Soneva Gili Resort and Spa is a short 20 minutes boat ride from Male, the capital of the Maldives. A tiny coral island in a sparkling lagoon, with jetties threading across the water out to spacious villas.
The forty-four stilted accommodations continue the Soneva philosophy of 'Intelligent Luxury'. They are crafted in a traditional style from natural materials and offer roof-top and over-water sundecks, featuring open air bathrooms, sumptuous daybeds and a personal entertainment center. For the ultimate privacy, seven Crusoe Residences are only accessible by personal boat. The Maldives is a paradise for snorkeling and diving and the resort has its own fully -equipped PADI diving school plus a variety of water sports. This place tops the list of must-do destinations for those in the know.
