One of the first floating villa resorts to open in the Indian Ocean, Soneva Secret promises to be the ultimate secluded island inspired by nature’s magnitude, mystery and enchanting beauty.
Soneva Secret, as the name suggests, will be a true hideout in one of the Maldives’ most secluded areas, Haa Dhaalu. Promising unparalleled solitude and privacy, this floating villa resort–which will open for stays on January 10, 2024–invites you to enjoy time slowly melting away and lose yourself to memorable experiences. In short, Soneva Secret promises a bespoke experience unlike any other!
In keeping with the brand’s ethos of barefoot luxury in The Maldives, with the new opening Soneva will deliver on its promise of sun, sea, and sand with the bonus of privacy.
Secluded Villas at Soneva Secret
Explore 14 overwater and island villas, including secret hideaways accessible only by boat and the Maldives’ first floating villa. Expect the ultimate overwater stay surrounded by tropical gardens. Not only will every room and villa offer personalised services to ensure an unforgettable escape in nature but they have also been designed keeping sustainability in mind. The overwater villas have been consciously designed to be unaffected by wave movements and can only be accessed by sea.
Each villa will feature a pantry, minibar, covered dining area, family-sized TV lounge with a large daybed and sunken seating, and a fully equipped gym overlooking the surrounding turquoise waters. The cherry on top will be the spa treatment room, waterslide into the lagoon and an al fresco dining sala.
Signature Experiences
The island is your playground! When at Soneva Secret, choose to swim with manta rays and sea turtles, take off on yachting adventures across the Indian Ocean, enjoy stargazing spectacles at Soneva’s overwater observatory, or engage in non-motorised water sports such as canoes, paddleboards, catamarans and windsurfing.
Dining at Soneva Secret
Indulge in a bespoke menu and the finest cuisine in your private paradise with a dedicated chef provided for each villa.

Each expert will bring with them knowledge of their native cuisine and prepare it using carefully-sourced ingredients.
