Paradise Found

More than just hedonistic indulgences, these chic, luxurious resorts give back to the people and the planet and guarantee a guilt-free vacation. Guests who fork out USD1,000 to USD8,000 a night for a room at Soneva Fushi (www.sixsenses.com/soneva-fushi) and expect gilded taps and marble flooring are in for a surprise.

Redefining the concept of luxury, the Soneva brand is about chic, ‘barefoot’ sophistication. Before you land on the island, you are handed a cold towel, a coconut drink and a little bag that says “no news, no shoes.” Surrender your Ferragamo loafers or Manolo Blahniks (for the ladies) and the resort staff will tag the bag with your room number. Rest assured, you will get to slip them back on at the end of your blissful vacation.
