Soneva Fushi

Setting the blueprint for eco-luxe style, Soneva Fushi is an absolute beauty. The start of your Maldivian journey, you’ll have four nights here to settle in and enjoy the delights of island living. Whether you choose an overwater bungalow, or a villa set back in the forested fringes of the island, you’ll find a low-key yet hugely comfortable design that is perfectly in keeping with its natural surroundings.

Accompanying you at Soneva Fushi will be your own Mr Friday, a friendly butler whose aim is that you have the happiest holiday possible. Mr Friday can arrange snorkelling with mantas, Tibetan hot stone massages, lunch on a deserted beach, or even an overnight stay in a Bedouin tent on a private sandbank. When hunger calls, dine at a Japanese sushi counter, up above the organic gardens or graze all day in the ice cream bar, chocolate room or in the gourmet larder.

Soneva in Aqua

For the second part of your journey you will board Soneva’s luxury yacht, Aqua which has room for four adults and two children. A vision in white with a large billowing sail, Soneva Aqua will be your home for the next three nights, accompanied by a captain, sous chef, Mr Friday, massage therapist and dive master. A spacious vessel, the yacht’s master suite even has a glass-bottomed bathtub which allows marine gazing while you bathe.

Sailing from the Baa Atoll to the Noonu Atoll, the yacht will drift through sensational ocean scenery. Asides from stunning sunrises and sunsets you may well see dolphins alongside the yacht, or snorkel around mantas and turtles. Depending on your whim, you could even stop for a surf at world-class spot Gaidhoo. Mealtimes are taken on deck and the upper deck makes a perfect spot for an al fresco sleep under the stars.

Soneva Jani

Known as one of the most Instagrammable hotels on the planet, you won’t fail to be impressed as you sail into Noonu Atoll, and the archipelago of islands that you will call home at Soneva Jani. Its castle-like overwater villas are palatial indeed, and the whimsical slide that circumnavigates the villas into the Indian Ocean is nothing but fun for young and old.

Located on one of the larger islands in the Maldives, and coming with its own lagoon, means that Soneva Jani is ideal for water sports. You can get active here paddle-boarding, kite-surfing or sea-bobbing around the ocean. On land, the boardwalk stretches for miles, making it a fun cycle ride. If this sounds too much like hard work, make a beeline for the spa for Ayurvedic therapy. Before you know it, your Maldivian odyssey will be coming to close, and you’ll leave with your memory full of the beautiful colours of this tropical paradise.

Summary

The Maldives are undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places in the world, and on this trip, you’ll have the chance to experience two sensational rustic-luxe abodes with the addition of a luxury sail through iridescent waters. Heaven on earth.

“Soneva is a very special brand which appeals to those who appreciate barefoot chic and travelling responsibly. This journey, which combines three superb Soneva products, is made for our Soneva devotees.”
