Soneva Gili | Resort and Spa in the Maldives
Soneva Gili | Resort and Spa in the Maldives
By Ina Woolcott
The perfect place to come to restore body, mind and soul and to bring harmony and balance back into your life. A tranquil, unspoilt island of the Maldives - Robinson Crusoe would have fallen in love with it! Indulgent luxury and a whole team of Man Fridays. The Six Senses Spa offers everything expected as well as unexpected - glass floor panels beneath massage tables bring the sensual experience to a new high, whilst a Maldivian sand massage is yet another new encounter.
This is a small coral island floating in a crystal clear, serene lagoon. The resort is a unique design made from natural materials and suspended over the water on wooden stilts where you can watch the tropical fish swimming in the lagoon.
The resort claims to be ‘elegance on water’ - and rightly so! This is no overstatement and fully justifiable, fancifully and imaginatively portrayed by the 44 stilted suites and residences, bar/restaurant and Six Senses Spa. The suites and residences are well spread out for privacy along wooden jetties. The roomy villas boast roof top and over water sundecks, a striking open-air bathroom, lavish day beds, satellite TV, hi-fi as well facilities to prepare ones own romantic moonlit dinner.
For ultimate privacy, the 7 Crusoe Residences are only reachable by boat.
The resort is just a quarter hour by speedboat from Male International
Airport.
