Soneva Gili

• The ultimate ‘Intelligent Luxury’ experience
• The world’s largest overwater residence
• Gourmet Cellar - a blend of wine & cheese
• Heightened sensual spa experience

Soneva Gili, a short boat ride from the capital of Malé, is set on a coral island in a sparkling lagoon, with jetties threading across the shallow waters to over-sized villas. The 44 stilted accommodations – plus the vast Private Reserve, the world’s largest overwater residence, continue the Soneva philosophy of ‘Intelligent Luxury’. They offer private roof-top and overwater sundecks. Every room delivers spectacular water views. Sumptuous daybeds complement the rustic chic interiors and all villas feature a host of creature comforts. Several villas feature private Spa Suites.

Come ashore for some great dining and equally great wines from the Gourmet Cellar. Or perhaps a romantic moonlit dinner delivered right to the villa; or a sunset champagne cruise on a traditional dhoni. Newly opened Sense by the Sea, Japanese-Peruvian fusion restaurant presents culinary adventure and breathtaking views in an intimate elegant setting.

The Six Senses Spa offers everything hoped for and some things not imagined, glass floor-panels beneath massage tables heighten the sensual experience. The Maldives is a paradise for snorkeling and diving and the resort has its own fully-equipped PADI diving school plus a vast selection of water activities.
