Soneva Fushi

The accommodation impresses with luxurious diving, water sports, and personalized service. Guests appreciate the impeccably clean, well-designed villas, and delicious food. The spa and staff receive high praise.

First let me say it was a relatively late call to visit Soneva Fushi on our last trip to Maldives. I had booked the last 5 days in a resort in the Male atolls for easy access to the airport when departing. However being during Easter everything was extremely expensive and I could not justify the value for the resort I had booked so changed to SF. Thank you Di from Addicted to Maldives for always taking care of my multiple changes and wobbles with a smile. I hestited about writing yet another review of SF as I was not sure I could add anything from my previous stays. However when I was perusing their website preparing for my next visit I realised that what is special about SF is the ethos and soul. What Eva and Sonu has created is an island/resort with and amazing heart. How many places do you know that banned plastic straws last century - or help the local island handle rubbish, water and teach children how to swim. How many business have staff that have been there since inception. I could go on. These things are really important to me but maybe not to everyone. Yes the island has an amazing jungle, exceptional food, genuine caring staff, great beach, reef and rooms but its is more than the sum of these things that make Soneva special. Yet its not for everyone. It is pretty low tech and totally not flashy. Yet everything is well maintained .You will look out of place if you dress up. We generally prefer smaller resorts with less families but these things have never bothered us at SF. The only thing I dislike about Fushi is the prices !!!. Being obsessed is not good for my bank balance

So if there was one place in the world that I would rather be, it will forever be Soneva Fushi. From the charming, gentle and thoughtful staff, to the beautiful, authentic villas and lush surroundings, there is nowhere quite like it . The airport lounge gives a glimpse into what pleasures lie ahead, lovely nibbles, massage and compression leggings to ease the symptoms of a long flight. Our lovely barefoot guardian, Adonia, was super fantastic! We never felt awkward requesting anything ( which we have felt previously in other places) and she thought of everything before we even knew that was what we wanted! Truly, she made our time here amazing. The food here is sublime, great quality and created with great skill and thought. We loved the evenings where all the chefs had a cooking station and you could wander around, just picking what you fancy. Great for experimenting new flavours! We had a family Villa for 4 adults on the sunset side, so much space and we loved it…although the new Crusoe 2 beds tour left us breathless…. Next time! We really don’t mind the view of the local island, ( nor did the dolphins that pass by in the channel between!) but I can appreciate some won’t want that. The beautiful beach more than compensates, and we enjoyed the views of Out of the Blue and out of the Sea in the distance. Shout out to all the beautiful restaurants staff, I’m so bad with names, but they were all, without exception, outstanding! They remembered our names, what we liked etc, the spa staff, Josiah the Chinese doctor is highly recommended. I have a thing about lovely loos… and Fushi has beautiful toilets, all with a view!!! Check out was flawless and easy.. so sad to leave, but the consulation was a 2 night trip on Soneva in Aqua on the way to Jani…buts that’s another review for another day! To sum up, Soneva Fushi..you have our hearts! Check in and out was seamless, very sad to l Shout to Adonia,
