Soneva Secret
Haa Dhaalu Atoll, Maldives
The debut Soneva Secret 2024 resort, located in the sparkling waters of Dhipparufushi in the Maldives’ Haa Dhaalu Atoll, represents a new wave of rare, personalised hospitality. Thirty years in the making, it creates a blueprint for the Soneva Secret concept, crafting every stay around highly intuitive service, rare experiences and exceptional culinary journeys. With just 14 expansive villas, the remote island setting offers the ultimate in privacy and seclusion, where the beauty of nature abounds.
Review
This is an incredibly special island. As far flung as it gets in the Maldives, with nothing on the horizon in all directions, Soneva Secret is for those seeking untouched natural wonder and the most finely tuned personalised service. Nothing is impossible here. It is somewhere to truly get away from it all, spend quality time with loved ones, and bask in the beauty of the natural surroundings. In my opinion it's the best parts of all Soneva, artfully curated into one intimate island home.
