Dream stay: Soneva Fushi’s new over-the-top Water Retreats
Recently, we have observed two prominent patterns in travel: a growing inclination toward seeking refuge in expansive natural environments and a preference for renting private villas. These trends offer travelers the ideal opportunities to satisfy their desires for rejuvenating escapes, all while prioritizing the practice of social distancing. Soneva Fushi in the Maldives has impeccably captured the essence of these trends by introducing its remarkable collection of eight new Water Retreats, exuding an unmatched level of luxury.
On-call butlers cater to every need, from room service to arranging private picnics, while each villa provides bicycles and tricycles for exploring the lush grounds. Enjoy an outdoor movie night at Cinema Paradiso or learn glassblowing at the glass studio, where Soneva upcycles glass waste into unique souvenirs.
Located in the UNESCO-designated Baa Atoll Biosphere Reserve, this 71-room resort offers guests a range of aquatic experiences, such as surfing and snorkeling with manta rays. Sustainability initiatives at this carbon-neutral property include:
- Sourcing seafood locally.
- Banning plastic water bottles.
- Establishing a coral reef nursery to protect marine life.
