Soneva Secret
One Island, One Atoll, One Secret
Overview
Soneva Secret, Maldives: A Hidden Paradise of Luxury and Sustainability.
Nestled in the remote Haa Dhaalu Atoll, Soneva Secret is the latest masterpiece from the renowned Soneva brand, opening in March 2024. This ultra-exclusive resort, with only 14 villas, offers unparalleled privacy and a return to the rustic beauty that first drew its founders to the Maldives. Each villa, whether beachfront, overwater, or the Maldives first floating villa, is designed to seamlessly blend with the natural surroundings, featuring open layouts, retractable roofs, and private pools that immerse guests in the island’s stunning scenery.
Soneva Secret embodies the brand’s commitment to sustainability, with much of the resort powered by solar energy, water filtered and bottled on-site, and a strict no-plastics policy. The resort’s eco-conscious design ensures that luxury does not come at the expense of the environment, making it a haven for the eco-conscious traveller.
Dining is a highlight, with each villa equipped with a private chef, and the resort offering unique experiences such as the Out of This World zipline dining platform, where guests can enjoy gourmet cuisine while stargazing. Wellness is equally prioritised, with a jungle-shrouded spa offering treatments using natural, locally sourced ingredients.
Soneva Secret’s location in the untouched Haa Dhaalu Atoll provides guests with the opportunity to explore some of the Maldives most pristine environments. Whether it’s snorkeling around vibrant coral reefs, visiting the historic island of Makunudhoo, or simply relaxing in your private villa, Soneva Secret promises an experience that is both luxurious and deeply connected to nature. For those seeking an exclusive escape that marries luxury with sustainability, Soneva Secret is the ultimate destination.

The bedroom's glass doors can fully retract, allowing you to drift off to sleep with the gentle sound of waves almost at your feet.
