Extending the Soneva philosophy of “intelligent luxury” is Soneva Gili, another Six Senses production in the Maldives.  An homage to “eco-luxury”, Soneva Gili resembles a necklace of huts floating on the crystal waters of the North Atoll.

Here, all villas are over-water, feature private sundecks and water gardens, and outdoor showers accessible via wooden walkway. Spacious Soneva Gili residences have rooftop sundecks;  the 1,400 sq m Private Reserve redefines “ginormous”; Spa Suites incorporate treatment rooms, gym area and Jacuzzi; and the well-equipped Villa Suites even include backgammon and chess tables. Naturally, all accommodation types are ecologically conscious.

 A wealth of dining options also awaits: besides the all-purpose main restaurant, there is a gourmet cellar and over-water bar and lounge, and opportunities to arrange personal degustation dinners, private barbecues and island picnics.  Try the Six Senses signature treatments at the spa, or just practice some ayurvedic programs with help from doctors.
