9) Soneva Fushi by Six Senses, Maldives
Sustainability isn't a buzzword for the award-winning Soneva Fushi, which is on the Agoda green list for a second time – it's wired into the resort's DNA. Its list of green initiatives is both long and impressive and includes tree-planting projects, campaigns to ban shark fishing and a carbon offset program to buy a wind turbine in India. Soneva Fushi also has an in-house marine biologist to educate guests and ensure dive trips do not damage the local environment. One of its guiding principles is 'Slow Life', an approach which emphasizes 'slow' pursuits such as nature walks, star-gazing and non-motorized water sports.
