About Soneva Fushi
Soneva Fushi is recognised as the original barefoot island in the Maldives, offering a private beach and a natural setting where jungle villas blend into the canopy. Overwater retreats provide direct access to the sea, while the resort’s design encourages a slower pace of life amidst lush surroundings.
The property has earned a place on The World's 50 Best Hotels 2025 list at rank 28, a Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star rating for 2026, and a La Liste Top 1000 Hotel ranking for 2026 with a score of 97.5/100. Soneva Fushi is part of the Soneva collection.
Why it stands out
Soneva Fushi is listed for its EMPTYJET tier, private beach, and strong recognition: The World's 50 Best Hotels 2025 (rank 28), Forbes Four-Star 2026, and La Liste Top 1000 2026. Its natural setting and barefoot luxury concept distinguish it within the Maldives.
