Five nights at Soneva Fushi

On arrival, you’ll disembark your private jet at Malé International Airport and transfer by seaplane to Soneva Fushi, a stunning five-star retreat located in a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve teeming with marine life, where you’ll stay for five nights. Spacious eco-chic villas are dotted through verdant jungle at this boutique hideaway, allowing you to unwind in total seclusion.

You’ll stay in a luxurious villa with a private pool, just steps from the tranquil powder-white beach. Rustically decorated, your nature-inspired duplex villa features an en suite bedroom, open-air garden bathroom, living room, private terrace and outside relaxation area. A butler is on-hand to cater to your every whim and bicycles are provided to explore the castaway island’s unspoilt beauty. As the sun dips below the horizon, watch a classic film under the stars at the open-air beachfront cinema and count Saturn’s rings with an astronomer through the observatory’s state-of-the-art telescope.

Two nights aboard Soneva in Aqua

You’ll be collected from Soneva Fushi to set sail on a magical cruise aboard Soneva in Aqua, a sleek two-cabin yacht that blends laidback luxury with the adventure of a private boat charter. Staying on board for two nights, your bespoke itinerary navigates the turquoise waters of the Baa and Noonu atolls, exploring pastel-coloured coral reefs and deserted islands.

Your floating villa’s luxurious facilities include an elevated sundeck, open-air Jacuzzi and Champagne bar. The spacious master cabin features a sunken glass-bottomed spa tub, where you can unwind as brightly-coloured fish dart through the water below. Combining exploration with blissful relaxation, you can picnic on Robinson Crusoe-style islands, dive among a kaleidoscope of aquatic life, and rejuvenate with holistic treatments and sunrise yoga. At mealtimes, your onboard chef will prepare a personalised menu including the freshest seafood caught that day before you stargaze from the top deck.

Three nights at Soneva Jani

Following your cruise, you’ll be dropped at Soneva Jani, a five-star sanctuary surrounded by a crystal-clear private lagoon in the Noonu Atoll, where you’ll stay for three nights. Opened in October 2016, this desert-island retreat is the newest addition to Soneva’s portfolio in the Maldives and features sustainably-crafted villas dotting a lush jungle fringed by swathes of pure white sand.

You’ll stay in an elegant over-water villa, complete with a waterslide from the top floor into the sparkling lagoon. Spread across two floors, facilities include a private pool, dining sala with roof deck, open-air bathroom and retractable roof for evening stargazing. When you’re not unwinding in this secluded enclave, you can snorkel along pristine coral reefs with the resident marine biologist and enjoy a moonlit movie at the Maldives’ first silent cinema, listening through wireless headphones to avoid disturbing the nesting wildlife. Soneva Jani is also home to a beautiful over-water observatory, where you can gaze at the night sky’s twinkling stars with the resident astronomer.
