Sunset page: For snorkelers
On this side there are three accesses to the house reef and it is more likely to see dolphins in the channel. On this side of the island it is possible to see the neighboring island Eydhafushi, which is about 650 meters away.
Sunrise side: For more privacy
Enjoy an almost unobstructed view of the sea, as Maalhos, the nearest neighboring island on this side, is just a speck on the horizon. This side is ideal for early risers who want to enjoy the morning calm.
Board:
Exploring eleven culinary spots is an adventure in itself, with iconic culinary experiences that guests return to again and again, and an ever-changing selection of Michelin-starred guest chefs. Discover an exquisite selection of wines from around the world in the bar and wine cellar, and indulge in the complimentary chocolate, ice cream, cheese and charcuterie boards.
Wellness:
Rebalance mind, body and spirit at Soneva Soul. Here, millennia of healing wisdom combine with cutting-edge science and innovation.
The two-story wellness complex is surrounded by the lush jungle of the island and inspired by its tranquil environment. It invites you to enjoy the beauty of nature as you rejuvenate, rest and relax. Built around a central water feature, stepping stones and walkways connect the first floor reception area and treatment rooms to a modern beauty room, Ayurvedic consultation and treatment room, flotation tank and retail store. Sound capsules with meditative music and aroma capsules with blends of atomized essential oils allow you to relax or recharge your batteries before or after your treatment. There are three more consultation and treatment rooms on the upper floor.
Relax with Ayurvedic remedies, yoga, a wide range of massages, body treatments and beauty services, vitamin therapy, fitness training, mindfulness and energy work. The resident Ayurvedic doctor is available for complimentary consultations, diagnosing your dosha and providing lifestyle recommendations to help you regain your balance, while resident therapists develop customized treatments based on your wellness needs.
Activities:
Magical experiences are designed to create unforgettable memories. Take a zipline through the rainforest to dine in the treetops, snorkel with an experienced marine biologist on the house reef, swim with manta rays in Hanifaru Bay, or be whisked away by speedboat to a picnic in your own island retreat.
Kids:
The island is a natural paradise for children, and its own playground is the largest in South Asia (as big as six tennis courts!). Your kids have free access to two pools, a water slide, and rooms for dress-up, Legos, music, and more. Everything is supervised by qualified childcare professionals. Older children and teens also have access to the Soneva Academy, where they can take advantage of the knowledge and experience of our Sonevians.
