To sum it up: expectations were high – and they were not only met, but exceeded! We had the best family holiday one could ever imagine. You can find tons of pictures and videos and reviews of Soneva Fushi – but they all cannot represent the “feel” once you enter the Soneva seaplane lounge, the Soneva branded seaplane and Soneva Fushi itself. After a long international flight, they don’t let you wait for long in their seaplane lounge – we had the 7:40 am Emirates arrival, received our bags and were in the lounge by 8:30 were we were handed over fresh water melon juice and homemade Nachos with the “Soneva” guacamole. After a very short stop in the lounge our seaplane departetd at 9:00 already (the shortest seaplane waiting time we ever had)– and we were in the resort by 9:30 – 10:30 Soneva time and this is were the real magic began. They invited us for breakfast and even extended breakfast for 3pm for in-villa dining, so that we could directly fully enjoy and relax and wouldn’t have to worry about anything. This is just a little example of how high their service level is. For breakfast our host Majeed brought our desired drinks even before we could think about that we would wish for any new ones. He was such a gem and we miss him already! The breakfast spread is to die for. We didn’t experience all different breakfast rooms up until day three, because there was so much too explore and to taste. As we were fortunate enough to stay 14 nights at Soneva Fushi, we could experience all dining outlets more than once. And they were all fantastic. They all cater for different tastes and cuisines and you will never get bored. There are so many choices – you fear of missing out. And the best: You can order like three appetizers and one main and are not limited to the typical one appetizer, one main, one dessert “rule” that so many resorts in the Maldives insist on. They even encourage you to try a lot, because they want to show you their favourite dishes. We personally love dining and lunch at Out of the Blue – the staff there (as everywhere) was really amazing and we loved having a look at the sunset and enjoying the cooling breeze while having dinner. We were traveling with 3 kids of different ages – and I’m very confident in saying, that they all had the time of their lives at Soneva Fushi. For teenagers they had Max as a Mr. Friday who invited the youngsters every morning to a fun and sporty programme for the day. And for the kids under 12 there was the spectacular kids club. The den itself is really iimpressive with a huge pool and a really fast waterslide that even parents can enjoy. But apart from being impressive in its size – it is the staff the make the den shine and stand out compared to other kids club. Our kids really fell in love with Donna, Soja, Soo, On, Nadoo, Nadi. They were like big sisters and brothers for them and their engagement was on an unmatched level. Donna even organized Henna to decorate our kids with Henna Tattoos, just becaus
