SONEVA FUSHI RESORT KUNFUNADHOO , BAA ATOLL

SONEVA FUSHI IS A FIRST-CLASS , world-renowned private island resort , full of eclectic style and barefoot luxury , which thoroughly complements its stunning natural surroundings on the Maldivian island of Kunfunadhoo . At 1,400 metres long and about 400 metres wide , Kunfunadhoo is one of the largest islands in the Maldives , and Soneva Fushi ’ s architects have worked carefully to combine the luxury of space , easy beach access and privacy . The island is large enough to explore and really get away from it all , perhaps by bicycle or along the hidden jogging trails that criss-cross luxuriant tropical vegetation . The 65 spacious rooms have thick white-washed walls , wooden or sandstone floors , beamed ceilings , thatched roofs and are furnished with stylishly rustic chairs and tables . Rattan and coconut wood hide modern-day conveniences such as the safe , hairdryer and hi-fi . The colours are natural , with shades of cinnamon and turmeric adding pinches of spice to the whites and browns . The rooms are all just a few steps from the beach . The resort has a large number of different room types , which we do not have the space to describe in detail here but can provide more information on request . The island is surrounded by a shallow lagoon of clear turquoise water enclosed by a coral reef , providing an ideal venue for snorkelling and diving as well as a range of other water sports . A feature of Soneva Fushi is the wonderful Six Senses Spa offering massage , reflexology and beauty treatments , a range of which we can prebook for you . The magical character of the resort really comes alive at night , when dramatic lighting and candles create a sense of romantic luxury , and provide the perfect setting for memorable evenings . The dining experience here at Soneva Fushi is also suitably eclectic , with a combination of superb cuisine served in the main restaurant but also in your villa , on the sandbank , on the beach or on a boat . Flavours too are a combination of western and oriental , northern and southern hemisphere and with great emphasis on the cuisine of the Maldives , using fresh local fish with Thai and Sri Lankan influences . Whatever your inclinations , whether for peace and relaxation on the beach , indulging at the ‘ mihiree mitha ’ buffet lunch followed by ice cream in the parlour , getting active with water sports , or even visiting nearby islands by boat to glimpse the traditional Maldivian way of life , Soneva Fushi aims to provide personal service par excellence .
