The best rates are the ones you find on their website. Alternatively, you can always make the reservation through a Virtuoso travel agent (which will cost you the same but includes some benefitis, such as a free lunch): http://www.classictravel.com/hotels/soneva-fushi-resort-maldives?agent=LuxTravelExpert. To make the trip more affordable (and still enjoy nice weather), consider travelling just before or after the high season. I can always offer you a confirmed free villa upgrade at the time of bookinh (through my Soneva contacts), but in that case you need to send me an email (info@turkeyalwan.net) before proceeding with any booking. Kind regards

I visited in November 2015. It was a great trip and I went the budget route except at the end when I stayed at Shangri-La Al Husn. Disappointment barely expresses my stay. I do not recommend Al Husn. See my review – http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g4283716-d1216393-r332437538-Shangri_La_Barr_Al_Jissah_Resort_Spa_Al_Husn-Barr_Al_Jissah_Muscat_Governorate.html#CHECK_RATES_CONT

I love your blog and all the great advice….keep it up.

Thank you for your kind comment! I am looking forward to my Alila Jabal Akhdar and Park Hyatt Tokyo stay. I loved your Alila trip report and cannot wait to write a trip report about it myself 🙂

Great that you’re headed to Alila Jabal Akhdar, as we’ve commented about before. I loved its serenity. I just returned from Kyoto and Tokyo — spent NYE atop the Park Hyatt and had a wonderful evening. Kyoto is incredible — so much culture to explore. Hope you have a year of wonderful travel experiences!
