It was a experience being close to nature and cutting yourself from outside world and being in peace and serene island outside the world experience. The staff like Adam Nizam make your trip memorable and wanting you to visit there again.

Hotel's Favorite
Unbelievable and amazing in every way. From the moment you’re whisked away to the private airport lounge on arrival to the return journey in the Soneva fleet of seaplanes, this place exudes class, service and luxury. I’ve stayed at many 5 star hotels, but Soneva is an experience. Travelling with children as a single parent can be nerve racking, but from the moment we arrived to our room, we were made to feel like royalty. Our 3000 square foot pool villa on the beach was simply stunning, but not in the sort of pretentious way that so many luxury resorts can be. There was rustic furniture, Maldivian colours and an air of authenticity that no marble-heavy Ritz or Baglioni can match. Kids were free to run, free to serve themselves from the chocolate and ice cream rooms, free to ask for an extra smoothie, free to dine at the grown up tables and free to Be. The snorkeling was unbelievable. The kids club was huge, absolutely gorgeous and kept the kids more than entertained for 10 days. From the Sommelier, Charles, who seems to find you no matter where you’re dining, to the bartenders who remember your drinks order from the night before, the servers who won’t say no to asking for an extra breakfast smoothie, to the astronomers who map out constellations for your kids after dinner, to the manager who hands you a book light when he catches you struggling with sodoku in the dim of the night… Soneva is everything they say it is. The setting is magical, the people are wonderful. Did I even mention the sustainability efforts they make on the island to support this fairytale? Sonu and Eva should be so proud. They’ve literally created paradise on earth in paradise. What service, what class, what luxury. Thank you for everything. We’ll be back.…

Truly wonderful hotel that combines nature with luxury. Always something to do, new experiences to try. The people are great, food is amazing. Also, truly commuted to the planet and has an incredible recycling system and helps save the corals.

My stay was truly exceptional in many ways, and a significant part of that was thanks to the outstanding service provided by my dedicated concierge, Regina. From the moment of arrival, Regina's attention to detail and personalized care stood out. She made every effort to ensure that my meals were not just delicious but tailored to my preferences. Regina also went above and beyond in curating activities that were not only entertaining but also educational, providing a well-rounded experience. What made my stay truly unique and memorable was Regina's unwavering dedication and warm hospitality. Her presence and assistance added an extra layer of comfort and delight to the entire experience. It's an experience I will cherish and remember for a long time, largely due to Regina's exceptional service.…

This was our third trip to Soneva Fushi. It's a very special place for us as we visited it twice during covid where we got to know many of the staff and it feels like home. Within a few hours of arriving, we could feel our stress levels going down. Having not visited the island last year, it was astonishing how quickly we managed to familiarise ourselves with the island. Having visited many islands in the Maldives, Soneva is unlike any other island as it feels like a tropical jungle on a tiny speck of land in the Indian ocean. A large percentage of the visitors are repeat quests, and I can see why, as it's so laid back. The staff at SF makes the experience unlike any that we have had in the Maldives as we now know the names of various people. There are many resorts that claim to be eco-friendly, ss it in vogue, but this has been in Soneva DNA from inception from recycling through to usage of organic produce. The restaurants are superb given that you are in the middle of nowhere, but the quality of the restaurants is as good as any michelin star establishment. A special thank you to both chefs Ravi and Suresh who have once again looked after after us tremendously. We no longer use the menus, but trust them to make us something that never disappoints. Sadly, Out of the Blue closed for refurbishment after our arrival, which was a shame as that is where we normally spend the bulk of our day. I can go on about tye various restaurants, but it's all been said, suffice to say standards are high. Whilst we would return again to SF, there were some issues this time that disappointed us. We were surprised to find cockroaches in the bathroom. Initially, we assumed they were gecko's hut upon closer inspection they were indeed cockroaches, which I mentioned go our barefoot butler who said they would come and fumigate. A few days later, we spotted more and once again mentioned to our butler who nonchalantly said that they exist in this climate. We were never given an option of a change in the villa or being that concerned. When we visited in 2020, we were told that the villas on the sunset side of the island would be renovated. The villas have a certain Robinson Crusoe charm but are now in need of some TLC, given that they are ageing quite rapidly. The technology is dated with numerous switches, and it was a hit and miss exercise trying to find which switch controlled, which light. It could take 5 minutes trying to switch the light off in the pm. In the time we visited SF since 2020, there has been 4 GM with one interim GM, Charles Moris, who we met as he was leaving. The new GM had taken over prior to our arrival and in the whole 2 weeks of us being there, he never came up to any guests to introduce himself. We had met Abhishek and Eddie as they would always be present and met Abhishek again as he happened to be on the Island, who now is the group GM. We were told the new GM happened to have an FB background, having worked at some top end restaurants. Not that it made a difference to our experience at SF, but would have been good to point out some of our issues. Despite this, we will return to SF in the coming year. A special thank you to Ravi, Suresh, Inti, John, Adam, suzzie (dive centre), all the marine biologists for keeping us safe at Hanifaru and the numerous people that we can't remember the names not to forget the people behind the scenes.…

