SO/ Maldives was one of the most memorable vacation resorts we will ever stay at. My husband and I had the dreamiest honeymoon stay. The people (especially Sue and Luna) are so welcoming, always there to help, and we never had to lift a finger. Sue was so kind, professional, and always made sure we were taken care of each day. The rooms were incredible; always clean with the best over the water villa experience. I mean, who doesn’t love their own private pool and ocean access? We couldn’t talk up the food more.

Getting there
SO Maldives lies about 9.3 km in a straight line from Velana International Airport, the country's main gateway near Malé.
At this distance from Malé, transfers to South Malé Atoll are usually made by speedboat; the property arranges or confirms the exact transfer and its timing.
The nearest other stays in this guide are Hard Rock Hotel Maldives (950 m), SAii Lagoon Maldives Curio Collection By Hilton (1.5 km) and Adaaran Prestige Vadoo Adults Only (2.6 km). On resort islands, neighbours are usually separate islands reached only by boat, so distance says little about walking access.

Our stay at SO/ Maldives was amazing. The villa and the entire resort was beautiful and clean. The food at the restaurants were delicious. The staff were the absolute BEST. They were so attentive, approachable and friendly and they absolutely made this experience memorable. We were there with a group to celebrate a friend's birthday and our GEM Maria was so helpful in planning experiences and dinners. From beginning to end, our experience with SO/ was awesome and I have already recommended it to others!
It was a great experience. So/ Maldives is very new , quiet and peace. Maria is such an amazing person. She was very kind to us and helpful. Helped us on scheduling our events and reservations during our stay. They also have great different restaurants and very close from the airport. I highly recommend So/ Maldives
