In a world increasingly driven by sustainability, luxury industries are transforming to embrace eco-conscious values without compromising sophistication. From sustainable travel experiences to eco-friendly real estate, innovation is reshaping luxury landscapes for a greener future.

1. Sustainable Luxury Travel: Redefining Experiences

Luxury travelers today demand more than just comfort - they seek purpose-driven experiences. High-end eco-resorts and private eco-villas now integrate renewable energy sources, water recycling systems, and locally sourced materials to minimize environmental impact.

Throughout the Soneva Stars programme, some of the world’s most celebrated and decorated chefs, all of whom have come from Michelin-starred restaurants, will be hosting highly exclusive dinner events at Soneva properties, each for a maximum of eight resort guests at a time.

2. Eco-Resorts Leading the Way: Soneva Fushi in the Maldives

Top-tier eco-resorts, such as Soneva Fushi in the Maldives, set benchmarks for sustainable tourism. Featuring solar panels, waste-to-energy systems, and zero-waste policies, these properties redefine opulence with responsibility.

The Soneva experience begins when you arrive at Malé International Airport. You will be greeted by a Soneva Representative holding a ‘Soneva’ sign, who will assist you with your local transfers. There are two ways to reach Soneva Fushi from Malé – you can either take a 30-minute seaplane from Malé International Airport direct to Soneva Fushi, or take a domestic flight from Malé International Airport to Dharavandhoo Airport, followed by a 12-minute speedboat ride to Soneva Fushi.
