Soneva Gili is a short 20 minutes boat ride from Male, the capital of the Maldives. A tiny coral island in a sparkling lagoon, with jetties threading across the water out to spacious villas. The forty-five stilted accommodations continue the Soneva philosophy of 'Intelligent Luxury'. They are crafted in a traditional style from natural materials and offer roof-top and over-water sundecks, featuring open air bathrooms, sumptuous daybeds and a personal entertainment center. For the ultimate privacy, seven Crusoe Residences are only accessible by personal boat.

The villas and the residences are spacious with wooden floors. The bathrooms have been designed with a separate shower accessed along an open-air walkway, along its own private water garden.
