Maldives
Soneva Gili is located in one of the largest lagoons in the Maldives. Spacious villas are connected by jetties threading across crystal clear water, providing spectacular ocean views from every room. In addition to the sparkling waters, this tiny island provides a very intimate atmosphere, fused with the uncompromising standards that have made Soneva Gili so popular with Abercrombie & Kent clients. Here you will be assured of a wonderfully serene and natural experience, described by Soneva as 'Intelligent Luxury'.
Soneva Gili is all about escaping the cares of the world. Visit the overwater Six Senses Spa where you can choose from a wide range of holistic therapies. Experience a sensual massage, whilst gazing through the glass floor at the underwater world, or get back to basics with a traditional Maldivian sand massage. Begin a romantic evening with a sunset cruise on a traditional dhoni. Head back to your villa and enjoy an evening under the stars, as you sit out on your private deck sharing a gourmet dinner for two, accompanied by a choice of fine wines from the island's wine cellar. While there are plenty of reasons to relax, there is also plenty to keep you busy. Head out on a dive boat, have a game of tennis or challenge your mind with a game of backgammon.

The best time to travel to the Maldives is during our winter months when the humidity is lower and the temperature more comfortable. However, the monsoon season of May to September should not be discounted for travel as the resorts have fantastic offers on accommodation. The heavier showers tend to occur in the mornings or the late afternoons; a perfect time to visit the spa.
