Weekly recap of what’s new and trending in wellness!
1. Soneva’s Introduces Bare Luxury, the Brand’s Next Chapter
Soneva, the resort group behind Soneva Fushi, Soneva Jani and Soneva Secret in the Maldives, has announced the evolution of its founding vision: Bare Luxury. The new brand philosophy comes with a new tagline, Just What Matters, which is also Soneva’s promise to every guest that nothing exists without purpose and nothing that matters is missing. The next chapter begins with the visual: a refined Soneva logo and the Soluna monogram, derived from the Latin 'Solis' (sun) and 'Lunae' (moon), symbolising wholeness. From there, this conviction shapes every decision, from villa design that supports wellbeing to restaurant concepts that invite play to menus led by the garden rather than the other way around. The announcement highlights Soneva’s efforts to strengthen its position within the global luxury hospitality sector.
