An Untouched Island Escape

“Soneva has been synonymous with wellness since its conception in 1995 . . . Such medical facilities may seem incongruous in a luxurious Maldivian resort, but with its island set up, the archipelagic nation could be the most perfect destination for a wellness journey. With the sublime natural beauty and weeks spent in a single resort, there’s time to truly rest, track progress and heal.”

With our expert hosts as your personal guide, we invite you to explore and delight in the possibility of each moment as time melts away and lose yourself in experiences that will stay with you for a lifetime.

If ‘luxury’ is defined as a rarity, then in today’s society that means peace, time and space. At Soneva, our unique experiences are in keeping with our interpretation of luxury. Real luxury is about feeling the sand between your toes or enjoying dinner under a canopy of a billion stars. It is about reconnecting with oneself and the natural world, and so the experiences we create for our guests are as far removed from the urban environment as possible. We intend to provide real luxury and rare experiences that strike a chord in our guests’ hearts.
 

As the first barefoot luxury resort, Soneva has always been ahead of the curve. Today, our family of resorts continues to innovate and is a world leader for guest experiences and sustainability.

Barefoot Luxury
We ask our guests if they would like to remove their shoes when they arrive. Our ‘No News, No Shoes’ philosophy is all about disconnecting from the stresses of daily life and reconnecting with the earth with the sand between your toes.

Sustainability
Sustainability has always been at the heart of Soneva’s ethos, from sourcing sustainable materials and pioneering ‘waste-to-wealth’ practices, to working in partnership with our local communities. We are proudly 100% carbon neutral – find out more about our sustainability initiatives here.

Organic Gardens
Each of our resorts have their own organic gardens. By growing our own fruit, vegetables and herbs, we not only have fresh, delicious ingredients for our restaurants but also reduce our reliance on importing produce over long distances.

SLOW LIFE
Our SLOW LIFE philosophy aims to create unforgettable, enlightening experiences for our guests that illuminate and enrich their lives while treading lightly on the earth.

The Den
The Den children’s zone is a playground for the imagination, where young Sonevians can create, have fun and chill out. Watched over by qualified childminders, it includes a Lego room, dress up areas, learning and reading zones and a music room full of instruments.
