30 April 2026, DUBAI, UAE: This May, GCC travellers are invited to swap city skylines for turquoise horizons as Soneva unveils a season of ease, meaningful moments and sun-drenched celebrations across its Maldivian sanctuaries—Soneva Fushi, Soneva Jani and Soneva Secret.

As Eid Al Adha approaches—a time for togetherness, generosity and reflection—Soneva reimagines the holiday with a soulful island retreat. Timed perfectly with its Summer at Soneva offering, this is an invitation to celebrate Eid in its purest form: unhurried, heartfelt and deeply connected. Valid for new bookings for stays from 4 May to 30 September 2026, the limited-time offering introduces a collection of thoughtful privileges designed to elevate every moment, all subject to availability. Guests can enjoy up to 20% savings on the Best Available Rate, alongside a complimentary Half Board upgrade that transforms long, leisurely meals into shared rituals—sunlit breakfasts stretching into the day and candlelit dinners unfolding beneath starlit skies.

At Soneva Fushi, nestled within the lush UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of the Baa Atoll, Eid takes on a castaway charm. Here, villas are hidden among dense jungle foliage or open directly onto powder-soft beaches, creating a sense of privacy and intimacy that feels worlds away. Days drift between barefoot cycling through palm-fringed pathways, snorkelling in vibrant house reefs and gathering for rustic, toesin-the-sand feasts that celebrate the simple joy of being together.

At Soneva Jani, set within the shimmering Noonu Atoll, the experience is altogether more ethereal. Overwater villas stretch into a turquoise lagoon, many with private pools and playful slides that spiral directly into crystal-clear waters. Life here unfolds at a slower, dreamlike pace—floating breakfasts arrive by canoe, afternoons are spent gliding across glassy seas, evenings culminate in open-air cinema screenings under the stars. For travellers seeking true privacy this Eid, Soneva Secret is the new frontier of bespoke island living. Tucked away in the untouched reaches of the Maldives, villas that blur the lines between indoors and outdoors invite guests to unwind at their own pace. Each stay is complemented by Full Board. Whether it’s personalised in-villa dining or one-of-a-kind gastronomic moments, Barefoot Guardians cater to every guests’ individual needs and rhythm.

No matter which island you choose, families are effortlessly catered to, with daily experiences for children at The Den, thoughtful welcome touches upon arrival and unlimited access to the 24-hour chocolate, cheese and ice cream rooms. A curated calendar of imaginative experiences adds an extra layer of wonder throughout the season, from visiting Michelin-starred chefs and world-class wellness practitioners to immersive adventures that spark curiosity and connection.

At the heart of Soneva lies Soneva Soul, the brand’s transformative wellness concept, offering guests an opportunity to rejuvenate on a deeper level this Eid. At Soneva Fushi, wellness unfolds amidst a jungle-framed sanctuary, where Ayurvedic therapies and nature-led rituals immerse guests in restorative experiences, while at Soneva Jani, integrative therapies and holistic programmes rebalance the mind and body. At Soneva Secret, wellness is an entirely private ritual in the comfort of one’s own villa, where bespoke treatments, movement practices and holistic therapies are offered in complete seclusion.

In keeping with Soneva’s thoughtful approach, the offer applies to new reservations and is based on each villa’s maximum occupancy, with additional guests accommodated at supplementary rates. Preferential summer rates on return seaplane transfers further enhance the journey, making the transition from city to sanctuary feel truly seamless.
