I have just come back from a 5 day vacation at Soneva Gili and of the three resorts in the Maldives run by the same company that I have visited since late August 2011, this was by far the most beautiful. A short 15 minute boat ride from Male airport, whisks you straight to heaven. As soon as you set... More

If you like to just relax and have super service by nice people, this is the place. Everybody on the island will do whatever to make this a stay that you will never forget. More

I was a bit apprehensive about my stay at a top place in the Maldives. As much as I love diving, beaches and wonderful locations I don’t like pretentious places where dressing smart is necessary and where staff or other guests look down on you because are dressed very casually and relaxing. My vision of my stay at the Maldives... More

My husband and I went to this hotel with our boys (7 and 8). We had the most amazing holiday. From snorkelling with rays, turtles and sharks to private parties on the beach with friends it was truly outstanding. At every point our expectations were exceeded. We are fortunate to have travelled extensively and to have stayed in some amazing... More

We just got back from our second trip to Soneva Gili, our first trip being 8 years ago on our honeymoon. It was amazing the first time around, but has gotten even better. They have a Japanese restaurant now that is really delicious, and the service seems even better across the whole island than last time-though it was also great... More

We traveled to Soneva Gili from Six Senses Laamu, in our second leg of the Six Senses Tour. I was excited to go, but was worried that it would be the same, just different island. I was wrong! The rooms at the Soneva are totally another thing. They are bigger, but also different. In my opinion not better nor worse,... More

Stayed in Crusoe Residence for a week. Amazing service, fantastic food and great hotel staff but think twice before you book a Crusoe Residence (CR). We thought it will be more private and in the better location of the island if we stayed in a Crusoe Residence but we were wrong. Frequent passing boats to the other residences on the... More

Their philosophy, "No News, No Shoes" is one I didn't think I would take to as well as I did! Our stay here was beyond relaxing, mainly due to the wonderful service from the moment we landed. Anything we needed was there before we could even ask for it! The food was incredibly fresh and varied and though most nights... More

Words can do this place little justice...but I will try! My husband and I chose to stay at Soneva Gilli after several recommendations. We owe our friends big time, because we could not have imagined a more romantic, luxurious and relaxing start to our honeymoon. Ateef, our Man Friday, welcomed us at the airport and was available to tend to... More

Unfortunately - the holdays at the Soneva Gili came to an end- too soon. What a fantastic experience and their saying . " no news - no shoes" was executed through out the island. 1st class food, very nice hosts and the close follow up by the management, made these days to the dream an experience of the life time....