Dear SFRLondon, Thank you so much for being an ardent Soneva enthusiast and for taking the time to pen down your joyous experience at Soneva Fushi. In today’s day and age where our guests enjoy a plethora of options, it is deeply humbling each time they return to us. Thank you for embracing our lovely island and the sustainability measures. As pioneers of introducing ecofriendly tourism, we feel honored upon receiving appreciation for our efforts in that realm. I am sorry you had to miss the Out of the Blue experience. To offer an enhanced experience, Out of the Blue is currently undergoing a facelift. I am certain you will enjoy the space upon your return. I further apologize that you had to face challenges with pest during your visit. Our Pest Control team works tirelessly to eradicate pests in the most organic and natural ways on the island, but never at the cost of our guests’ comfort. Rest assured we will re-emphasize the check on the frequency of these audits and action plans. Your constructive feedback on our villas and switches inside is well noted. Thank you so much for sharing, as it indeed gives us an opportunity to revise and improvise. I am sorry to miss you on your visit this time. I have just taken charge and was still in my induction period during your stay. I really look forward to meeting and welcoming you upon your next visit. Soneva is rare because of its hosts, and each one of them is deeply humbled by your generous commentary, especially Chef Ravi, Chef Suresh, Inthi, John, Adam, Suzie and our Marine team. Thank you once again for all your observations and recommendations. They are certainly helpful. The team and I cannot wait to welcome you back to Soneva Fushi next year.

Soneva Fushi has been one of the most luxurious eco-resorts I have ever visited. I went Soneva Fushi with a girl friend and we had the best time enjoy the water sports and dining experience on the island. We stayed at one of the over the water villas, and it has enormous. Each villa has its own water slide, and our in-villa infinity pool is massive. The ceiling of the villa can be opened by just one click. It's the best way to wake up in the morning and star gazing at night. The service on the island were mostly tailored and personalized.

My first ever experience with Soneva was at Soneva Fushi! As soon as we got off the seaplane, our barefoot guardian Umar came to greet us. From welcoming to goodbye, he made sure everything of our stay was warm like home, super helpful in all aspects (5 STAR!). All the food we have are all ultimate tastes and experiences, whether it is biking into Fresh in the Garden or zip lining to Flying Saucers.
Fushi island excels in all aspects: it offers a blend of professional, discreet, and thoughtful service from all staff members, situated on a pristine natural island with an eco-friendly aesthetic. The lush, jungle-covered island adds to its beauty, complemented by outstanding cuisine and stunning villa accommodations. LASTLY, I made a few trips back to the ICE CREAM ROOM! Hehe!

My partner and I began our honeymoon at Soneva Fushi, and it was an experience that exceeded our wildest dreams. From the moment we arrived, the friendly staff made us feel incredibly welcome. Our barefoot butler was attentive, thoughtful, and incredibly sweet, adding a personal touch to our stay. The island itself is a paradise, offering a wide range of activities. A particular highlight for us was the guided snorkelling around the island and the thrilling tree ziplining. The island's landscape, a blend of lush forest and pristine beaches, was perfect for exploring. The presence of adorable rabbits living freely on the island was a delightful surprise. The diving sites around the island are breathtaking, with a wide range of aquatic life to witness. We were also impressed by the diverse food and beverage options. The buffet breakfast was a daily treat, offering a wide selection of healthy and delicious food. Our beachfront villa provided us with privacy while also offering convenient access to the beach. To fully experience everything the island has to offer, we would recommend a stay of at least 3 days. We can't wait to return to Soneva Fushi. It truly was a dream come true. …

After 7 previous visits to Soneva Fushi (the last in 2015) we decided to take our family for a weeks holiday. We and they loved the Island. The range and quality of facilities and available activities has dramatically expanded and improved since our last visit. We all (including our grandchildren) had a memorable trip. The stay at Soneva Fushi is not cheap but we consider it to be value for money. The wonderful staff enhance the trip and the food is wonderful.

Soneva Fushi is truly heaven on earth! The resort is one of the few which, in my opinion, outdoes its own marketing! Far surpasses the expectations created on the website and compared to other resorts. Pristine Island, quality experience! The ownership, management and staff only add to the magical aura of authentic, warm, soulful #SlowLife. Words cannot adequately describe the end to end breathtaking experience we had. Soneva Fushi will certainly be a staple of our holidays going forward. You'll be met at Malé Airport itself and personally escorted to your connecting domestic leg. And from Dharavandoo, you'll be personally met by your assigned Barefoot Guardian!
