The Soneva dhoni boat crew will drop you off on a small, private island for the ultimate castaway picnic involving a deluxe hamper filled with locally grown delicacies and a bottle of wine.

Soak in the sunset
ADD TO MY STAY
The only difficult decision is where to watch it. From the private sandbank with 360 degree views of the Indian Ocean and Maldivian skies? Or from a Maldivian dhoni boat with dolphins and flying fish following in the wake? Or closer to home is the popular ‘Bar(a)bara’ – the perfect spot for a champagne cocktail with trampoline seats jutting out over the ocean.
