At Soneva Fushi eco-friendliness is part of the resort’s DNA. The Eco Centro ‘waste to wealth’ facility uses permaculture principles and evolved into a waste recycling and food production centre. It is the base for the organic vegetable gardens on the island. The resort follows the three R principles: Reduce – Reuse – Recycle, not only on paper but in reality, and very effective. Eco Centro on Soneva Fushi is a little incubator, trying constantly new ideas and new ways of turning waste into something useful Soneva Glass Studio is a great example where recycled bottles are converted into artworks. The resort also recycles cans and plastic, produces natural fertilizer, mushrooms and uses coconuts in both cooking and agriculture.
Fringed by white sand beaches that shelve gently into the azure blue sea, legendary Soneva Fushi looks like a Robinson Crusoe idyll, located within the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
