Robinson Crusoe Never Had It This Good.
By Jeff Hardy
At Soneva Gili, shoes are not optional. They are prohibited.
This exclusive “no news, no shoes” resort operated by Six Senses Resorts and Spas, built on and around a small tropical island in the Maldives, is known for castaway chic, intelligent luxury swathed in total comfort.
The oversized suites and residences are situated over water. Features include superbly furnished villas, stunning bathrooms and outdoor showers, a holistic over-water spa, and organically grown vegetables and herbs that are grown in the resort’s garden.
Guests have accommodation choices ranging from 2,260-square-foot villa suites to the 15,000-square-foot Private Reserve, with its own spa, a 36-foot speedboat and 24-hour butler service. The resort is the epitome of understated luxury in the middle – and on top – of the Indian Ocean.
