A gem on the private island of Kunfunadhoo

Soneva Fushi is an exclusive example of excellence in the sphere of responsible tourism. Situated on the private island of Kunfunadhoo, 60 miles to the north of Malé, in the atoll of Baa, the resort is found within a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. Turquoise-blue, crystal-clear waters, fine white sand, fauna of a coral reef where marine turtles swim alongside giant rays and lush, tropical vegetation provide the backdrop to this idyllic haven, which offers a unique experience in an unspoilt natural environment. The island, at 1.4 km long and 400 m wide, is one of the largest in the Maldives, but offers a feeling of intimacy due to its secluded position, part of the charm of this paradise. It also delivers an experience of sophisticated luxury linked to the natural environment, an “intelligent luxury” that combines the highest standards of service and quality with the principles of ecological sustainability and protection of the environment. “Slow Life” and “No News No Shoes” are the mottos of the Soneva resorts, which are inspired by the novel “Robinson Crusoe”: from the pristine beaches and “Mr. Friday” butlers to the furnishings and bedrooms. The 57 villas are set among lush green vegetation. The sizes vary, but they are all a stone’s throw from the sea with a small private beach and garden; many have private salt-water pools. The different types include “Crusoe“, with or without pool; “Soneva Fushi“and “Soneva Fushi Two-Bedroom“with pool; “Soneva Fushi Suite“with pool (with 1 suite with bedroom in a treehouse 2.5 m from the ground); “Two-Three Bedroom Suits“with pool; “Deluxe Suite“(also with pool); “One-Two-Three Bedroom Crusoe Suite“with pool; “Retreat” bungalow on two floors that becomes a Two-Three Bedroom Suite; “Jungle Reserve“, 1,720 m3 with 4 bedrooms, kitchen, fitness area and private spa suite or the
