For  a five nights' stay, Soneva Fushi Maldives Resort Spa & Accommodation will be offering a dive package for visitors looking to relax overseas and under seas. If you're not familiar with this unusual but highly regarded property, it may be because the Soneva Fushi (+960 660 0304) is on Kunfunadhoo Island, in the Baa Atoll of the Republic of Maldives.

Getting there is as much fun as being there, because you'll fly through several time zones to get to Malẻ, the country's capital in the Indian Ocean, way off the coast of Africa. From Malẻ International Airport, guests are escorted to the Soneva Fushi lounge at the seaplane terminal. Your family's beach getaway adventure begins with the 30-minute flight north to the island of Kunfunadhoo. The water landing is at the Soneva Fushi airport pontoon, from which guests are transferred by motor boat to the island’s jetty, where welcoming staff awair.

Sound like fun? As part of this special, on top of a daily breakfast and one in-villa BBQ for two, guests will have the opportunity to go on three diving trips, provided with all equipment and a boat trip to the excursion as well.
