Heard of Chuck Bass from the popular series Gossip Girl? The talented actor and musician won’t be found anywhere else right now. He’s staying in a luxurious resort hidden from the rest of the world, an imaginative hideaway located in the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. His present home shared with his girlfriend sits on the water, surrounded by nothing but the ocean blues and a tropical island paradise.
The Soneva Fushi is home to the world’s largest 1- and 2-bedroom over-water villas. These villas feature many of Soneva’s signature elements, such as a water slide that leads directly into the open sea below; large outdoor bathrooms; and a master bedroom with a retractable roof to allow for stargazing right from bed. You’ll find daybeds on the pool deck and a catamaran net right above the sea.
With 63 beachfront villas and 8 water retreats, a variety of dining options and activities, Soneva Fushi leaves no guests left unsurprised. You can dine high above the gardens, where the aromas of the herbs waft up from below. Or you could sit right in front of the ocean for a delicious meal while the sun sets turning the blues into golds.
Bring a bit of art into your laid-back vacay with a glassblowing class. Embrace the castaway life and try Sonu’s favourite – lunch on a desert island prepared by your personal chef. Get into the local life by embarking on an ocean adventure with Soneva Fushi’s Maldivian fisherman, Rocket, and his family to learn how to fish sustainably with the Fishing is a Family Matter experience. On a castaway retreat like this, you don’t run out of things to explore.
