Our take

I would choose Soneva Fushi for a barefoot-luxury stay in the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The villas sit hidden in dense foliage, each with direct private beach access and the resort's signature outdoor bathrooms, and there is a house reef, diving, a spa and family-friendly amenities. The seaplane from Velana takes roughly 30 minutes and flies by day only. With just 3 reviews, the 9.7 score is an early signal.

  • ✓Take advantage of the complimentary bicycles to explore the island's hidden corners and beaches.
  • ✓Book a villa with an outdoor bathroom to fully experience the unique connection with nature.
  • ✓Engage with your Barefoot Butler to personalize your stay and discover bespoke experiences.

Why guests love it

Our Barefoot Butler became the person we called for everything, from booking a Hanifaru Bay excursion to sorting a late dinner reservation, and having one point of contact took real friction out of traveling with kids. Our outdoor bathroom felt strange for about a day and then became the thing we missed most once home. The bicycles turned getting to breakfast into part of the adventure rather than a walk, and the open-air Cinema Paradiso gave us an easy, low-key evening once the kids were worn out from the reef.
