Sense by the Beach Restaurant (Reservations recommended)
Soneva Fushi evolves again to bring something new to the table. Always looking to enhance the culinary experiences we are pleased to introduce a Peruvian and Japanese fusion culinary adventure. The menu draws heavily on classic Japanese food with South American influences.

The main inspiration was to focus on the amazing quality of the raw ingredients already abundant in the Maldives such as the local fish delivered daily to the jetty along with some of the organic produce from the garden.

To ensure we got the authenticity correct we were pleased to be able to work with Toshiro Konishi, Japanese born who emigrated to Peru in 1975.

His restaurant in Lima has for many years attracted positive reviews and acclaim as one of the best Sushi restaurants in the world.

You can now try some of his signature dishes and an array of subtle assorted Sashimi, a variety of hand made Niguiri sushi or Maki sushi rolls. Try Toshiro’s special Peruvian Ceviche’s.

With these tempting dishes we have also brought to you a selection of the finest Japanese sakes to enjoy, chilled or warm, plum wines and a fine selection of South American wines for your pleasure from Argentina and Chile.Sense by the Beach, is located on the sunset side of the island and is open for dinner.

Diving

dive

The Soleni Dive Centre opened on Soneva Fushi in October 1995. Until December 1998 it was the only diving school operating in the Baa Atoll. Thomas Wälchli and Elisabetta Benini have had a long experience teaching diving in the Maldives before deciding that Soneva Fushi was 'the' island. Their policy has always been to offer quality rather then quantity.

Special attention is given to all divers, whether they are experienced or only beginners. The diving groups are kept small. Our instructors go beyond the normal supervisory line of duty, sharing with you their enthusiasm for diving.
