Luxury Travel Insider Soneva | Owner, Sonu Shivdasani: Waterslides in the Maldives, Meeting Gwyneth Paltrow, and Founding Six Senses
If you’ve ever enjoyed a luxury, wellness, or sustainable travel experience - chances are that experience was shaped by the vision of today’s guest.
Sonu Shivdasani is the owner & CEO of Soneva Resorts in the Maldives and Thailand, and the founder of Six Senses Resorts. The ideas that he’s developed over the last 25 years have forever impacted the face of luxury travel.
Now as for Soneva Resorts - they are some of the finest island resorts in the world. Complete with over water bungalows, water slides, chocolate rooms, and advanced astronomy equipment.
Sonu shares with me some insightful tidbits on what true luxury means for the modern traveler, the crazy story behind leasing his first island in his mid-20s, and how personal crisis has shaped today’s experience at Soneva Resorts.
