If the Maldives weren’t already on your bucket list, Soneva Fushi makes a compelling case for adding the island to your post-iso travel plans. The original barefoot luxury resort has introduced eight new Water Retreats to their offerings, riffing off the iconic Water Retreat designs found in Soneva Jani.

Designed with the utmost privacy for guests in mind, the one and two-bedroom water retreats are accessible via a gently curving jetty near Dolphin Beach on the main island at Soneva Fushi, simultaneously making use of the scenic ocean vistas.
Suitable for families, each villa boasts a private pool a curving slide that leads directly into the crystal clear ocean, an alfresco deck fitted with plush sun loungers, a sunken seating area, a retractable ceiling in the master bedroom so guests can stargaze from the comfort of their bed, and Soneva’s signature open-air bathroom, providing direct access to the sea. Meanwhile, a fully stocked pantry, wine fridge, and minibar ensure guests have everything they need for the duration of their stay at Soneva Fushi.
Built with sustainably sourced materials like reclaimed driftwood, the rustic aesthetic and nature-inspired colour palette of light blues, soft greens, and beige hues serve to complement the natural beauty of the villas’ surroundings. Floor-to-ceiling windows invite natural light into the living and dining areas, allowing the panoramic vistas to be enjoyed throughout the villa.
