Soneva reposted this
50 Best spoke to Sonu Shivdasani of Soneva, a pioneer of barefoot luxury and philanthropist extraordinaire and the first winner of the SevenRooms Icon Award 2023 as part of The World's 50 Best Hotels 2023. "You won the inaugural Icon Award for The World’s 50 Best Hotels 2023 – what legacy do you hope to leave in the world of hospitality?" "I would hope that our impact has been to show that one can offer luxuries and rare experiences to guests and win awards for offering the best guest experiences while still winning the equivalent of the Oscars for sustainability in travel and tourism at the same time. Luxury, wellness and sustainability do not have to be opposites. Traditionally people thought that luxury, wellness and sustainability were mutually exclusive. Today I hope that at Soneva we've proved that they are not." Read the full interview and discover Soneva’s secrets from Sonu Shivdasani.
