I stayed here with my family for a week in early May. I was worried about the weather since the weather forecast was cloudy/rain every day. But when we got there, the weather was perfect! Maybe it rained a few times in the middle of night but lots of sunshine during the day. I requested for villa 18 on Jetty... more

Starting from a practical standpoint: having flown in direct from London by Sri Lanka airways (not a great airline, i am afraid), paradise was ready for us as soon as we had landed in Male: a speedboat anchored by the airport takes you to Soneva Gili in 20 minutes, whilst you enjoy a delicious fruit juice and acclimatise to the... more

Having spent a wonderful first week of our holiday at Huvafen Fushi we thought Soneva Gili couldn't possibly better the experience. However, our week at Soneva Gili was even better. We last stayed at the resort in 2007 and it was excellent, our experience this year was even better. So what made it so special? The staff were exceptional and... more

This review is way overdue but let me get right to the point: Soneva Gili is one the most expensive resorts at Maldives, but you will keep wanting to go back right after you leave because the memories it gives you are heavenly. In early June 2008, my wife and I spent four unforgettable nights at Soneva Gili. We went... more

We spent two nights prior to our come back at Soneva Fushi. Gili is total opposite of Fushi. Water villas, spa and one bar/restaurant are all you get. Honeymooners’ paradise. Quite, scenic, water so blue that all photos taken there look like Photoshop work and sand smooth like feather. On our arrival we were told to keep shoes, it was... more

Spent 11 nights in celebration of my wife's birthday. We LOVED everything about the place and were depressed to leave. Food, service, accomodation, etc., all excellent. Particularly liked that they have their own time-zone, one hour ahead of Male...Gave the impression of an extra hour of sunshine!! Note: They are building a new restaurant which looks like it will be... more

My husband and I stayed at the Soneva Gili for our honeymoon last June and I must say I have been many places in the world but nowhere as beautiful as here. Have been meaning to write a review and finally have had the time. I researched on trip advisor extensively for my honeymoon and I was definitely not disappointed... more

Stayed there 10 days during our honeymoon combined with 7 days in Dubai. Booked an overwater Villa. Service, food, facilities and the location was just a dream. We are already planning going back, cant forget our 10 days. more

The Gili is a more contemporary version of soneva fushi. More easy to use, stylish and still a joy as it is a bit different than the average hotel on an island. The food may be not as good as the soneva fushi or as good as you would expect in Asia...but then it is an isolated island in the... more
