The original barefoot hideaway.
Soneva Fushi is an unparalleled paradise in a sustainable ecosystem of lush jungle, pristine beaches, and crystalline waters. Renowned for its deep connection with nature, the resort’s architecture seamlessly integrates into the natural landscape, with villas and facilities built from sustainable materials that blend in with their surroundings. Open-air concepts erase the boundaries between indoor and outdoor, and the ‘barefoot luxury’ philosophy encourages guests to shed modern life’s trappings and reconnect with nature. Catch the sunrise from your own private garden, or contemplate the sunset from your terrace. Reside steps from the beach, with soft white sands and crystal-clear waters on your doorstep. Stay over water with panoramic ocean views. Or escape to a jungle hideaway, surrounded by unspoiled nature. Here, you can immerse yourself through experiences like guided snorkeling, beach yoga, stargazing, and spa treatments—fostering relaxation in harmony with the beauty of the island.
Soneva Fushi offers unforgettable dining experiences with an ever-changing lineup of Michelin-starred guest chefs. They offer a curated selection of global wines to explore in the Bar and Wine Cellar and guests can indulge in complimentary chocolate, ice cream, and cheese and charcuterie parlors.
From expansive pool decks to waterslides that plunge into the crystal clear ocean, to stunning views of sunrises and sunsets, the accommodations in the suites and villas are nothing short of breathtaking.
