Duration: Approx. 96 hours

View Itinerary

Four Nights Itinerary Four-Atoll Adventure

Duration: Approx. 96 hours

Day 01

After boarding Soneva in Aqua, hoist the sails and make passage to the northern Baa Atoll with a full day of activities, spa sessions and customised meals prepared by your very own chef. Anchor in the shallow waters of Veyofushi where dolphins and manta rays swim playfully*. Island excursions are a guest favourite as well as sunset on the top deck with cocktails and canapés before a candle-lit, four-course dinner.

Day 02

Start with a sunrise yoga session and light breakfast before sailing up to the Raa Atoll with its many islands and shallow reefs. Right up to the 1990’s, this atoll was off limits to tourists and so remains relatively unspoiled. You can even visit the ghost island, left behind by the 2004 tsunami. The Raa Atoll offers many fabulous locations to swim, snorkel and jump on the stand up paddleboard. A leap off the top deck of the yacht is another guest favourite. Enjoy the pleasantries of having your own on board spa therapist with a massage in the privacy of your own cabin or on any one of the many decks.

Day 03

Begin your day with a fresh coffee and breakfast on the island before making passage to the Noonu Atoll. Here you’ll see an abundance of sea life in its many reefs. Snorkel or dive at locations such as Christmas Tree Rock, often frequented by sharks. The stunning turquoise lagoon at Soneva Jani is one of the best spots for kite surfing and windsurfing in the Maldives. Stop for a late lunch at The Crab Shack at the Soneva Jani, recently voted the ‘World’s Most Romantic Restaurant’ on CNN.com. Return to the yacht and sail to a protected anchorage where it is not uncommon for spinner dolphins to put on a sunset aerial display.

Day 04

Enjoy a wellness session of sunrise meditation or Yoga before breakfast. Be awed by snorkelling with the highest density of Fusiliers and Snappers in the Maldives, then rest on the top deck with a spa treatment while we cross over to the Lhaviyani Atoll. The diving here is exceptional, with only five occupied islands in the whole atoll. After lunch dive the Kuredu Caves and spot sleeping turtles resting in the underwater caverns and nooks. Anchor off Vavaru Island, which is perfect for a private beach barbecue and a star-gazing session.

Day 05

Get the adrenaline flowing after a morning meditation by swinging off the boom into the calm waters surrounding the anchorage. Relax and unwind on the stern hammock hanging over the ocean as we leave the anchorage and head back to the Baa Atoll. The route back takes us right past the unique Hanifaru Bay, which in season attracts hundreds manta rays and whale sharks*, both of which are amazing to swim with. Enjoy your last spa treatment after a light lunch as we head back to Soneva Fushi.

What We Love

The Roots

Soneva believes that the Guardians of nature and earth have thrived centuries before the humankind and hence everything curated for Soneva is thusly inspired by the wonders and grace of our eco-system and nature. The sort of mystery revolving around its true essence is believed to be the beauty of it. Soneva is always known to craft such earthy experiences to make new discoveries an essential when it comes to holidays. With the experienced hosts guiding you throughout while also making themselves scarce when you need privacy get on board Soneva In Aqua to lose yourself in an aqua marvel that will stay with you forever.

The ultra-indulgent yacht has a maximum occupancy of four adults and two children to provide the ultimate sense of exclusivity and privacy.

Specialty

At Soneva, their creativity is driven by our guiding principle of ‘Intelligent Luxury’, which is about understanding what true luxury is for our guests; many of whom spend most of their time in urban environments. It is about understanding the daily lives of the guests and offering them experiences that are both ‘new’ - in that they are rare, unusual and exceptional, but at the same time ‘true’ in that they are highly desired and cherished. They continue to question and challenge what is rare, and hence a real luxury.
