Soneva Gili is a short boat ride from Male' International Airport in the Male' Atoll; a tiny coral island in a sparkling lagoon, with jetties threading across the shallow waters out to over-sized villas.
The forty-five stilted accommodations - plus the vast Private Reserve - continue the Soneva philosophy of Intelligent Luxury. They are crafted from renewable forest timber and natural materials, and offer private roof-top and over-water sundecks. 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. Sumptuous daybeds compliment the rustic chic interiors and all villas feature an entertainment center 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.Fridays.

The 29 Soneva Gili Villa Suites, 8 Soneva Gili Residences and 7 Soneva Gili Crusoe residences are located in such a way that more than twenty metres separates one from the next, affording each total privacy.

The Seven Crusoe Residences stand side by side in the lagoon majestically looking out beyond the coral reef to the open sea. Each has its own private rowing boat for travelling between the residence and the jetty.
