Service or staff was outstanding, best we have ever had in the world.

Resort life isn't for everyone and if you're looking to try something new everyday, you might be better of choosing an island with different restaurants and beaches. There is a boat going to a nearby island with different restaurant choices, but during our stay transport wasn't always available because of the weather conditions. The staff is helpful but also cold, with the exception of a moroccan staff member (can't remember the name).

We stayed in the ocean overwater villa and the unit was amazing! You can tell that the resort is of newer date, everything was spotless and the modern and clean yet trendy aesthetic really relaxes your mind. The breakfast buffet is full of delicious choices, there really is something for everyone. The floating breakfast was also really cool! We got to use the gym: you can keep up with your workouts with new equipment and a beautiful ocean view.

The staff

I recently had the pleasure of staying at SO/ Maldives, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, everything was exceptional. One of the highlights of my stay was the incredible hospitality. The staff went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. I want to give special recognition to Abdulqader, who was absolutely amazing throughout my visit. His kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail made me feel incredibly welcome and well taken care of. He was always available, attentive, and eager to assist with anything I needed, making my stay even more enjoyable. SO/ Maldives is more than just a beautiful destination — it's a place where you feel truly valued as a guest. I highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a luxurious and relaxing getaway, and I can’t thank Abdulqader and the entire team enough for making my stay so memorable.

Just the villa

1- Uncooked chicken 2- Bugs on the bed 3- Slow room service 4- Room service got our food wrong first couple of times

The only thing that was great was the fact that we were in Maldives. They compensated us with an experience to see dolphins, which we didn't see, and also a lovely lunch (which was great).

Carts can be a little bit loud at night.

Interior design, coziness, zoning, mini bar, light, warm pool, etc. Everything was perfect!

1. You’ll wait for any ride for 30-40 mins. So you’ll use a bike unless it’s a rain. Then you’ll wait 30-40 mins each way. At morning you’ll call guest service for 15-20 mins 2. Nothing is free at this resort, not even cola in mini bar. Third time on Maldives and first time we paid for everything everywhere 3. 2 previous hotels were much better for less money. We wanted an upgrade and got downgrade 4. Don’t count on early check in if your flight is at morning, you’ll wait for exactly 15:00 as it is on booking. No drinks will be offered. Well, they don’t have to, but aren’t we looking for service?

1. Close to airport, approximately 15 mins by speed boat 2. Pretty new

It was an amazing experience. The resort was very nice. The water villa was excellent. But most of all, we need to highly commend Sue, the butler of our villa, who was exceptional. Very professional, very helpful, made my wife and myself feel like home.

- Staff are not welcoming hardly anyone is smiling or is attentive across the 4 days I stayed at the property. Majority of the staff have a “ I can’t be bothered attitude” The staff barely say hello when you pass them in the common areas. - I was there for my birthday not one staff member told me happy birthday. I mentioned it to a staff member not even a cake or anything was offered. They did not seem bothered at all. - Food choices are limited you only have 2 real restaurants on the property and a bar that serves food listed as the “3rd restaurant” - Food Choice available for the price is not worth it 5/10 for taste - The sea / beach at the main beach area is not easy to enter it is filled with rocks was not pleasant to walk on and is empty for most of the day - No serving staff on the beach. You have to go back to the bar to order anything. After paying so much you would expect a bit more. - Hotel is built on a man made island so you have less fish and natural elements of the sea missing. It felt like a Dubai palm site.

Newly built resort. The rooms are new and fresh with appealing design. 20 minute boat ride to main island.

We did not get to see or do anything

When we reached there was a storm which stayed for our whole stay. Property management knew about it from an official warning they received from govt. management should have informed us and allowed us to make the decision to visit or to postpone.

Firstly I have to highlight the excellent service, extremeky helpful and kind service & staff. I would like to mention here Maria she was our host, Nalin is the head of bar and made special amazing cocktails for us, also Ashraf , Maya and Luna, they were serving us during breakfast and dinner, and dont forget about Sia who was responsible fir the great music. Dining experience is over 5 star. Location is perfect only 10 mins by speedboat from airport Male ( we had transfer, guy was waiting for us managed the packages we did not have to do anything at all also reverse to the airport they support us with checking in and whole procedure. Thank you for everything, we hade great time, we're gonna go back definitely !! 😍😘🤗

I really love the spacious design of the water villa, especially how natural light flows through the large windows and the welcoming atmosphere. It is also perfect for outdoor activities or relaxing. In addition, the location is ideal, being close to the airport.

We had absolutely incredible experience at SO/ Maldives! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel completely at home with their warm hospitality and attention to detail. The hotel itself is brand new and shiny and beautifully designed, with a modern aesthetic that feels both luxurious and welcoming. Our villa was exceptionally spacious, with plenty of natural light and every amenity we could need for a comfortable stay. Kids capsule is just what our kids need! The beach views were stunning, and we loved relaxing in such a thoughtfully curated space. Kids club staff was super nice and our boys wanted to stay all day if possible. Restaurants serves really delicious food. Chefs are keen to help with special requirements. Staff is professional and kind devoted to makecevery wish come through. Our butler Ahsan went beyond and above to make us happy. Resident manager was aleays around talking to guests which wascreally nice touch. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone seeking a blend of comfort, style, and top-notch service in the Maldives!
