In the know
Also need to know:
Each villa has its very own Barefoot Butler to look after guests’ every need. Craving a refill from the ice-cream parlour? Just ask. With clear skies and hardly any light pollution, you’ll get spectacular views of the starry night from the resort’s telescope-equipped observatory.
Packing tips:
It’s more about what not to pack: for a truly blissed-out castaway experience, leave the phone charger at home. And don’t bother with shoes – no one on the island wears them.
Dress code:
Bare feet and a dab of Nuxe oil on the collarbone – the resort’s casual-chic vibe extends to its restaurants.
Mr and Mrs Smith reviews
Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this eco-chic hotel in the Maldives and unpacked their snorkels and sarongs, a full account of their barefoot luxury break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside/postcard from Soneva Fushi in the Maldives…
Driftwood, billowing mosquito nets, a shower nestled under palm trees. A stretch of soft white sand, a hammock, sheltering walls of untouched jungle, and then a slice of translucent turquoise ocean. This is it: the stripped-down luxury of boutique hotel Soneva Fushi, lost somewhere on a private island in the Maldives’ Baa Atoll. Dotted along the coastline, the romantic and secluded indoor-outdoor villas are the perfect setting to play out Robinson Crusoe fantasies, but with the convenience of a 24-hour butler to fulfill every whim and fancy. There’s a whole playground of lush greenery, unspoilt coral reefs and fresh-from-the-net beach-side feasts to enjoy, and a lavishly indulgent Six Senses spa to soothe aching muscles and sun-kissed skin. At night, popcorn and tropical cocktails are served at the open-air cinema, but the world-weary might just want to wander back to their villa for the island’s most spectacular show: a star-studded sky stretching over the gently lapping waters of the Indian Ocean, miles and miles away from any worry.

Dining information
Restaurant:
With chunky wooden furniture set right on the beach, Mihiree Mitha (meaning “Here it is”) is the laid-back setting for a leisurely breakfast or lunch with your toes in the sand. The breakfast buffet is a generous affair of just-baked pastries, home-made jams, and egg-cooking stations; at lunch it transforms into a grazing feast with barbecue, stir fry, and salad stations, as well as wood-fired pizzas and a fresh pasta bar. High over the jungle canopy and open to the sea breeze, Fresh in the Garden’s daily-changing dinner menu uses only local produce and the fresh fish, prepared with Maldivian sambals and garden herbs. If you like to keep your options open, take your pick of Down To Earth's nightly buffet. Dinner at Sobah is a dining experience to remember; set on an uninhabited island 15 minutes away from the resort by boat, chef Soabh serves traditional Maldivian fare with modern flare and dinner is followed by digestifs and star-gazing with the hotel's in-house astronomer. Overwater restaurant Out of the Blue hovers above the crystal clear Indian Ocean on wooden stilts and is open daily for lunch. A rotating parade of 30 top-tier chefs guest star throughout the year, and the diverse menu includes grilled seafood, teppanyaki, wood-fired pizzas, fresh sushi and secret chef menus. Work up an appetite with a few rounds on this split-level platform’s slide, and lounge about one of the hammocks with a citrusy cocktail after your internationally inspired lunch.
Top Table:
If dining under a star-speckled sky isn’t quite romantic enough, the hotel can also set up your very own dining nook on the island’s sandbank.
Last Orders:
10.30pm. Fresh in the Garden is closed on Tuesdays and Fridays. Sobah's is open two nights a week. The bars close when the last guest leaves.
Room Service:
In-villa dining can be ordered round the clock from any of the restaurant menus. Breakfast can also be served in your villa at any time of day.
Hotel Bar:
While the night away at By the Bar, with its large cushions right on the sand and deep comfy wooden seats and tables with backgammon or chess boards built into the wood. The barman conjures heady concoctions using home-made spirits such as damson gin and passion fruit vodka. With its cushioned hammocks strung right over the water, Bar(a)bara is the perfect place for a sundowner: grab an organic cocktail and watch the dolphins’ frolics silhouetted against the setting sun.
