Soneva Resorts

Inspiring a lifetime of rare experiences.
We are Soneva, creators of luxurious and sustainable resorts. We are a thriving community working hand in hand with the environment to craft beautiful, beyond-bespoke experiences where discovery is a way of life. The original barefoot luxury resorts in the Maldives and Thailand, dedicated to sustainability and unique experiences.

“Soneva has been synonymous with wellness since its conception in 1995 . . . Such medical facilities may seem incongruous in a luxurious Maldivian resort, but with its island set up, the archipelagic nation could be the most perfect destination for a wellness journey. With the sublime natural beauty and weeks spent in a single resort, there’s time to truly rest, track progress and heal.”
