About the hotel

Experience a new level of island glamour at SO/ Maldives, a luxurious escape where castaway meets catwalk among the dazzling azure of the Indian Ocean. Just a quick 15-minute speedboat ride from Malé International Airport lies the resort’s arrival dock — dubbed ‘the runway’ — where guests congregate each evening for cocktails at the Pavilion Bar and the walkway is lit with red neon.

Situated on the Emboodhoo Lagoon on Kaafu Atoll, on a ring of piercingly white sand, this boutique retreat features a collection of bespoke beachfront and overwater villas, each boasting private pools, sun decks and direct access to the turquoise lagoon.

Guests can relax by the technicolour-striped main pool, home to the Lazuli Beach Club, where refreshing cocktails, live music and stunning ocean vistas await. Next door, The Citronelle Club serves up an Asian fusion menu, while signature restaurant Hadaba offers traditional Middle Eastern fare. Experience everything the glistening lagoon has to offer, from a scuba diving adventure to feeling the wind in your hair as you cruise along on a glass-bottomed boat and kayak from beach to beach.

Summary
AI-generated based on customer reviews
SO/ Maldives offers an exceptional luxury experience with stunning villas, crystal-clear waters, and delicious cuisine. The attentive and friendly staff go above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay. While a spa treatment misprint was noted, the resort compensated with a delightful sunset cruise. Highly recommended for a perfect getaway.
