Soneva has revealed its newest ultra-luxurious venture: Soneva Secret. Set to debut on 10 January 2024, in the secluded Haa Dhaalu Atoll of the Maldives, this 14-villa resort provides bespoke service and exclusive experiences within an unspoilt natural environment.
The resort features just 14 of beach and overwater villas, including unique options like the lagoon Crusoe Villas and the Maldives' inaugural floating villa, Castaway. With expansive master suites offering sliding roofs for stargazing and interconnected bedrooms, these villas cater to families or additional guests.
Butlers in Soneva Secret are coined as the Barefoot Guardian and Barefoot Assistant who assigned to every villa, ensuring tailored experiences. The resort also has 14 private chefs to curate individualised menus, either within the villa's privacy or amidst the island's scenic spots.
Dining experiences range from the adventurous Out of This World, a dining tower and observatory accessed by zipline, to relaxed options like So Primitive's beachside firepit dining and The Living Room, a casual hub housing a library and Soneva's renowned gastronomic rooms.
Guests can anticipate exclusive experiences tailored to reconnect with nature, from snorkelling with the Marine Biologist to stargazing sessions led by the resident Astronomer. The surroundings teem with marine life like manta rays, dolphins, and whale sharks, offering unparalleled family experiences.
Soneva Secret 2024 is accessible by a scenic 75-minute seaplane flight from Velana International Airport in Malé, with shorter flights from neighbouring Soneva properties or leisurely cruises available. Alternatively, guests can opt for direct flights to Kulhudhuffushi Airport in the Haa Dhaalu Atoll, followed by a one-hour speedboat ride to the resort.
