Castaway Meets Runway: Introducing SO/ Maldives, The Latest Addition To The Coveted Collection of Avant-Garde Hotels

Rooted in the world of fashion, the exotic SO/Maldives is now welcoming guests

SO/ is set to add an exotic, tropical destination to its collection of properties: introducing SO/ Maldives, located on the Emboodhoo Lagoon.

Equally accessible as it is private, SO/ Maldives is secretly nestled on a secluded island along the glittering Indian Ocean; a 15-minute scenic speedboat journey from Malé’s Velana International Airport.

To commemorate its imminent opening, the exotic resort is proud to announce its limited-time The Castaway Escape offer, exclusively applicable for bookings made before January 31, 2023 (opening prices start at USD 890) and available for stays between now until September 30, 2024.

Inside SO/ Maldives

SO/ Maldives is composed of 80 unique villa collections, each of which luxuriously occupies its own space on a divine stretch of white sand. The resort’s exotic and indulgent island ambiance is elevated with a divine selection of restaurant and bar concepts, an opulent spa, and the crème de la crème of music, fashion, design, and art.

Specifically curated for the stylish travellers of our world, SO/ Maldives was constructed in collaboration with leading fashion and art designers in the industry, infusing the resort’s signature sophisticated social getaway vibe onto the premises. SO/ Maldives stands as a prestigious symbol of inclusive, avant-garde luxury, with services that are tailored to all guests seeking to embark on a luxurious escapade — young families, couples, and groups of friends alike.

Representing eight different categories, SO/ Maldives includes a 120 square meter Lagoon Water Pool Villa Collection, a 330 square meter Three-Bedroom Ocean Water Pool Atelier, and a 238 square meter Family Beach Pool Villa with Capsule among other magnificent, all-inclusive spaces. Private pools accompany each property by default, in addition to an attentive and opulent concierge service around the clock.

A Delectable Culinary Journey At SO/ Maldives

At SO/ Maldives, guests are invited to embark on an exotic culinary journey across the Far East, the Levant, and Southern France without ever leaving the island. In addition to the resort’s ever-present, all-day dining buffet travellers can luxuriate in the piquant Asian flavours of The Citronelle Club as well as the smoky and mouthwateringly tender Middle Eastern cuisine at Hadaba. At the resort’s hybrid beach bar and lounge Lazuli, imbued with the insouciant and elegant charm of Cote D’Azur, guests are invited to dance the night away to electrifying live music and masterful mixes courtesy of the resort’s DJs.

Ensuring that your physical and mental wellness are prioritised throughout your stay, SO/ Maldives hosts an all-inclusive Wellness Camp which overlooks the island’s scenic and lush greenery. Ranging from specialist treatment rooms and a Vichy rain forest shower, to steam rooms, a full-fitted gym, and a water sports centre SO/ Maldives equips its guests with all the necessary tools to attain the pinnacle of wellness on their rejuvenating island getaway.

Families are not forgotten as The Nest Kids’ Club and The Zone, the teenagers’ club, feature an exciting selection of toys, a games room, and an outdoor deck for children of all ages.

SO/ Maldives: A Pioneer in Hotel Sustainability

Attesting to the resort’s unwavering commitment to positively impacting environment, SO/ Maldives boasts a range of sustainability initiatives. Its socially conscious eco-labels — including recyclable, sustainable, and ultra luxurious bathroom products by French brand Codage Paris — seek to preserve the beauty of nature which engulfs the resort.

In partnership with Palatino, the socially conscious hotel additionally offers compostable in-villa amenities, ranging from their highly innovative eco-friendly toothpaste to their comfortable slippers, made entirely out of natural fabrics and materials.

SO/ Maldives’ dedication to sustainability does not end with its amenities, as it directly motivates the exotic resort’s food-related decisions and the manner in which it generates energy. In the name of food sustainability, the hotel composts leftover foods which have been composed of farm-to-table, locally sourced ingredients. In addition to its state-of-the-art energy-efficient technologies — including solar panels and environmentally conscious irrigation techniques — the resort has successfully eliminated the use of single-plastics in honour of the divine island paradise in which it is nestled.
