Soneva Fushi, Baa Atoll
The blueprint for barefoot luxury: no shoes, no news.
Soneva Fushi is the blueprint for barefoot luxury in the Maldives: no shoes, no news, just a forested island ringed by white sand in the Baa Atoll. Its huge villas, personal butlers, observatory and outdoor cinema make it unlike anywhere else.
The Maldives for families and for anyone who cannot sit still.
Where you’ll be
The island is in Baa Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, about a half-hour seaplane flight from Malé. Hanifaru Bay, famous for manta rays in season, is nearby.
The stay
Villas are vast, with private pools, and the water retreats even have slides into the lagoon. There is an observatory for stargazing, an outdoor cinema, a kids' club and some of the best food in the Maldives.
