Soneva secrets...

A few heavenly days to remember at Soneva Fushi, with the Soneva team and founders Eva and Sonu.
Fresh food creatively spiced tastes even better in good
company - here with the team from Soneva Fushi

Ewa - a glowing inspiration for healthy, fresh
yet delectable cuisine at Soneva Fushi
with Fredrik & Lars from Select Collection
From the wonders of sizzling locally sourced food, we went on to discover the flavours of cocktails and mocktails mixed from freshly picked organic fruit, sipped over water.

Then we went underground to discover more about wine.  The Soneva Fushi wine cellar has 7000 bottles of great wines including champagnes, vintage cognacs and organic and biodynamic wines. Guided by the sommelier, we tasted our way to new secrets.  I discovered Burgundy, which is now hot on the heels of Bordeaux as THE red to enjoy....
