Soneva Fushi  

On Konfunadhoo Island in Baa Atoll, Maldives — a secluded beach resort a short boat hop from Nelivaru Finolhu (about 1.9 miles). Close to nearby islands like Hibalhidoo and Kihaadhuffaru, this family-friendly getaway is set on its own stretch of sand for private-pool villa escapes.

Seventy-one individually decorated rooms and villas blend rustic luxury with modern touches. Many units feature fireplaces, private pools, private balconies or patios, down comforters and Egyptian cotton sheets. In-room perks include sofa beds, flat-screen TVs and DVD/CD players; bathrooms often have separate tubs and showers with jetted tubs and rainfall showerheads. Villa-style rooms add private garden bathrooms and sitting areas.

Pamper at the spa with massages, body treatments and facials, or soak up sun on a private beach and by the outdoor pool. A 24-hour health club, diving club, sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi keep activity levels high. Facilities also include a library, ping-pong, picnic and BBQ areas, concierge service, tour desk, complimentary Wi‑Fi and free babysitting — perfect for family-friendly stays. Expect beach-bar vibes and sea-breeze mornings.

A business center supports meetings, with conference space and at least one meeting room. Express check-in and express check-out streamline arrivals and departures.

Dine across ten restaurants, including Mihiree Mitha for international cuisine, plus three coffee shops/cafes. Sip cocktails at the beach bar or one of two bars/lounges. 24-hour room service and snack options keep things easy — expect a mix of international and local flavors.
