In addition to this, both Bitcoin and Ethereum can be utilized for the Soneva Villa Ownership scheme as well, ensuring that your holiday getaway in the tropics is still catered for.
With the vision of expanding the scope of luxury travel, Soneva has joined with cryptocurrency payments solutions provider TripleA and payment platform provider, Pomelo Pay to extend its payment options. TripleA is a licensed cryptocurrency solutions provider and brings with them the security of making crypto transactions without the risk of price volatility.

Although the Bitcoin and Ethereum payments are non-refundable, credits can be applied in adherence to Soneva’s adjustable Payment and Cancellation Policy first adopted during the Covid-19 pandemic.
While speaking about this game-changing improvement to the resort, Chief Financial Officer and Deputy CEO of Soneva, Bruce Bromley remarked that Soneva have always strived to be the leading pioneer of the Hospitality industry and therefore the introduction of cryptocurrencies as a payment method is another example of providing international guests with easy payment options from different parts of the world.
Cryptocurrencies have become a global phenomenon in the past few years with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin growing in popularity among international markets as well. Deemed as the future of currency, many service and hospitality providers are also onboarding cryptocurrencies as a payment method and Soneva is no exception to this new trend. With four resorts to its name, in Maldives and Thailand Soneva embraces the slow life concept and curate unique experiences with nature at its core.
