Recently, Soneva has announced that it plans to launch a SCIE:NCE Center in the Maldives. The name expands for Soneva Centre for Island Ecosystems and is set to be located onsite at Soneva Fushi. The design is planned to have bits and pieces similar to that of Soneva Art and Glass Studio.

This newest addition will offer great guest experiences, as the SCIE:NCE Center meets all the answers that guests have been seeking in relation to island eco-systems.

The center will provide learning opportunities on very interesting topics, that revolve around the subjects of marine and terrestrial biology, and astronomy, as well as Soneva’s conservation efforts.

The little guests are sure to be intrigued by these new concepts and Soneva hopes that the center will set a good example for the next generation to be more involved in conserving nature and its beings. Children and teenagers will also be able to sign up for online courses and the center will also perform through means of an online learning platform.

Sonu Shivdasani, Founder and CEO of Soneva, says that with the world being exposed to remote learning, the resort has seen a lot of interest from children on online learning, and so hopes to develop week-long classes that children can subscribe to when they are at the resorts or subscribe to digitally if they are unable to physically visit Soneva. He believes that in a couple of years, this center will stand as one of the greatest intitiatives done in Maldives.

Dr. Bart Knols has been appointed to oversee terrestrial and marine biology, astronomy, and conservation efforts at Soneva resorts. He says that he feels much privileged to be a part of Soneva and hopes to accomplish putting a good use of scientific endeavor in society and addressing key issues reflected in the sustainable development goals
