"A sustainable, barefoot luxury resort in the Maldives offering unique experiences and a focus on environmental conservation." - Devorah Lev-Tov, Laura Begley Bloom
"A five-star resort in the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Maldives, hosting the annual SOUL Festival with mindful movement activities on white-sand beaches and panel discussions with health and wellbeing experts."
"A beacon of barefoot luxury and a pioneer of sustainability for nearly 30 years, Soneva Fushi redefined tourism in the Maldives when it opened in 1995, and earned a spot on T+L’s World’s Best Awards list in 2022 as well as our 2022 Global Vision Awards for their commitment to fighting climate change. The resort continues to surprise and delight guests of all ages at every turn, thanks to intuitive butler service, an open-air cinema, an on-site glass-blowing studio, and unique extras like the world’s first fine-dining zipline experience, where you soar above the treetops ahead of dinner. Soneva Unlimited is one of the most generous all-inclusive packages in the country, covering meals and drinks across nine of the 11 eateries, and offering access to a rotating cast of Michelin-starred chefs, unlimited spa treatments and fitness center access, and experiences like ziplining, diving, and more. Access to The Den — the country’s largest kids' club — is also included, so parents can kick back and relax while kids explore the pirate ship or library." - Sophie Dodd Sophie Dodd Sophie Dodd is a travel, wine and lifestyle writer.

"“Resorts have the responsibility to protect their house reef,” said Arnfinn Oines, of the Soneva Foundation, which supports coral restoration at Soneva Fushi. Guests can tour a lab maintained by the nonprofit Coralive, where coral reproduces and grows in controlled conditions before it’s mature enough to be placed in the sea. Offshore is one of the world’s largest underwater nurseries that use mineral accretion technology, or MAT, a weak electrical current that causes limestone to collect on frames, which encourages coral to grow up to three times faster." - Betsy Andrews Betsy Andrews Betsy Andrews is an award-winning journalist with over two decades of experience writing about food, drink, and travel.

"A sustainable luxury resort known for being family-friendly with the country's largest kids club and complimentary rooms dedicated to ice cream, chocolates, and meat and cheese." - Travel + Leisure Editors
