Before you book

What dining is there, and are there stand-out venues?

Soneva Fushi runs more than ten dining concepts, from the zipline-accessed treetop restaurant Flying Sauces to the six-seat omakase counter So Hands On by Chef Akira and the beachfront open-fire dining of So Primitive. The Chocolate, Cheese and Ice Cream Rooms stay open around the clock. Service times aren't published for most venues, so IMJ confirms hours and reservations directly with the resort ahead of a stay.
