Soneva Jani . Medhufaru Island . Noonu Atoll . Maldives .
Soneva Fushi is the original desert island hideaway in the Maldives. Soneva Fushi inspires the imagination with 63 beachfront villas and eight Water Retreats, ranging in size from one to nine bedrooms. Located within the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the resort is 35 minutes by seaplane from MLE Airport and 1 hour by speedboat from Soneva Jani.
Everything about this resort feels otherworldly, from the crystal-clear turquoise water and dolphins at sunset, to the delicious meals available at the resort’s multiple dining venues. Nature is nurtured here, from the sustainable design and furnishings of the villas, through to the operations and waste-to-wealth center, which truly defines the essence of barefoot ‘intelligent luxury’.
Watch classic movies at our outdoor Cinema Paradiso. Choose from nine different dining options, five hundred wines and 11 types of pillow, or unwind at the on-site Six Senses Spa. Nature’s resources are transformed into art at the Glass Studio, while glorious days are spent stargazing at the Observatory, sampling organic delicacies and exploring the coral reef. Intuitive service is provided by Mr./Ms. Friday personal butlers who know what you want before you want it.
If the experiences are magical, the philosophy is simple: no news, no shoes. No pretensions either.
The villas at Soneva Fushi are located on the sunset or sunrise side of the island. While both sides have the Maldives’ signature white-sand beaches and crystal clear azure waters, there are a few differences.
Sunset side: For snorkellers
This side has three house reef access points and dolphins are more likely to be spotted in the channel.On this side of the island it is possible to see our neighbouring island, Eydhafushi, approximately 650 metres away. Guests who want more privacy may consider staying on the sunrise side of the island.
Sunrise side: For privacy
Enjoy virtually unimpeded views out to sea, as Maalhos, the closest neighboring island on this side, is just a speck on the horizon. This side is perfect for early risers who want to enjoy the morning tranquillity.
Getting there: Private 40 minute flight from Male airport in the Soneva plane

Air: International and domestic airfare not included. Most international flights arrive into the capital, Male. Once you arrive at the airport in Male, a Zoom Vacations representative will meet you and escort you to the departure lounge of the Island (hotel) you are visiting. You will arrive at your island escape via seaplane or high speed boat, depending on the property, and Zoom Vacations will coordinate all of this for you. If you are visiting more than one property, you will do so via sea plane or high speed boat. Again, Zoom Vacations will arrange all of this for you, so all you have to do is make sure you have packed your passport and sun protection.
Passports: Your valid passport should have at least two blank visa pages and should be valid for at least six months after your planned departure from the country you are visiting.
Note: Passport pages titled "Endorsement Pages" are not visa pages.
Visas: Please note that currently US citizens can acquire a Maldives tourist visa upon arrival. If you are not a US citizen, please contact your nearest Consulate to determine your visa requirements.

When traveling within the Maldives to different properties, you will need proof of a negative PCR test, before arriving at the new property. Zoom Vacations will help arrange this.
