Soneva Gili Resort and Six Senses Spa

Family: Children under 12 are charged using existing bedding (daybed) Soneva Gili, a short boat ride from the capital Male’, is set in a sparkling lagoon, with jetties threading across the shallow waters to over-sized villas. The 43 stilted accommodations – plus the vast Private Reserve and The Retreat - continue the Soneva philosophy of Intelligent Luxury. They offer private roof-top and over-water sundecks. Every room delivers spectacular water views. Sumptuous daybeds compliment the rustic chic interiors and all villas feature a host of creature comforts. Several villas feature private Spa Suites. Come ashore for some great dining and equally great wines. Or perhaps a romantic moonlit dinner delivered right to the villa; or a sunset champagne cruise on a traditional dhoni. The Six Senses Spa offers everything expected, and some things unexpected; glass floor-panels beneath massage tables heighten the sensual experience. The Maldives is a paradise for snorkeling and diving and the resort has its own fully -equipped PADI diving school plus a variety of water activities.

Facilities: 45 villas, A/C, in-room safe, hairdryer, CD player, roof top sundeck, 1 restaurant, 1 bar, in-villa dining, wine cellar, water sports, PADI dive centre, Six Senses Spa.

Travellers view: If you are after peace, tranquillity and top of the range luxury, then this resort is for you. Yes this place is expensive, but it is worth every last penny. If you deserve a major treat, then you could do no better that this; it is almost unfair to other resorts, how good this place is.
