Soneva Fushi
Baa Atoll, Maldives
Why Soneva Fushi is one of The World's Best 100 Resorts 2026.
Soneva Fushi still defines barefoot sophistication in the Maldives. Its villas are hidden rather than displayed, its dining has unusual depth and its experiences—observatory nights, private sandbanks, marine discovery—invite curiosity rather than passive indulgence. Decades of evolution have only sharpened the idiosyncrasy that made the island matter.
