Soneva has taken luxury to the next level with its latest masterpiece—Soneva Secret and its revolutionary floating villa, Castaway. More than just an escape, this is an experience unlike any other, redefining overwater living in the Maldives.

Imagine waking up to endless horizons, surrounded by nothing but the shimmering turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. Unlike traditional overwater villas perched on stilts, Castaway drifts effortlessly on the water’s surface, creating the illusion of floating into infinity. Yet, it remains perfectly stable, engineered to deliver serenity without a single ripple of disruption. Accessible only by boat, this secluded sanctuary promises the pinnacle of privacy.

The villa is a playground for the senses—featuring a private saltwater pool that blends seamlessly with the ocean, a sleek curved slide that plunges straight into the crystal-clear lagoon, and a retractable roof over the master bedroom for stargazing like never before. An open-air dining deck invites guests to indulge in world-class cuisine while the upstairs spa treatment room elevates relaxation to an art form. Every inch of Castaway reflects Soneva’s commitment to sustainability and barefoot luxury.

But Soneva Secret is more than just Castaway—it’s a whisper of exclusivity reserved for those who crave something extraordinary. This ultra-private island retreat offers bespoke experiences, from candlelit sandbank dinners to floating champagne breakfasts. A personal Barefoot Guardian ensures every whim is met, whether it's a yacht excursion to explore hidden lagoons or snorkeling with manta rays in uncharted waters. Wellness seekers can surrender to rejuvenating therapies, all set against the soothing soundtrack of the ocean.

Beyond Castaway, Soneva Secret boasts an exclusive collection of breathtaking villas, from beachfront hideaways to overwater havens with expansive sundecks and private plunge pools. Some come with their own cinema under the stars, wine cellars stocked with rare vintages, and exhilarating waterslides that make stepping into the ocean pure exhilaration.

With Castaway and its curated selection of exclusive villas, Soneva continues to rewrite the rulebook on high-end travel. This is not just another Maldivian getaway—it’s an invitation to step into a world where luxury has no limits, privacy is absolute, and the ocean is yours alone to explore.
