Phenomenal anniversary trip

TripAdvisor rating 5.0/5

Cody H TripAdvisor review

We had an amazing time at SO Maldives for our anniversary trip. When we first arrived at the airport, they were there to greet us with a sign to a private boat to take us from the airport to our resort. When we arrive to our over the water villa everything was decorated with a bottle of welcome sparkling wine, fruits, and cake. Every Employee was so friendly even the groundskeepers and the maintenance crew would smile and waved at us during the entire trip. The highlight of the trip was both the scuba diving experiences, and the people. Reach me or we would frequently have the same servers for breakfast, lunch, dinner and it is really a testament to how hard the staff works here. Every time they see you, they truly seem excited to see you again. The scuba diving was a seamless process and they allowed us to dive every day that we wanted to go out even at last minute notice. We got to see some amazing underwater, sea life, and some of the best dive sites in the world. Our scuba instructor was consistent through throughout the trip which made us feel very comfortable. The spa was also one of the highlights of a trip and the spa services were very reasonable for higher end luxury resorts in terms of prices. We booked two spa treatments during our trip, but wish we would have booked more as it was very personalized service and perfect for couples. Shifaz did a phenomenal job cleaning our room and every time we would come back from the pool or beach or a dive trip we would have fresh towels, changed linens, and new water awaiting for us. He would check in with us multiple times a day to make sure we did not need anything. Our GEM Ana was fantastic as well and always responded to us very quickly with any questions or concerns and helped arrange meals, scuba trips and boat transfers to crossroads

A truely memorable holiday!

Above and beyond our expectations. The most beautiful resort and location we have ever stayed in. Everything was top quality. The staff made everyone feel special. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Our butler Sue was bright, bubbly and super efficient. Nothing was too difficult for her. The rooms were very large and absolutely beautiful. There were so many activities & so many gym classes ( Abdul the fitness instructor was amazing, good fun & motivating) We were provided with bikes to get around the island.

MigC20 TripAdvisor review

We have just returned from a 4-day break at SO/Maldives and we had a fabulous break! The resort is gorgeous; small enough to get around by bike (provided of course) but big enough to be able to explore whilst having three different restaurant options, perfect for our short break. It's only a 20 minute speed boat ride from the airport, which suited us perfectly as we didn't want to spend a lot of time travelling. The crystal clear water and white sandy beaches are as you would expect in the Maldives, and there was lovely calm bay on the inside of the resort, and some little coves and beaches on the other side, with slightly choppier water facing Male. The beach villa we stayed in was gorgeous; contemporary and stylish, it had plenty of space and we also got a "capsule" for a second room for our son. Private pool and few steps walk to the beach was perfect. Super comfortable, beautifully appointed and great amenities. The restaurant choices were good; the Italian at Lazuli beach club was nice, albeit there was a bit of a mix of cuisines, and not enough pasta choices for my liking, although the pizzas were good; Citronelle was the spot for breakfast, which was really excellent, and Asian and Western food for lunch/dinner, and was probably our favourite restaurant; Hadaba is in a lovely spot on the resorts coastal edge, and is a very good Lebanese/Middle Eastern restaurant, although somewhat pricey for the mezze. The service was really excellent, from the moment we arrived (with waving staff greeting the boat as we arrived at the jetty, White Lotus style!) to our departure; arrival and check-in was seemless, we were made to feel very welcome as soon as we arrived and the whole experience felt special. We were taken care of by Sue, who was our host during our stay and couldn't have been more helpful; we had daily updates on activities, she booked our restaurants and watersport activities, was super helpful with everything, and was just so warm and upbeat. She really made our stay special! Even departure exceeded our expectations, with their staff taking care of us during check-out, from embarking to disembarking from the boat, into the airport, through security and even to check-in! We were waived off at the gate by Mohamed Armeen, who had looked after us all the way through. Amazing service. In short, I couldn't recommend SO/Maldives more highly - we had an excpetional time and made some incredible memories. Thank you SO/ Maldives team on looking after us so comprehensively (and for the special arrangement on arrival for my wife's birthday!) and for making our trip so special. Keep up the good work!

Dear Mig, Chic greetings from SO/ Maldives! SO/ Special, what a fabulous review, your wonderful words have us grinning from ear to ear. From bikes to beaches, private pools to capsule rooms, and all the thoughtful touches in between, it sounds like you truly embraced everything that makes SO/ Maldives so unique. Sue and Mohamed Armeen will be thrilled to read your kind words, they pour their hearts into every moment, and it’s clear they made your stay unforgettable. The birthday surprise for your wife? Mission accomplished! And that White Lotus–style welcome, complete wonder. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another SO/ Special stay, filled with sun, sea, and more unforgettable moments. Until then, the island and our team will be eagerly awaiting your return. Warm regards, Viu - Guest Experience

Beautiful island. Loved our villa—#313. Our cleaner—Shivaz was the best I have had. Pleasant, thorough and couldn’t do enough for us. Vishan was also excellent. Very responsive and extremely efficient. Take good care of these two and all of your lovely staff. They make all the difference in the world to make what could be ordinary service and change it to extraordinary❣️

Dear nancy, Chic greetings from SO/ Maldives! Your review truly warmed hearts all around the island, thank you so much for sharing. We’re so happy to hear that you loved the island and found complete comfort in your Ocean Water Villa. Shifaz is an absolute star, and your kind words about his care, warmth, and attention to detail will mean so much to him. Vishan—responsive, efficient, and always on point—will be delighted to know he made your experience even smoother. Rest assured, we’ll take very good care of these two (and all our wonderful team). It’s guests like you who inspire us to turn the ordinary into something a little bit extraordinary every single day. We can’t wait to welcome you back for round two of island bliss. Warm regards, Viu - Guest Experience
