Whatever your heart desires, 'Mihiri Mitha' will put it before you. From baked goodies at breakfast to wood-fired pizzas and organic salads the rest of the day, you can dine to your heart's content at this superb venue.

'By the Beach' is where you'll find the best Japanese and Korean fare- by the beach. Enjoy some great sushi, sashimi and more as your toes feel the soft sand on the beach. So nice...

'Fresh in The Garden' is exactly what it is- surrounded by lush tropical foliage and fruit trees laden with lusciousness, you can enjoy the best of nature's bounty at this restaurant from freshly-picked strawberries to ripe bananas and green vegetables that create awesome Mediterranean dishes.

There are several more dining options available at Soneva Fushi, and if you get the chance, also opt for the Destination Dining experience where you sit down to the most amazing fare at the most amazing places - these are what complete your memorable holiday.

Diving is synonymous with the Maldives, and at Soneva Fushi you absolutely HAVE to try it. There are different courses to choose from and instructors to help, so you are in safe hands.

For the more laid-back vacationer, the Robinson Crusoe picnic comes highly recommended. Among the other activities on offer are Sunset Cruises on a traditional Dhoni, Sunset Dolphin Cruises, Sunrise Breakfast on a Sandbank, Sandbank Dinner, Island Hopping, Guided Snorkeling and so much more.

Ever seen the open-air theatres in the movies and think, 'Wow! that looks nice! Well, at Soneva Fushi it's better than that. Imagine the sea breezes caressing your face as the waves lap in the background and the stars shine overhead, as you watch a romantic movie with your loved one.... that's the reality at Soneva Fushi's Cinema Paradiso.

All-natural products are used in their holistic treatments which range from Ayurveda to Balinese and Thai methods.

Oh, and kids will never want to leave here. The Kids' Club is nothing like you've ever seen before. From a Ball Pit and Lego Room to a Dress-up and Make-up room to Music Room, DJ Corner and more, this is child heaven!

The Six Senses Spa is replete with a large reflecting pond and waterfalls; it's so beautiful it is other-worldly!

Be prepared to pay an extra 2% on top of your bill as you leave- the resort charges you for your holiday carbon footprint- another piece of evidence that shows how dedicated they are to preserving Mother Earth. The money raised from this goes towards carbon emission reduction projects - it's all very transparent, so be sure to look it up and be a part of it.

The resort also opened its Glass Studio in 2015, which takes glass bottles and recycles them in their 'Waste-to-Wealth' program.

This holiday concept just keeps getting better and better, doesn't it?

Who said you have to go to Venice to witness liquid glass being shaped into beautiful shapes and sizes. Soneva Fushi offers this mind-blowing activity for their guests to experience it while you're on holiday. Their new glass studio offers guests and world-renowned glass artists to create extraordinary glass items with this centuries-old European craft of glassblowing. Soneva Fushi hopes to have ongoing events and exhibitions at their new glass studio showcasing the amazing creations.

Sound fun right? We thought so too. Another awesome reason to holiday at this gorgeous property where slow life sure seems to be better than the one that we are used to!
