SO/ Maldives

Just a few minutes by speedboat from Malé , a tropical gem opens up, welcoming its guests with effortless elegance. SO/ Maldives impresses with its prime location in the sparkling Emboodhoo lagoon and its bold architectural design language - inspired by modern couture. Upon arrival, guests are greeted by an impressive overwater pavilion that sets the style of the resort with clean lines and vibrant accents. Striking pathways, some with soft fabric panels, others with elegant wooden roofs, create exciting contrasts to the lush island nature - like a touch of high fashion in a tropical paradise. The 80 beachfront and overwater villas redefine modern luxury. Each of the retreats has a private pool and a spacious terrace with panoramic views of the ocean; the categories range from villas with one to three bedrooms. Culinary delights start the day at the Citronelle Club with casual all-day dining, whose cuisine combines Pan-Asian creations with a fine European touch.

Imbued with Côte d'Azur flair, the Lazuli Beach Club indulges guests with moments of pleasure right by the sea. Later in the evening, Hadaba entices with Levantine cuisine. Guests can find inner balance in the Wellness Camp SO Spa, where tailor-made treatments, Vichy rainforest showers, steam bath, sauna and a state-of-the-art fitness area promise holistic relaxation.

During the Christmas season, the resort celebrates the "Season of Spectacle": beach galas, a couture-inspired atmosphere and a red carpet under palm trees invite you to celebrate Christmas in a wonderfully sophisticated way. Christmas Eve begins with a sparkling reception and Christmas carols at the Lazuli Beach Club, followed by a sumptuous beach BBQ at the Citronelle Club. This is how stylish tropical holidays can be.
