We just got back from an unforgettable stay at Soneva Fushi. We chose the resort to celebrate a couple of milestone birthdays and ended up getting engaged during the trip, so it will always be a special place for us. I have traveled all over the world, including many trips to Japan where the hospitality is famous, but the service here was easily the best I have ever experienced. We visited right at the start of the rainy season, but we still got plenty of sunshine and great beach days. The food was spectacular at every single meal, and the whole island has a wonderful, relaxed luxury feel to it. Our Barefoot Butler, Miqdad, completely elevated the entire trip. He was absolutely incredible and took care of our every need before we even had to ask. He made sure our birthdays and our engagement felt completely magical, bringing so much warmth and professionalism to everything he did. If you want a beautiful paradise with amazing dining and truly world class service, I cannot recommend Soneva Fushi enough. Definitely ask for Miqdad if you can. We are already looking forward to going back.

The place is really remarkable. It is the third time for us now, and we are again impressed by it. We arrive, get on a small boat, take of shoes, and feel already good. At the beach waiting for us the same people we already know, turnover here is very low, staff are all people that know guests by name, remember their wishes and offer true kindness. And then we slow down, everything is comfortable and easy, like being on another planet… and yet like being at home. Thank you Ali, Iby, Hassan and all other amazing team members.

We spent five nights at Soneva Fushi with our two boys (7 and 3), and it was everything we hoped it would be. Before arriving I wondered whether it could really live up to the reputation, but within the first day I understood why so many people return. The island is beautiful, but what impressed us most was how relaxed everything felt. There are no shoes, everyone gets around by bike, and after a day or two you genuinely slow down. Our kids absolutely loved The Den. We've stayed at quite a few luxury family resorts over the years and I honestly think it's the best kids' club we've come across. They were excited to go every day, which meant we could actually enjoy a bit of downtime ourselves. The person who really made our trip, though, was our Barefoot Butler, Miqdad. He was friendly, proactive and somehow always seemed to appear just when we needed something. He organised for us to plant a coconut tree during our stay to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and he also surprised our best friends with a birthday celebration on our final night. Our first experience in the Maldives could not have been more memorable, and Soneva Fushi played a huge part in that. We left with wonderful memories, feeling completely refreshed, and already talking about returning one day. Thank you to Miqdad and the entire Soneva team for making our stay so special. We cannot recommend Soneva Fushi highly enough.

An absolute amazing magical place. The natural beauty of the location, the resort and staff are exceptional. Our barefoot butler Miqdad provided the excellent service to make our stay amazing. Everyday was filled with wonder, awe and gratitude. Will be back!

We have just returned from our seventh visit to Soneva Fushi since 2010 and thought we would take a moment to record and update our earlier comments on why this place remain so special to the Walker family in a few short sentences: ......a relatively large, single resort island, with unusually mature and lush vegetation, wild life, both airborne and at ground level, a place to get lost in a little in its maze of sandy pathways on your own bicycle; ......barefoot luxury in beautifully and originally designed villas and places to eat and relax in which melt into the jungle or the sea …. some of the public conveniences are so vast, so gloriously set in their own private open air gardens, that they have to be seen to be believed!) ......a wide variety of Michelin Star quality food, especially but not only Asian, served in rational sized amounts, catering to every possible taste and dietary preference, served in different ambiences across the island; ......many complementary experiences, with special privileges for returning guests, ranging from yoga, exercise and meditation classes, complementary Indian and Sri Lankan cooking lessons from their head chefs, and fascinating tours of their eco recycling centre, vegetable gardens, etc; ......lovely white sand beaches and translucent sea with surely some of the best diving and snorkelling in the world…. renascent populations of mantas, reef sharks and turtles, so many fish….all the colours of the rainbow, the best and most accessible house reefs of the Maldives I would think; ......just a lovely environment to relax in, or be very active if you wish, always some interesting people in residence, no dominant nationality and the staff always smiling with genuine goodwill, ever available but unobtrusive; Every two years or so we set foot back on Soneva Fushi a little anxious in case things might not quite as good, as it is difficult to imagine things getting any better….. and each time the family leaves, rested and reconnected with each other, with a renewed interest in our health, in what we eat, thinking we will be back again soon, as somehow Soneva, at least for us, never loses its freshness or its unique appeal.

We had a two weeks stay in a 1 Bedroom Water Reserve with our two Kids and it was one of the best and most relaxing times we ever had. Just everybody and everything is perfect for us. The relaxed and natural but still very luxurious atmosphere. From the first moment when putting our shoes in a bag to the last goodbye it was a great and unforgettable experience. The variety and quality of the food in the different restaurants paired with the great service you get everywhere is just excellent. The Team from “the Den” was wonderful, making the stay for our kids so unforgettable and varied with exiting activities. Especially a great Thank you to our barefoot butler Shan, who made this stay even better and more unforgettable. He was just so much caring and even for filling wishes we’ve not spoken about. Really “no news no shoes”. What a great time. Thank you Soneva Fushi

Our stay at Soneva Fushi was truly unforgettable. This is a place where luxury is felt not through extravagance, but through absolute harmony with nature, privacy, and an exceptional level of service. From the very first moments, it feels like entering a different world: white sandy beaches, crystal-clear water, breathtaking island nature, and an atmosphere of complete tranquility. The villa was stunning — spacious, cozy, and perfectly integrated into the natural surroundings. We would especially like to highlight the service, where attention to detail is simply outstanding. But the true highlight of our stay was our butler, Miqdad — an incredibly attentive, caring, and genuinely warm person. What touched us most was the way he interacted with our children: with so much kindness, patience, and care, always trying to make them happy and ensure our entire family felt comfortable. Thanks to Miqdad, we felt not just like guests, but truly welcomed and cared for. This is exactly the level of service that makes a vacation It is a place we would love to return to again and again.

Nothing equals this experience!! Have been to five continents and to over 50 countries and have never been this happy! Well done guys. With a special thanks to Kelly & Choco (you are a treasure ❤️❤️❤️)
