Soneva Fushi

Soneva · Island resort · Kunfunadhoo island, Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve

The resort that invented Maldivian barefoot luxury, opened in 1995 on a densely forested island inside the Baa Atoll Biosphere Reserve. Villas are large, rustic-grand and hidden in the jungle; the experience is built around food, astronomy and the reef rather than spectacle. A professional observatory, an open-air cinema, chocolate and ice-cream rooms, and a 500-bin cellar define the rhythm.

Why we recommend it

The original and still the benchmark for understated, nature-immersed luxury, twenty minutes from the world's greatest manta aggregation.
