Almost 30 years on from the opening of Soneva Fushi, Sonu Shivdasani and Eva Malmström’s first hotel, in the Maldives, Soneva Secret promises a whole new level of privacy. For a start, the resort has an entire atoll at its disposal. And Shivdasani promises there are “zero mosquitoes. Even in the beach villas. You can open up the retractable roof above the bed to stargaze at night.” (Mosquito nets are provided for the sceptical.)
Each of the 14 immense villas — six on the beach, seven on stilts over the sea, two of them accessible only by boat — is staffed by a dedicated “barefoot guardian” (Soneva-speak for butler), assistant and chef. But the resort’s USP is its floating Castaway Villa, with 461 sq m of floorspace (though just one bedroom) over two storeys and a curving slide to carry you from its upper deck into the water. It can be towed to one of five anchorages should you desire a subtly different sea view each day. https://archive.ph/hHJaN#selection-2447.0-2463.10
