The concept
The forty-four stilted villas plus the vast Private Reserve uphold 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 ultimate privacy, we have seven Crusoe Residences that are only accessible
by personal boat. Come ashore for some great dining and equally great wines or perhaps a romantic moonlit dinner delivered right to the villa. The possibilities are endless.
The interior decoration has been devised to recreate a natural habitat, using sustainable woods, natural materials and traditional fabrics, whilst still offering all the modern day amenities and creature comforts of true luxury. At Soneva Gili by Six Senses we are very sensitive to the environment. The utmost care has been taken in developing the island with respect to its ecological balance.
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 sports. This place tops the list of must-do destinations for those in the know.

Dining Experiences
Food & Beverage
Dining experiences include a romantic, moonlit dinner on the
deck of your villa, a sunset champagne cruise on a traditional
dhoni, or dinners in the underground Gourmet Cellar - the settings
are as memorable as the cuisine. From the fine wines to the
excellent malts, we have achieved a reputation of providing our
guests unique dining experiences.
Main Restaurant
Located on the west side of Lankanfushi offering a superb natural
environment to enjoy a relaxing breakfast or romantic dinner.
The style of food caters to all requirements and offers
a combination of dishes that allows East to meet the West in
culinary terms.
Main Bar
The Bar is a stunning construction over the shallow lagoon and
offers snacks and light meals throughout the day. The lunch
buffet at the bar is a very casual experience, where you can create
your own menu from the wide selection of fresh salad leaves
from the garden, sushi, Mediterranean delicacies, daily catch of
fish, imported meats and local spices and herbs.
The Wine Cellar
Situated between the restaurant and the garden is the gourmet
cellar, initially visible only by the softly undulating woodshingled
roofline. Entering through a doorway sculptured from
copper sheeting and deco-like carved wood embellishment, a
softly lit glass staircase descends beneath ground level to the
cavernous cellar. Lined with a softly dappled satiny-smooth stucco
plaster finish, recessed free-form wine racks display more
than 300 labels. Running almost the entire length of the cellar
is a six-meter (twenty-foot) driftwood tree trunk, slotted with
eight individual glass table tops and personal wine glass shelves.
Wine tasting and wine dinners are hosted by the wine sommelier
as to the requirement of each guest. Guests may either order at
the cellar or from our wine list and have the wine of their choice
delivered to the restaurant or their villa in time to enjoy it with
their meal.
