a canopy of trees, or an intimate meal by lantern on a private beach.
