Good reefExceptional reef

Villas run from one-bedroom Crusoe pool villas to a nine-bedroom estate, so multigenerational groups can stay under one roof. The Den covers more than 1,365 sqm, with two pools, a water slide and a cinema, and is included for ages 4 to 17. Mantas gather at nearby Hanifaru Bay from June to November.

The verdict

Who it suits, and who it doesn’t.

What to know before booking

The seaplane needs you in Malé by 15:30; later Gulf arrivals take a domestic flight to Dharavandhoo and a 10-minute speedboat, with the last flight at 23:15. Crusoe, suite and beach villas all have private pools, and overwater Water Reserves with slides sit alongside the beach villas. Visibility is best from December to April.

Who it isn’t for

Couples who picture overwater living as the default should look at Soneva Jani; anyone after a lively bar scene will find Kunfunadhoo slow and spread out by design.

Departure
Timed to your flight

Seaplane or domestic flight back to Malé, planned around your international departure.

Questions we get about Soneva Fushi.

Yes. The seaplane needs you on the ground by 15:30, but a domestic flight to Dharavandhoo (about 30 minutes, last departure 23:15) and a 10-minute speedboat reach the island after dark. Otherwise stay near the airport and take the 09:00 seaplane.

If not this island: three alternatives.
