Soneva Fushi, a luxury resort in the Baa Atoll Unesco Biosphere Reserve in the Maldives, has won the Art of Hospitality Award in the World’s 50 Best Hotels 2025 ranking.
For the award, members of the World’s 50 Best Hotels voting academy – made up of more than 800 anonymous hoteliers, travel journalists, hotel educators, business travellers and travel aficionados – were asked to name the hotel they had stayed at within the two-year voting period that offered the best hospitality experience.
Voters were asked to consider factors including ambience, delivery of unique experiential elements, and overall warmth of the hospitality and environment.
Antony Paton, general manager at Soneva Fushi, says that offering the world’s finest hospitality all comes down to the people who work there – referred to as “hosts” at Soneva Fushi.
