Kunfunadhoo Island, Baa Atoll, Maldives: Soneva Fushi Resort and Spa, is where Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Sir Paul McCartney, George Michael getaway from it all. Why is it that these celebs know exactly where to go green, with the utmost in privacy - the isle is only reached via a 30-minute floatplane from the mainland, and do it in the most luxurious way possible. This place is tops - with gourmet chefs, a wine cellar, private spa rooms, your own butler… who could ask for more!
Since the opening of Six Senses’ flagship resort in 1995, Soneva Fushi has made sustainability a priority, without compromising the experience and expectations of guests. It’s true, the resort has demonstrated that luxury and minimal environmental impact are compatible. The company’s core purpose “to create innovative and enriching experiences in a sustainable environment” as well as the Soneva philosophy of “Intelligent Luxury” indicate how much emphasis is placed on providing the ultimate holiday experience, while at the same time being socially and environmentally responsible.
Another plus: Soneva Fushi aims to be Carbon Free by 2010, Spearheading Carbon Emission Strategies in the Maldives
This commitment has been recognized: Soneva Fushi has received the President of Maldives’ Green Resort Award twice (in 2000 and 2006) and the Green Leaf Award in 2003 and won the Bronze award this year with the Green Globe Benchmarked organization.
Kudos to you, Kunfunadhoo!
