Rating: 4.0/5 (6 votes cast)
On the privately owned tropical island of Kunfunadhoo in the Baa Atoll of the Maldives hides the Soneva Fushi Resort & Six Senses SpaBlessed with crystal clear waters and lush vegation, this stylish hideaway is the perfect spot to get away from it all while getting in touch with yourselves and with nature. Its uber luxurious cabins are scattered strategically along the beach. Each is tucked into its own slice of verdant greenary, thus ensuring unbridled privacy to do whatever you will. Also within this exclusive property is the award winning Six Senses Spa.
Enter its doors and a water passage strewn with smooth stepping stones greet you. The spa has a no-shoes policy, so whatever yoru bare feet touch within these walls are surely exquisite sensory experiences unto themselves. Sip a glass of herbal tea or fresh fruit juice as you decide on your choice of treatment from the spa's exquisite menu. If you can't decide, the spa offers consultations with its highly trained therapists to help you select what would best suit your needs.
A particularly favourite is the Maldivan Treatment. Cool, wet sand is used to exfoliate the skin before an acupressure treatment focuses on the body's energy meridians. Pure coconut oil is then applied to soften the skin before guests return to their plush cabins to face the rest of the blissfully lazy day.
Holistic Treatment
Equally exquisite and certainly more exotic is the Planet Earth Core Treatment. The holistic face and body treat is a nod to the healing wisdom of ancient Arabia and is unique to Six Senses Spas. It begins with an exfoliation and wrap, both of which draw upon the healing powers of nature-flower poultices, energized water and mineral rich clays to replenish and renew. A Special massage follows using a fabulous blend of oils that contain precious gems like ruby, emerald, sapphire and diamond. Recognizing that every individual had his or her own unique needs, the blend of massage oil is determined based on a consultation when guests first enter the spa.
 In keeping with their holistic approach to well-being, Soneva Fushi boasts an excellent Spa menu that is based on the produce grown in its own organic garden. Sup on island grown leaves with mustard marinated potatoes and goat cheese, dressed with creme fraiche and herbs. Hearty main dishes include the likes of penne pasta in a creamy blue cheese sauce and sauteed morning glory, as well as ratatouille of tomato, courgette and basil served with a morel mushroom cous cous and tomato-oregano sauce.
Food
Naturally, meals can be taken in the privacy of your villa, with all kinds of cuisines, such as Ayurvedic, wheat free, detoxifying and vegetarian, easily available. When your appetites are satiated, lie back in A Sense of Guilt - Meaning lie back in a hot chocolate bath soak that comes from a mug of iced chocolate to drink as a decadent dessert.
