Luxury Maldives resort Soneva Fushi has a new adventure that teaches kids how to survive on an uninhabited island like a shipwrecked sailor.
This resort includes the option to shipwreck the kids on a deserted island
The wild adventure for kids aged 12-15 is known as Adventure of the Corbin. It’s one of five educational activities on offer at the Soneva Academy. Other courses include Marine Life of the Maldives and Zero Waste and Plastic Pollution.
The Corbin is a 17th-century French galleon that was shipwrecked off the coast of Goidhoo. On the four-day Soneva adventure, the kids will learn how the sailors survived by doing it themselves.
Yes, that’s right they will have to camp on an uninhabited island and learn how to pitch a tent, make a bush toilet and fish for lunch.
But they’re not alone. Soneva’s experienced guides will explain how Corbin’s shipwrecked sailors survived on a desert island with accounts from the ship’s real-life navigator, François Pyrard de Laval.

On day three, the kids will visit the site of the Corbin shipwreck, which is now a thriving ecosystem. As they snorkel around they will learn about the ship’s lost treasure. And probably go hunting for some missing gold coins.
They will visit the Rose Garden, a unique reef system considered one of the Maldives’ best snorkelling spots.
Soneva’s guides will also take them to play the traditional boduberu drums with local Maldivian drummers.

Soneva Maldives
Soneva operates two luxury resorts in the Maldives, Soneva Jani and Soneva Fushi. Kids can join the Adventure of the Corbin from both resorts. It costs around $2000 per child.
Both resorts feature gorgeous overwater bungalows with waterslides, outdoor bathrooms and observatories. And with the kids shipwrecked for four days, you can have it all to yourself.
