XO Private - The Luxury Travel Collection
The finest online directory for the discerning traveller

Soneva Gili is the Maldives’ first resort located entirely over water, the beautiful turquoise blue waters of Lankanfushi, one of the largest resort lagoons in the Maldives.

The 45 villas and residences are extremely spacious. The bathrooms have been designed with a separate shower, accessed along an open-air walkway, along its own private water garden. The roof sun deck is a private oasis of luxury and there is also a lower level sundeck just above the water level. One villa suite and one residence have the addition of private spa suites. The 7 freestanding Crusoe Residences are accessed only by boat.

Open air dining at Soneva Gili is romantic, private and unique. Whether in the Japanese-Peruvian restaurant, having a moonlit dinner on the sun deck of the villa, or al fresco in the resort’s beachside restaurant, breakfast in the living room of a private residence, or lunch over the water in the over water bar – the settings are as memorable as the cuisine.

Soneva Gili shares the Six Senses philosophy so there is naturally a tantalizing overwater Six Senses Spa, offering an extensive menu of pampering and healthy therapies.
