Grant Ruffel
Your Host and The Team
“Our creativity is driven by our guiding principle of ‘Intelligent Luxury’, which is about understanding what true luxury is for our guests; many of whom spend most of their time in urban environments. It is about understanding the daily lives of our guests and offering them experiences that are both ‘new’ - in that they are rare, unusual and exceptional, but at the same time ‘true’ in that they are highly desired and cherished. With our team, we continue to question and challenge what is rare, and hence a real luxury. Pioneering new concept of experiential luxury in the Maldives, this refined yacht combines luxury with a sense of freedom and adventure associated with a private boat charter. No two trips are the same. Each charter is designed specifically around the guest’s preferences creating a more tailor-made experience that maximises the guests’ enjoyment onboard. My aim is to show guests that the best way to experience the Maldives in onboard the decks of Soneva In Aqua.”

We Care

Started in January 2019 Soneva has been working closely with their local communities to reduce the use of plastics by employing sustainable or natural alternatives, to completely stop the use of single-use plastics, and to establish sustainable waste management with recycling and upcycling initiatives. The goal is to inspire the next generation to be caring custodians of their delicate marine home.
The initiatives and activities are funded both by the Soneva Resort and supported in part by the government and are are now bearing fruit too. The islands in the Baa Atoll all agreed to completely cease in the burning of waste by the end of 2020 and have established sustainable waste management systems starting from waste segregation at the households to recycling. Soneva also now bottles its own drinking water which has resulted, to date, in more than 120,000plastic water bottles NOT being produced and NOT being disposed of in the community. And additionally, during the community actions and activities more than 350 young people have been exposed to watersports with 145 young people from the local community taught to swim.
