Island Jungle Treetop Dining - Fresh in the Garden at Soneva Fushi

The Property Addict / Travel

My mouth waters as I breathe in the smell of delicious cooking spices carried on the balmy evening breeze, whispering through thick canopies of lush tropical jungle as we cycle, racing each other and chatting animatedly on our bikes, hungry and excited.

Soneva Private Picnics on a Deserted Island Paradise

The Property Addict / Travel

Tiny crystal-clear waves roll gently onto sun-bleached sand as the engine of our speed boat turns off, the sand scratches the bottom of the boat as we glide to a halt on the deserted private island. Its untouched paradise, with only the sounds of waves lapping on the beach as far as the ear can hear. Fish dart past in the translucent water and a stingray glides by, lazy in the gentle current.

The Property Addict / Travel

Where else in the world can you find a nine-bedroom beach-front private villa to inspire a lifetime of rare experiences and make memories with family and friends Soneva Fushi’s capacious nine-bedroom, 5540-square-metre beachfront retreat, the Private Reserve is what dream homes are made of. Here, barefoot luxury is woven together poetically by palm-frond roofs, woven ropes and tree-branch banisters. Barefoot luxury is curated and redefined within the airy, white-washed walls of this private retreat. At the heart of the sizeable swimming pool, an expansive sunken deck places you in the midst of nature’s playground. Indulge in a spa experience, sauna and steam or stay energised at the gym, without leaving your forested mansion. Entertain guests and host family dinners at the sunken deck, gaze out at the lush tropical surrounds from the villa’s multiple private balconies, or spend the day unwinding in and around the lagoon-style pool.

Floating on cloud 9 – Soneva in Aqua

The Property Addict / Luxury Lifestyle

One of the most decidedly decadent experiences I have had is onboard the Soneva in Aqua. A two-bedroom, ultra-luxury 19-metre yacht of spectacular & classic proportions that would delight any boat enthusiast or yachtsman, Soneva in Aqua has been entirely refitted in bespoke Soneva fashion, rich leather joinery cleverly hiding all of the latest gadgets, mod-cons and technology from sight. Allowing you the luxury of choice to disconnect entirely, if that’s what you fancy.
