Soneva in Aqua

All Resorts Beyond the island

Set sail on a bespoke voyage across the Indian Ocean aboard Soneva’s private yacht, Soneva in Aqua.

The Indian Ocean, on your Terms

Soneva in Aqua is a 23-metre private yacht where life unfolds at sea, gently and without rush. Sailing from Soneva Fushi, Soneva Jani or Soneva Secret, each journey is shaped around you. A few quiet hours on the water, or days drifting through the Maldives archipelago. No set plans, only a sense of direction. The horizon, always within reach.

The Yacht and Crew

Life on board is quietly considered. Two guest cabins open onto generous decks, with space to stretch out in the sun or settle into the shade. A Jacuzzi and glass-bottomed spa tub invite slower moments, while an intimate dining area brings everyone together as the sea drifts by.

Up to four adults and two children are welcomed in complete privacy. From the moment you arrive, a dedicated crew moves with ease around you. Your captain and local skipper guide the journey with a deep understanding of these waters. A Barefoot Butler, personal sous chef and wellness therapist take care of everything else, gently and without interruption. When called for, a dive master, surf instructor, astronomer or digital storyteller can join, adding new ways to see and feel the ocean.

Bespoke Itineraries

Each journey begins with a simple question of where to next. There are no fixed routes, only possibilities.

Drift towards uninhabited sandbanks. Move through protected atolls. Pause in a quiet lagoon as the light fades, or sail between Soneva’s islands with the day just beginning. From a few hours at sea to longer voyages, every itinerary is shaped around your pace and your sense of discovery.

Cuisine and Wellbeing

Meals are prepared with care and intuition. Your personal sous chef creates menus inspired by your preferences and what the ocean offers that day. Dine barefoot on a sandbank, gather on deck beneath the stars, or begin the morning with something simple as the horizon softens into light.
Wellbeing follows you onto the water. Gentle movement at sunrise. Restorative treatments as the yacht glides forward. Time to pause, to breathe, to simply watch the ocean below through the glass-bottomed spa tub.

Charter Options

Soneva in Aqua is yours to shape, whether for a few unhurried hours or a longer passage at sea.

Set out on a private day charter, stay overnight beneath open skies, or extend the journey across several days. The yacht can also be reserved for quiet celebrations, time together with those closest, or gentle sailings between Soneva Fushi, Soneva Jani and Soneva Secret.
