Hospitality Project
Soneva Fushi Resort – Acoustic & Sound Isolation Solutions
MMT Acoustix was chosen to deliver acoustic and sound isolation solutions for the luxurious Soneva Fushi Resort. The project involved custom treatment for open restaurants, spa rooms, and private lounges — balancing aesthetics with performance. Planning, supply, and execution were well-coordinated across departments. Despite the resort’s remote island location, premium materials like SoundBlanket®, BassBloc®, and Echsorbix® panels were delivered on time and installed with precision. The outcome: a serene, acoustically balanced experience for every guest space.

Client Challenge
Balancing Energy, Calm & Privacy in One Resort
Soneva Fushi is known for ultra-luxury hospitality and serene guest experiences. However, key zones needed specialised acoustic design:
- Restaurant: Excessive echo and poor speech clarity during peak dining hours.
- Gym: High noise levels from equipment and workouts affecting adjacent areas.
- Spa: Need for strong sound isolation to maintain quiet, immersive therapy rooms.
Our Approach
Tailored Acoustic Strategy for Each Zone
Restaurant – Acoustic Treatment
- BassBloc® sound absorbers placed strategically for echo control.
- Canvas-printed Echsorbix® felt panels over BassBloc® – art that also absorbs sound.
- Pastel-toned wood wool panels to complement the natural interior palette.
Gym – Controlled Energy
- Robust raw-finish wood wool panels for a natural yet tough look.
- Reverberation tamed for clear music, trainer instructions and comfort.
- Layout optimised to minimise sound spill into neighbouring spa areas.
Spa – Sound Isolation Envelope
- Multi-layer build-up using SoundBlanket® 4 mm and BassBloc®.
- Assembly finished with gypsum boards for seamless luxury look.
- Designed for near-zero noise transfer to therapy rooms.
