LXRY! HOTELS IN

MALDIVES

The Maldives is a nation of islands in the Indian Ocean, that spans across the equator. The country is comprised of 1192 islands that stretch along a length of 871 kilometers. While the country covers an area of approximately 90,000 square kilometers, only 298 square kilometers of that is dry land. The islands are grouped into a double chain of 26 atolls.
The country’s unique geography mesmerizes the visitor. Reefs that offer bands of color, tiny jewel-like islands rimmed with the whitest of soft sand surrounded by the clearest shallow waters that one can imagine. Only 200 of the islands are inhabited, and a select few on each of the atolls are resorts and some of the islands are used for industry and agriculture.
The beauty of the Maldives is not only above the water. The Maldives is home to about five percent of the planet’s reefs that come with an explosion of color contributed by soft and hard corals that form them. The reefs are home to a thousand species of fish. Lured by the rich nutrients that flow in with the currents, large pelagic fishes such as manta rays and whale sharks also make the Maldives their home.

our LXRY! hotel selection

We have some criteria before we can call a hotel a LXRY! Selection Hotel. We want to be surprised, we need luxury and hospitality at a high level, we love the quality of food and the rooms, we think the location is super important, and….we want to memorize the hotel for a lifetime! So you will not find basic chain hotels that look similar in all countries but truly found local gems that are different and memorable.

Maldives

AN ENCHANTING MALDIVES LUXURY RESORT SANCTUARY

Surrounded by nothing but a turquoise lagoon which melts into sapphire blue, the Maldives luxury resort island of Anantara Kihavah and its pure white sands rise up out of the ocean like a mirage. 

For centuries, this was where Arab traders sailing to the Far East took shelter; a lush paradise blessed by coconut, papaya, and mango trees. Navigating archipelago to archipelago by the stars, the seafarers were also drawn by the riches of the ocean surrounding the island – where a prehistoric volcano sank back into the depths, leaving blooming corals within a house reef and a wealth of lagoon fish.

Wishing to keep the pristine nature of the island intact, not one tree has been moved – as evidenced by the villas growing up around them. The design pays homage to the seafarers of old, fusing the Indian Ocean, Arab and Portuguese motifs with indigenous materials.

Luxury Villas in the Maldives

Inspiring a Lifetime of Rare Experiences

If ‘luxury’ is defined as a rarity, then in today’s society that means peace, time, and space. At Soneva, unique experiences are in keeping with their interpretation of luxury. Real luxury is about feeling the sand between your toes or enjoying dinner under a canopy of a billion stars. It is about reconnecting with oneself and the natural world, and so the experiences they create for guests are as far removed from the urban environment as possible. They intend to provide real luxury and rare experiences that strike a chord in guests’ hearts.

All of the luxurious overwater and island villas are designed to offer maximum space, privacy, and unforgettable views. The villas are split between Chapter One, the original, iconic offering, and the newly launched Chapter Two – you can view their location on the resort map here.

Chapter One: Water Retreats & Island Retreats

Chapter Two: Water Reserves & Island Reserves

Guests who want more privacy may consider staying on the sunrise side of the island.

Sunrise side: For privacy

Enjoy virtually unimpeded views out to sea, as Maalhos, the closest neighbouring island on this side, is just a speck on the horizon. This side is perfect for early risers who want to enjoy the morning tranquillity.

Discover all of the dining destinations and experiences available at Soneva Fushi and on the untouched islands surrounding us. The Hosts are happy to customise each experience for a special occasion, celebration, or simply just because. Dine high above the gardens, where the aromas of the herbs waft up from below. The central open kitchen gives you front-row seats to the action. Choose to sit under cover or beneath the starry night sky.

Gert van Loenen Jr.: “From the water plane flight to the island to the goodbye on the pier, our stay here was unforgettable. Total luxury on your own Robinson Crusoe island.”
