Soneva Fushi Resort, the first "Robinson Crusoe" style hideaway in the Maldives, is set on the privately owned, uninhibited, tropical paradise island of Kunfunadhoo.

Each villa has the luxuries found in the best hotels. However, whilst offering all these modern day facilities, the utmost care has been given to make the resort environment-friendly, and to reflect the dream of a Robinson Crusoe experience. Thus, the hairdryer is hidden in the drawer of a coconut wood desk; the minibar, safe, and quadraphonic hi-fi are concealed behind rattan; the TV and VCR are delivered in a water hyacinth basket.

The Villas are placed so that your very own stretch of white sand beach is just a few steps away. There is dense vegetation in between each villa creating patios and gardens for secluded enjoyment. A favorite pastime is to lie looking out to sea contemplating the beauty of nature. Each bathroom opens onto a private garden. In the Crusoe Villas, an open staircase leads to the upstairs bedroom.

Six Senses is a Resort and Spa Management and Development Company established in 1995 , which owns the award-winning Soneva Fushi Resort in the Maldives. The company also manages resorts under the names Soneva, Evason and Evason Hideaways stretching from the Maldives, Thailand and Vietnam. A key element of the Six Senses properties is the Six Senses Spas, offering a wide range of holistic wellness, rejuvenation and beauty treatments for "Balancing Senses". For an indication of the spa philosophy, the Six Senses Spa pyramid logo represents the foundation and creation of the experience--formed by the three primary senses of sight, sound and touch. The second stage builds upon the experience by appealing to the more acute senses of taste and smell-- and the apex symbolizes the unique sensory experience of a Six Senses Spa.

HOW TO GET THERE:

Soneva Fushi Resort, the first "Robinson Crusoe" style hideaway in the Maldives, is set on the privately owned, uninhibited, tropical paradise island of Kunfunadhoo. Soneva Fushi is situated in the Baa Atoll, north of Male' Atoll. There are 19 atolls that stretch over 800 kilometers made up of the 1,190 islands which are the Maldives.

The island is accessible by a scenic 25 minute float plane flight Male', the capital of the Republic of Maldives.

Kunfunadhoo at 1,400 meters long and almost 400 meters wide, is one of the largest islands in the Maldives. Apart from the crystal clear waters, for which the Maldives is world-renowned, the island's unusually rich vegetation provides a unique nature experience. Villas and rooms are scattered along the beach and tucked into the lush greenery, providing the ultimate in privacy.

The sheer size of the island allows an enjoyable exploration by bicycle or an energetic run on one of Soneva Fushi's hidden jogging trails. The absence of major hotel development in the Baa Atoll leaves one spoilt for choice of desert islands to picnic on. Most of the dive sites you will explore are new discoveries made by Soneva Fushi Resort.
