Nestled amidst the celestial beauty of the Indian Ocean, the new SO/ Maldives resort is redefining luxury with a twist of the extraordinary. With a jungle speakeasy, a floating pontoon, and a secret lawn, this resort offers a fresh new take on the luxury private-island getaway, with bespoke all-villa accommodation centred on sensory experiences rooted in fashion and art.
A major benefit of picking this stand-out resort is its location a quick and easy 15-minute speedboat ride from Malé International Airport, in an idyllic archipelago overlooking the crystal-clear, seagrass-free Emboodhoo Lagoon. It’s part of (and a short boat ride from) CROSSROADS Maldives – the country’s first integrated, multi-island lifestyle and leisure venue, with an array of boutiques, super-chic and more laid-back restaurants, and exclusive entertainment, leisure, and wellness experiences.
The resort consists of just 80 stylish beachfront and overwater villas with panoramic ocean views, designed for open-plan living and fitted with solar panels. Each has a private pool and deck, meaning that whatever villa you choose, the sparkling Indian Ocean is just steps away. They range in size from one to three bedrooms, making SO/ Maldives ideal for multigenerational holidays or other getaways with family or friends.
Options include the organic-style Dream Family Beach Villa with a super-hip bunk-bed capsule for kids, sitting in a lush tropical enclave with access to its own private stretch of beach that makes it the ultimate private escape,. Another highlight is the three-bedroom Ocean Water Pool Atelier - vast and two-storeyed, with a wraparound deck on both floors, an indoor-outdoor feel, and a giant curved tub.
The resort has bold modern architecture that was inspired both by its local context and by the world of fashion. Design highlights include a glass pavilion arrival lobby with a 360° view and a walkway where guests can see as well as be seen – as if they were in a fashion show!
We also love SO/ Maldives for its creative and wide-ranging cuisine, beginning with laid-back all-day dining at The Citronelle Club, where you can pick from a range of dishes inspired by flavours from different parts of Asia. Then there’s plant-based Mediterranean cuisine at the playful Lazuli Beach Club with its global DJs and seasonally inspired entertainment, and aromatic Levantine fare served at the atmospheric signature fine-dining restaurant Hadaba.
