Ulasan Soneva Fushi

Super good hotel forever

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.

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.

Soneva was an amazing experience. We have been to other 5 star resorts in the Maldives, but this was so special. It has this familiar feeling, you feel completely at home. The nature is beautiful. The coral reefs was beautiful. The snorkeling was amazing. Great scuba diving club. Special dining experiences. The staff was incredible. So friendly and service minded and yet you felt at ease and at home. We just loved,loved, loved it, and we will be back next year, and the year after….

Simply incredible. No words can describe this place. Our second time at Fushi and so nice to see the same people. It is paradise on earth and there is no review that could do it justice. We had a water villa this time and it was lovely. Thank you to everyone there who makes this place so very very special!

I wanted to extend my deepest gratitude for the extraordinary experience I had during my recent stay at Soneva Fushi Island. The natural beauty of the island, combined with the impeccable service and dedication to sustainability, left me truly awestruck. Each moment was filled with wonder and relaxation, and I cannot thank you enough for providing such a blissful retreat. Soneva Fushi will always hold a special place in my heart, and I look forward to returning soon.

Soneva Fushi is the best resort on this planet, period. I felt the same way after our first visit last year and our second trip has only solidified this feeling. We’ve already booked for 2025. As mentioned, our last stay was so amazing we had to come back, this time with our 6-month old daughter who we travelled all the way from Canada re-experience this magic island. We stayed for 8 nights in December and arrived from a 6-night remarkable stay at Soneva Jani that we thought would be hard to top. I’ve decided to focus my review on the unique and truly memorable aspects to our stay. Our biggest concern going forward is how the stay we just had could ever be topped in the future. Warning, long review incoming. Here were the most amazing aspects of our stay: 1/ Villa 10 “The post card view room” - We were upgraded to a 2-bedroom Crusoe Suite with a pool. This room was absolutely amazing and had a ‘post card’ style view looking out to the water, which was framed by palm trees and a hamock. After having an incredible stay at Soneva Jani staying over the water, our beach style villa at Soneva Fushi was such a nice compliment. Some things that really stood out: totally secluded jungle vibe, expansive private beach area, private gym and steam room, the outdoor washroom was insane, and the double story doors that looked like they’ve been designed to perfectly match the trees that surround the villa. Specifically with our daughter, the extra space of the 2-bedroom was amazing and the large couches inside and outside gave us ample room to have her roll around. This villa will be in our memory until we get the chance to come back!!! 2/ Michelin Star Dinner Journey at Out of the Blue… WOW!! We had the opportunity to try an experimental dinning experience and visit 3 Michelin star chefs at different locations within Out of the Blue. This was the best dinning experience best of our lives! We got to experience: So Hands by Chef Akira for 5 Omakase courses, Once Upon a Table with Chef Jacob Holsmtrom for 3-courses and finished of with So Bespoke with Chef Hiroshi for an additional 4-course at the breathtaking tapianki table. Each meal was unique and remarkable. This is something that I would highly recommend you ask to do if you get the chance, you will not be disappointed! 3/ The Private Sandbank Breakfast - Soneva will set you up with any breakfast your heart desires and leaves you to enjoy the sunrise and breakfast in private. The sandbank is a magical location and to have gotten the chance to see the sunrise and have breakfast alone was incredibly romantic, peaceful, and beautiful. 4/ The Dolphins Sunset cruise - After an unsuccessful Dolphin cruise at Soneva Jani due to weather, we had an amazing experience on perfectly calm waters - it was another simply magical experience where we saw dozens of dolphins swim below the boat. We also got to enjoy sparking wine for a 10/10 sunset, which added to the experience. I will add both times we’ve been to Sone

doubtfully I can add much to all the glorious reviews, but this place is one of a kind. unfortunately most of 5* hotels see luxury as one gets to order a montrachet and sit through a long michelin dinner and the bathroom is tiled with carrara marble. on top of it they try to give some motto of "where dreams happen" or smth along these lines, but ultimately it just some nonsense you paid a marketing department to create and it means nothing. soneva couldn't be further away from that. when they say "home away from home" they truly mean it. the word "no" just doesn't exist. any request that I've ever heard was met with genunine enthusiasm. the guest is the focus. period. and this is not intrusive at all. you can do everything or do nothing and just relax. it is also very visible that the staff is very well looked after and that sustainability is a core value. this is my 7th time at soneva andI'm definitely coming back.

Absolutely a great experience at Soneva Fushi! We stayed at a beach villa with direct access to the most perfect white sand beach. The staffs were extremely attentive (our butler was always accessible via whatsapp group) and thoughtful. And almost every requests and bookings can be customizable according to your own liking. All the restaurants were yummy and obviously the all day long dessert/chocolate/ice cream room was one of the highlights as we basically became kids during our stay on the island. Ziplining through jungle forest to get to our dinner was quite an experience. Its the perfect place where rustic island lifestyle meets impeccable hospitality!

SONEVA FUSHI resort was above all expectations the staff treat you like family and go above and beyond to make sure your trip is perfect. The food is amazing and chef’s are world class.you can do as much as you want or just chill by the pool or beach.

Staying here was an amazing experience, and I'm confident it was the right decision. The four nights I spent here were filled with happiness. The service was exceptional, and every staff member knew my needs, ensuring I never felt uncomfortable. It was a time of peace and joy

I know it’s only January 2 but I have already had the dinner that is going to be hard to beat in 2024!FRESH IN THE GARDEN at Soneva Fushi is incredible! The tastes ,the substance the waiters are on a different planet! I will do my full Soneva Fushi review when I leave but so far it’s been fantastic. Which is more than I can say about the weather!
