Six Senses Soneva Gili
Soneva Gili is a short boat ride from Male’ International Airport in the Male’ Atoll; on a tiny coral island in a sparkling lagooon, with jetties threading across the shallow waters out to over-sized villas.
The 44 stilted accommodations, plus the vast Private Reserve, continue the Soneva philosophy of Intelligent Luxury. They are crafted from renewable forest timeber and natural materials, and offer spacious, private roof-top and over-water sundecks. Many over-water sundecks offer a clear glass table for guests, as they dine, to view the abundance of marine life. Every room of the over-water villas and residences has spectacular views out to the ocean. A walkway from the open-air bathroom leads through a water-garden to a glassed, circular shower. Sumpuous daybeds compiment the rustic chic interiors and all villas feature an entertainment centre and a host of creature comforts. Several villas feature private spa suites. For the ultimate privacy, seven Crusoe Residences are only accessible by personal boat and are attended by Mr & Ms Fridays.
Soneva Gili offers just 45 sumptuous over-water villas, including 7 Crusoe Residences and The Private Reserve reached only by boat. Each villa has not only been designed and built with the utmost attention to detail, but are also environmentally-friendly and reflect the harmony of life by the water's edge. Each has its own private water garden and sun decks, and the bathrooms have a separate shower accessed along an open-air walkway.
