About

Soneva Fushi is the original chapter of Soneva’s island life—unhurried yet alive, built around nature on a private island in Baa Atoll. Jungle villas disappear into the canopy; overwater villas meet the reef. The resort emphasises multi-generational travel, discovery, and sustainability (design around nature, recycled-waste art at The Glass Studio and Maker’s Place, Aquaterra coral work). Dining is a core experience: Barefoot Butlers guide guests through many tables, plus 24-hour cheese, chocolate, and ice cream rooms.
