Soneva Gili Resort & Spa

Soneva Gili, a very relaxed resort, is a tiny coral island in a sparkling lagoon only a ten-minute boat ride from Male. Over-water accommodation, natural design, an award winning spa, excellent food and wine combine to make this a superb hideaway. The forty-four stilted accommodations are crafted from natural materials and offer roof-top and over-water sundecks, featuring open air bathrooms and sumptuous daybeds. All villas stretch out from the main island along jetties out into the lagoon creating a wonderful serene atmosphere. The Six Senses Spa offers a whole range of treatments and glass floor-panels beneath massage tables heighten the sensual experience. Why not try a Maldivian sand massage. The resort has its own fully -equipped PADI diving school plus a variety of water sports. This must be one of the best places in the world to dive or learn to dive
