Gabrielle H. K. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

Thanks so much for a wonderful stay. Few specifically call outs, pastries and deserts were amazing, coffee was delicious, Hadaba food was incredible, loved the small touches in the rooms during turn down service, special call out to Luna - always had a smile on her face with exceptional service. Massive thanks to Maria for all her help, responsiveness and sorting bookings out. Grounds, facilities and rooms spotless. Great experience started at the airport with your guest arrival representatives, everything ran so smoothly. Only negative to call out...quoted 41 usd$ for a cartoon of oat milk for teas / coffee as a dairy replacement for the rooms. Very excessive!

Massimo B. Friends - Confirmed reviews ALL

This is the dream beach holiday place you expect in the Maldives: white sand beach, crystal clear water, blue sky. Upon arrival you are assigned a butler who will help you with all your needs during your stay. Ours was Arshad: super professional, always available but never invasive. Coming from another resort in the south, the only thing that didn't impress is the sealife: lagoon and nearby areas don't have the reef and sealife you would expect there.

Dear Massimo, Stylish greetings from SO/ Maldives! We are truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful white sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and the relaxing atmosphere of SO/ Maldives. A very special thank you for recognizing Arshad for his professional and attentive service throughout your stay. We are so pleased to know that he helped make your holiday seamless and comfortable, and your kind words will certainly be shared with him. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the marine life and reef experience around the lagoon. While our calm lagoon offers a relaxing environment ideal for swimming and water activities, we understand that guests looking for more vibrant reef life may have different expectations, and we truly value your comments. Thank you once again for your generous feedback and support. We look forward to welcoming you back to SO/ Maldives for another memorable escape in the future. Warm regards, Viu – Guest Experience

Barker V. G. Solo - Confirmed reviews ALL

As a solo traveller, I initially worried this destination might feel geared towards couples or that I might feel bored, lonely or out of place, but SO/ Maldives proved to be incredibly welcoming and well-suited for a restorative solo escape. Every single staff member made me feel valued throughout my 5-night stay. From Mariia, my "Guest Experience Maker", who was always available on Whatsapp to ensure a seamless stay, to the shining stars at all 3 of the property's restaurants (Luna, Adam and Mahudhee - among many others!!) and the spa's talented therapists, Ari, Dina and KC, there were friendly, attentive faces at every turn. While the restaurant menus aren't terribly extensive (breakfast is a semi-buffet that could benefit from a bit more variety), food quality is excellent. I especially enjoyed the Asian dishes at The Citronelle Club, where the depth of flavour really stood out. The grilled Maldivian lobster with béarnaise sauce was a highlight — both generous and incredibly fresh. The all-inclusive offering also felt generous and allowed me to fully relax into the experience without thinking about logistics. Housekeeping was equally thoughtful, with twice-daily service from the warm and engaging Shifaz, whose presence added a personal touch to each day. The Ocean Water Villa was a DREAM. Although the island is man-made and doesn’t yet have a developed house reef, I still managed to spot reef sharks, manta rays and plenty of fish from my villa. Being able to step straight into the lagoon from your villa is truly special, with marine life especially active after brief rain showers. Thank you to the SO/ Maldives team for such a memorable stay.

Dear Barker, Chic greetings from SO/ Maldives! We are truly delighted to hear that SO/ Maldives provided such a welcoming and restorative solo escape for you. It means so much to know that you felt comfortable, valued, and well cared for throughout your 5-night stay. A very special thank you for recognizing Maria, Luna, Adam, Mahudhee, and Shifaz, as well as our talented Spa team members Ari, Dina, and KC. We are so pleased to know that their warmth, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality helped make your experience so memorable. Your kind words will certainly be shared with all of them. We are also delighted that you enjoyed the Ocean Water Villa, the all-inclusive experience, and the culinary offerings across our restaurants, especially the Asian dishes at The Citronelle Club and the grilled Maldivian lobster. At the same time, we sincerely appreciate your constructive feedback regarding breakfast variety and the developing house reef. Guest feedback such as yours is extremely valuable as we continue to enhance the overall experience we provide. Thank you once again for your generous feedback and support. It was our pleasure to host you, and we sincerely look forward to welcoming you back to SO/ Maldives for another memorable escape in the future. Warm regards, Viu – Guest Experience
