Soneva Secret is the most intimate of Soneva's three Maldives resorts: just 13 villas on Dhipparufushi, in a remote corner of Haa Dhaalu Atoll, about 75 minutes by seaplane from Malé. From 12 January 2027 villa rates include full board and return seaplane transfers, and the whole island can be reserved for one group.
Every villa is huge, from 448 to 1,158 m², with a private freshwater pool, a retractable roof over the main bedroom, a gym, a spa treatment room, a children's room or extra bedrooms, and a Barefoot Butler. The One-Bedroom Beach Villas and the Two-Bedroom Beach Pavilion sit among the trees by the beach. Over the water are the One-Bedroom Horizon Overwater Villas, with a curved waterslide into the lagoon, and the One- and Two-Bedroom Overwater Sea Lofts, which Soneva calls the world's first and which are reached only by boat.
Your Barefoot Butler arranges meals at the Secret Garden, The Living Room, fire-led Primitive by the shore, Out of This World at the overwater observatory, the Chef's Table, sandbank breakfasts and Sunset Embers barbecues, and the chocolate, ice-cream and cheese rooms are open around the clock. You can snorkel with up to 50 manta rays, ride an ocean zipline that lands at the restaurant, dive with Soleni Dive Centre or take out jet-skis, Seabobs and catamarans, and wellbeing comes to the villa, with a cold plunge and infrared sauna included.
