Soneva Fushi Reviews

Super good hotel forever

An emerald paradise in the middle of the Indian Ocean offers all that you imagine under an exclusive private holiday. All the villas are amazingly equipped and offer high comfort and beautiful nature around, on which the resort is focused. One of the few places in the Maldives where you can experience astronomical observations of the night sky for the general public. And you will also experience beautiful views of the night sky, the Moon, the Milky Way, and the distant objects of the universe. The island is surrounded by a beautiful lagoon full of amazing possible life. Enjoy fantastic gastronomic evenings in the company of extremely nice people. And one of the top experiences is observing the sky on the sandbank.

Absolutely amazing island Our 4th time here and it’s an absolute dream Amazing for families and children The kids den is brilliant Adonia our barefoot butler was very helpful and the children loved her also All of the staff were fantastic throughout our stay Food was superb Couldn’t recommend this island highly enough

Exceptional experience with service second to none. The complete Soneva experience in barefoot luxury and perfect attentiveness for our family. Our third trip back to Soneva Fushi in 10 years. A week in paradise. Never disappoints. Look forward to our fourth...

It must be said that Soneva resorts have excellent marketing. If you look at the rankings of the top resorts in the Maldives, you will always find Soneva Fushi and Soneva Jani. Of course, the seriousness of these rankings is slightly questionable. Also, many influencers or travel agents who have a free 1-2 night stay promote this resort in an unbelievable way. However, the reality is that the resort is very average compared to others and nothing special. You can trust me because at this moment I have visited 37 resorts in the Maldives and I am not a travel agent. You can easily verify on my Instagram profile anezka_travel. Villas: these are really huge and spacious which is very positive, however the "Crusoe" design may not suit everyone. We were in the Family Villa Suite with Pool, and it was unfortunately very gloomy and depressing inside. The overall equipment has a cheap impression because everything is made in an "eco" spirit. I have nothing against it, but then the price of the stay should correspond to it, because for example the design of the villas Velaa Private, Nautilus, Kudadoo seems much more luxurious and the equipment had to be imported and therefore I can understand the higher price. In contrast, the equipment of villas on Soneva Fushi is produced cheaply and "on the knee". We also tried the water villa, but the entrance to the sea is directly on rocks and dead coral, it is not possible to enter, swim or snorkel. Snorkeling: below average, coral is dead. Yes, you can still see a turtle or a shark or a school of little fish, but there aren't many anemones or live coral. There are better resorts in the Maldives for snorkeling. Beaches: they are nice only on the eastern part of the island, there is no beach on the western part of the island. Food: Japanese and Indian cuisine was excellent, the rest of the restaurants below average. The buffet restaurant does not have a luxurious impression at all. Nice views at breakfast are missing. The prices of soft drinks, wines and cocktails are ridiculously high. It's outrageous. I praise the great ice creams and the "Guilty pleasure" room. Right next to Soneva Fushi in a very close proximity is the local island of Eydhafushi, which is quite disturbing, you are looking at tall transmitters, buildings and strong lighting disturbs at night. We also had a cockroach in our room. Chickens and rabbits run around the resort. The resort is generally untidy. In conclusion: this resort has nothing to do with luxury, I would not recommend it to anyone for this money. The resort makes money mainly because of great marketing, people's lack of information and the villas they have for sale.

Incredible in every way. This was mine and my wife’s third trip to soneva but our second to Fushi. The first time at Soneva was just Jani but then two years ago we did 5 nights at jani and 5 at Fushi and fell in love with Fushi too. To split your time between both is just wonderful Both have so much to offer and are different enough to give you two different experiences. The place, people, food, accommodations….everything just make it simply the most incredible holiday we have ever had and make it a hard place to leave. The staff become friends make you feel special but in such a sincere way. they are genuine in every way and just want you to have a wonderful experience. I don’t believe there is anywhere on the planet more magical than Soneva Jani and count the days until we are back there.

Special Thanx to - Adonia, Nimal, Maqbool, Niranju, Sarakar, Pinto and Sanjeeva Thank you all for making our holiday so comfortable, relaxing and memorable. I will definitely be back❤️ We miss you all xx

Well, well, well... What do we have here? A GEM of a place, that's what! Let me tell you, folks, this establishment is NOT messing around. The service? IMPECCABLE. The amenities? TOP-NOTCH. And don't even get me started on the VIEWS - absolutely BREATHTAKING. Sure, it might not be the cheapest option out there, but y

Soneva Fushi is definitely the best (not one of) hotel I have ever visited. Their villas, service, food, activities, facilities are just the best. Nothing you can complain about. Our barefoot guardian Adonia is so friendly, helpful and kind. She answers all our questions and requests whenever we need her.

listen up, fellow coffee *******! this place is gonna be your new happy place. they've got this amazing in-house roastery, and let me tell you, the smell alone is worth the stay. each room has a high-end espresso machine, and they offer coffee tasting sessions every afternoon. the baristas are like coffee wizards, always ready to whip up your perfect brew. if you're the type who needs a good cuppa to function, you've gotta check this place out.

Was lucky enough to get to visit Soneva Fushi recently, and absolutely loved it. We only got to stay for a couple of nights, but everything was really well organized/coordinated, with smooth transfers and super friendly staff. And got to do a number of activities during our stay (sunset dolphin cruise, ziplining to breakfast...) which were all great and had zero issues or delays. We had a two bedroom villa, which was nice and comfortable. Loved the style/decor. And got to try a number of the restaurants which were all really good too. It's also cool seeing how much they grow themselves in their gardens, and especially how much they are able to recycle and reuse. Everyone was really friendly, and think the people there are actually part of what made the stay even more enjoyable. BB our Barefoot Guardian was great and helped us get everywhere in time. We did get lost a couple of times (maybe a few more signs, or colour coded markers along the paths could help?), but by the end of our stay we were just about used to the main routes. Overall had a great stay, and can definitely recommend going if you get the chance.

One of my all time fav hotels!! Soneva Fushi deserves to be on everyones must stay list! The island itself is divine, incredibly lush, thoughtfully designed & a joy to explore. The experiences on offer here are to an exceptional standard (we loved the sunrise sandbank picnic & turtle snorkel), the spa is GORGEOUS & the food is on another level - the best food in Maldives!!

Soneva Fushi, nestled in the breathtaking Baa Atoll of the Maldives, is more than just a luxury resort; it is a sanctuary of untouched beauty and eco-friendly elegance. From the moment you arrive, the resort envelops you in its natural charm and serene ambiance, making it clear why it's a beloved destination for those seeking tranquility and rejuvenation.
