A playful, design-led resort of 80 pool villas in the Emboodhoo Lagoon, just 15 minutes from the airport, with a bohemian beach club.
SO/ Maldives opened in November 2023 on a private island overlooking the Emboodhoo Lagoon, 15 minutes by speedboat south of the airport. It's Accor's fashion-and-art lifestyle brand, and the look is bold: striped pools, bright colour and artisan details.
All 80 villas have a private pool and deck. On the beach there are 27, from Beach Pool Villas and Lagoon Beach Pool Villas to family villas with a kids' capsule and two-storey two-bedroom lofts; the rest stand over the water, up to two- and three-bedroom ateliers.
Citronelle Club does casual Asian-inspired all-day dining, Lazuli Beach Club is the Mediterranean beach club with floating pickleball, Hadaba serves Levantine food with ocean views and Pavilion Bar is for drinks. There's a spa, a gym, a kids' club and water sports, and the reef is a short swim from the lagoon villas.
Good to know
Being so close to Malé, some villas look out towards the city skyline rather than open ocean. The resort's own transfer is compulsory and costs $250 return.
