Be it a Beach Villa or an Overwater Villa, the views are simply outstanding and stretch as far as the eye can see.

“Best experience ever at SO/Maldives”

Sep 20, 202559giangn

My husband surprised me with 4 nights in a Water Villa at SO/ Maldives during our birthday month, and it turned out to be one of the most amazing trips ever. Everything here exceeded my expectations. We chose the Ocean Water Pool Villa – the room was spacious, beautifully designed with modern décor, and had a breathtaking ocean view. What makes this resort stand out is its eco-friendly concept: most in-room amenities are made from wood or paper (like the key tag and toothbrush), and they use electric buggies for transport – thoughtful and sustainable without compromising on luxury. The dining experience was excellent across all three restaurants, each with its own unique style. At Hadaba (Middle Eastern), the lamb completely changed my mindset – tender, flavorful, and without the strong smell I usually dislike. The restaurant itself felt cozy and romantic. We enjoyed breakfast and lunch at Citronelle Club (Asian), where the food was fresh and the service attentive. One local waiter impressed us with his warm smile, quick service, and genuine care. For dinner, Lazuli Beach Club (Western) offered a truly romantic seaside setting with perfectly cooked dishes. The resort also offers a wide range of activities that made our stay unforgettable. We loved the dolphin cruise and snorkeling adventure, where we admired colorful coral reefs and tropical fish. I also joined the fun pizza-making and latte art classes at their restaurant. A special highlight was the flying dress photoshoot – thanks to Loona and Kanchu from The Nest, who introduced the service and helped me choose the perfect dress, I now have stunning photos on the beach to treasure forever. *Last but not least, the spa was incredible. I visited twice for massages, and both Ari and Moran did an excellent job releasing all my stiffness after a long flight – it was pure relaxation. I truly loved every moment of my 4 days at SO/ Maldives and will definitely come back. This place is a perfect blend of luxury, sustainability, and heartfelt service – a true paradise in the Maldives.
