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.

Restaurant and Bar

Gourmet Cellar

At Soneva Gili & Spa we pride ourselves not just on the quality of our food and the excellence of our service, but also on the enjoyment of the dining experience itself. At Soneva Gili open air dining can be romantic, private and unique. A moonlit dinner on the sun deck of your villa or on the pontoon boat as it cruises in the lagoon under the stars, breakfast in the living room of your residence, or lunch over the water in the al fresco restaurant - the settings are as memorable as the cuisine.
