Soneva Fushi: Down to Earth by Ravi.

There are certain images which immediately make you think of the Maldives, are there not? No matter which Pinterest boards you’ve looked at, one of those expectations has to be the romantic dining on the beach scenario. Soneva Fushi is no stranger to this game, and offer up the picturesque island setting at Down to Earth by Ravi, which we dined at during the last evening of our stay. Ravi’s offers a selection of international cuisine, and, like the rest of the F&B outlets, focuses on seafood, and other more sustainable practices. While the main section of Ravi’s is covered (where the live cooking stations are based), we took the opportunity to dine al fresco, just as the sun was nearly set. With candlelight, it was a bit difficult to see, but we wouldn’t want to wreck the ambiance, now would we? After a relatively inedible amuse bouche (a combined effort of…

Soneva Fushi: Fresh in the Garden.

Very few properties in the Maldives can boast as large and functional a garden like the one on Soneva Fushi, which is used daily to provide fresh produce to guests and staff. Even better? Settled above all the beds of edible greens and vegetables is the Fresh in the Garden dining outlet. Open for dinner, this treehouse restaurant is accessible via rope bridge (yes, it’s a good place to channel your inner child — there are a few opportunities on the island to indulge). The menu offers a selection of healthy options, many cultivated from the garden below. Vegetarian diners should be quite happy. As with many of the outlets on the island, there is a selection of starters, mains, and dessert (and, as mentioned previously, the best financial option for visitors is to include a half, full board, or all inclusive package when making a booking at Soneva Fushi). There was…

Soneva Fushi: Out of the Blue, Overwater Dining.

A highlight of our trip to the island paradise of Soneva Fushi were the meals we shared at the stunning Out of the Blue. This overwater building is an absolute showpiece at the property, and only opened this year. With soaring ceilings, an open floor plan, and distinctive maritime colors and details throughout, it’s an easy location to return to for a leisurely lunch, stunning sundowner, or romantic dinner. The venue also includes overwater nets and sun loungers — just in case you need a different location on the island to enjoy the beautiful views from. For your inner child, there is a one of a kind slide that puts you directly into the Indian Ocean (I’m still regretting not trying it). We dined at Out of the Blue for lunch both days (consisting of an international menu, including a build your own salad bar, and a variety of cheeses). The venue is…

Soneva Fushi: Barefoot in paradise.

One of the best things about living in the UAE is our easy access to tropical destinations on the Indian Ocean — Seychelles, Sri Lanka, Zanzibar, Mauritius, and of course, the Maldives. In this island nation, there are numerous resorts and hotels to choose from. While nothing is, let’s say, in the realm of ‘affordable,’ I think dream destinations are always good for bucket lists and what not. So, I’ll assume that the price tag hasn’t scared you off. Now, my previous two trips to the Maldives involved overwater villas. When reviewing our trip to Soneva Fushi, I was (of course) excited, but also interested — how would it go? Could I be swayed to villa living?
