As veteran Soneva Fushi goers, we were looking forward to comparing the Gili. We travelled with a teenager and another family with a 7 year old. From the moment of landing, we were met by the wonderful 'Kurt', a true gent, and whisked off to the island where we were met by Marteyne the GM, who greeted us most warmly... more

Overall feelings: From the first second to the last this holiday had something very special, something you can't buy, you only hope and pray that you’re going to get & we got it! I have no doubt you'll get it too, if you stay there. What is it? That total subliminal feeling that everything and everyone is doing all they... more

Heaven on earth for someone loving seashore, with the best of class facilities. For Hedonism to be rewarded, there can never be a place as good as Soneva Gili more

Not a cheap trip, but you get what you pay for. Our stand-alone villa was lovely, if a bit isolated. The location is perfect for a quiet sun & surf getaway. The food was fantastic.

My husband and I were lucky enough to receive a 2 night complimentary stay at Soneva Gili in April. We had just visited Soneva Fushi and were excited to see something really different. I don’t think 2 nights is enough on the island, as we didn’t get to settle in or feel at home properly. There wasn’t enough time to... more

I wanted to stay at Soneva Gili after passing it on a speedboat on the way to the Four Seasons a few years ago The villas look so intriguing I knew it was only a matter of time before I holidayed there. When we got married in August my husband and I decided to spend our honeymoon there and from... more

I recently returned from 9 days at Soneva Gili, and I felt that I should write a review. I find lists easier to follow, so here goes: PROS: 1. As everybody has remarked, the place is absolutely gorgeous, and the Maldives are truly exceptional. I have never seen such clear water in my life, and I have traveled quite a... more
