More Soneva Fushi Facts

Soneva Fushi - The Island

Location

The Maldives are made up of 1,190 islands that stretch over 800 kilometres,
from north to south. Soneva Fushi by Six Senses - the first ‘Robinson
Crusoe’ style hideaway in the Maldives - is set on the privately owned,
tropical island of Kunfunadhoo in the Baa Atoll, north of Male’ Atoll. It
lies 64 nautical miles and a scenic 30-minute seaplane flight from the capital
city, Male’.

Concept

Kunfunadhoo at 1,400 metres long and almost 400 metres wide is one
of the largest islands in the Maldives. Apart from the crystal clear waters,
white beaches and tropical climate, for which the Maldives is world
renowned, the island’s unusually rich vegetation creates a unique natural
environment. The sheer size of the island allows enjoyable exploration by
bicycle or on foot.

Accommodations are scattered along the beach and tucked into the lush
greenery, providing personal privacy. Each villa has the luxuries you would
expect, whilst the utmost care and creativity has been given to maintain
the environment and to reflect the Robinson Crusoe experience. Even messages
are delivered in bamboo canisters, demonstrating the resort’s commitment
to “intelligent luxury”.

Kunfunadhoo Island is surrounded by a shallow lagoon enclosed by coral
reef, providing crystal clear turquoise waters, which are ideal for snorkelling
and a wide variety of water sports. Experience the exquisite No
News - No Shoes philosophy of Soneva Fushi.
