The iconic hotel brand aims to create unforgettable, innovating, and enlightening experiences in the planet&#8217;s most pristine surroundings. The ethos and values it is run by are what sets Soneva on different footing as compared to other high-end hotel brands. At the moment, Soneva has 4 ultra-luxe properties in its portfolio:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.soneva.com\/soneva-fushi\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=ext_link&amp;utm_campaign=lux_trvl_xprt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Soneva Fushi<\/a> in the Maldives, where guests have included Madonna and Sir Paul McCartney (read my review <a href=\"http:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2016\/02\/17\/review-soneva-fushi\/\">here<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.soneva.com\/soneva-in-aqua\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=ext_link&amp;utm_campaign=lux_trvl_xprt\">Soneva In Aqua<\/a>, the first floating villa in the Maldives (review to be published soon).<\/li>\n<li>Soneva Jani in the Maldives (opening later this year).<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.soneva.com\/soneva-kiri\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=ext_link&amp;utm_campaign=lux_trvl_xprt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Soneva Kiri<\/a> in Thailand, by far the best luxury resort in all of Asia (read my review <a href=\"http:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2015\/06\/17\/soneva-kiri\/\">here<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I have to warn you though that once you have lived a holiday at a Soneva resort, all your other trips will pale in comparison.

SONEVA FUSHI RESIDENCES<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Maldives 1190 coral islands barely break the surface of the Indian Ocean along the Equator in an archipelago of 26 atolls. Located in the pristine Baa Atoll \u2013 a UNESCO&#8217;s marine conservation heritage site about sixty nautical miles northwest of the capital Male &#8211; Soneva Fushi&#8217;s home of Kunfunadho Island is one of the Maldives&#8217; largest, being\u00a0\u00a0just under 1.5km (0,9 mi) long and 0,5 km (0,3 mi) wide. Everything about Soneva Fushi feels right, the exotic palm trees, the verdant jungle, the pristine reef, the dolphins at sunset, the impossibly white sand and the crystal clear water. For the first time in Maldavian history, you can stake a claim on your own corner of paradise by owning one of only a handful of Private Residences that are currently being built on the island. Residential villas and their plots sprawl up to 8,000 square meters, each with uninterrupted views over their own stretch of private beach out to the picture perfect horizon. These magnificent homes are built with the owner&#8217;s utmost privacy in mind, so you won&#8217;t have to worry about the neighbors.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Website<\/strong>:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.soneva.com\/residences\/soneva-fushi-residences\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=ext_link&amp;utm_campaign=lux_trvl_xprt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Soneva Fushi Residences<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>Accolades<\/strong>:\u00a0Soneva Fushi\u00a0features in my\u00a0lists of the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2014\/05\/12\/top-10-best-resorts-in-the-maldives\/\">top 10 best luxury resorts in the Maldives<\/a>\u00a0and the <a href=\"http:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2016\/02\/08\/top-10-the-worlds-best-family-hotels\/\">best family hotels in the world<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Review<\/strong>: click <a href=\"http:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2016\/02\/17\/review-soneva-fushi\/\">here<\/a> to read my review of Soneva Fushi.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Contact<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/contact-me\/\">contact me<\/a> to get more information on\u00a0the Soneva Fushi Residences.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"SONEVA FUSHI, the Maldives&#039;
