Soneva Gili & Six Senses Spa

Soneva Gili & Six Senses Spa; the first all over-water villa resort in the maldives, is set on the private tropical island of Lankanfushi. Soneva Gili is situated in the Male stoll; one of the 19 atolls that stretch across 800 kilometers of the Indian Ocean and is one of the 1190 islands that make up the Maldives.

Lankanfushi is located in one of the largest lagoons in the Maldives. Apart from the crystal clear water, for which the Maldives is world renowned, the island and lagoon provide the unique experience of combining the lush, natural vegetation on the island with the abundance of colorful marine life around the island's reefs

Accommodation

The water villa suites and residences have all the luxuries one would expect from one of the World's most exclusive resorts. However, while offering world class facilities, the utmost care has been given to ensuring that the resort is environmentally-friendly and reflects the harmony that is congruent with life by the water's edge. The over water sun decks sit just above the water level providing an in villa dining experience with a panorama that is a dream to behold. The interior luxury amenities, such as the quadraphonic hi-fi, television and DVD player, are all thoughtfully concealed in hand built wooden cabinets and drawers.

Restaurant

At Soneva Gili & Six Senses 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 is 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 all-over-water-bar – the settings are as memorable as the cuisine.
