Here you can relax, letting your worries melt away in the sun, participate in water sports, use the wonderful Six Senses Spa which offers a variety of rejuvenating, pampering and holistic wellness treatments to calm mind and body, go on nature walks to tucked away picnic areas conveying a Robinson Crusoe atmosphere, wander through nature with discovery excursions on the resort island and neighbouring island villages with the soft white sand underfoot continuously. and much, much more. This place will fulfil your most romantic dreams.
When approaching Soneva Fushi by air, the unfolding view of your final destination will take your breath away. You will see atolls in the turquoise sea, fringed by sand giving way to amazing coral reefs guarded by lagoons.
The décor of the resort preserves the rustic theme of a designer tropical island. There are 65 rooms and villas, all with garden bathrooms, as well as 13 now having the additional delight of a private pool.
