How do we rate a property?
We rate all our hotels, resorts, and lodges using our own bespoke grading system. We'll only invite a property into our collection once it's been assessed by one of our specialists. If it doesn't impress us, it doesn't make the cut.
From the quality of the food served in the restaurant to the amenities offered in each bedroom, we carefully rate each property to make sure it meets our high expectations.

About This Hotel
At SO/ Maldives, the first brush of sunrise splashes color across the Emboodhoo Lagoon, and every villa feels like a private promise kept.
On a sleek sweep of a private island in the Emboodhoo Lagoon, SO/ Maldives unfolds as a modern retreat that feels both immediate and deliberately composed. A swift 15-minute speedboat from Velana International Airport delivers you here, to a place that balances thoughtful design with the effortless ease of Maldivian island life. It’s a resort that invites you to explore its rhythms and perspectives at your own pace.
The resort’s collection of 80 beachfront and over-water villas is articulated in clean lines and expansive glass that frames the water at every turn. Each villa has its own private pool and deck, so stepping between the interior and the lagoon feels seamless. The architecture leans into open-plan living with a lightness that draws the eye outward—sea, lagoon, sky—yet with considered texture and warmth underfoot. Whichever villa you choose, the water is never more than a breath away.
Dining unfolds like a series of curated scenes rather than a singular narrative. At The Citronelle Club, casual all-day menus nod to Asian flavors with fresh, spirited energy. Lazuli Beach Club amplifies the mood with creative Mediterranean-leaning dishes and cocktails served poolside or beachside against a backdrop of laid-back beats. For evenings edged with spice and perfume, Hadaba presents Levantine cuisine with wide views over the endless Indian Ocean. A drink at Pavilion Bar feels like the perfect punctuation between courses and conversations, a place to linger over a twilight aperitif.
Wellness Camp brings spa and fitness together in a space where rhythm and rest coexist. The spa offers treatments informed by contemporary techniques alongside signature rituals, with hammam, steam, and sauna to ease into the work, and modern organic treatment rooms that frame views across the water. The gym sits with panoramic vistas that make movement feel like part of the day’s unfolding story.
The resort’s dedication to sustainability is evident in on-site solar energy and responsible practices woven throughout its operations.
For families, spaces like The Nest and The Zone layer in thoughtful zones for younger guests and teens, while water sports and diving bring the lagoon’s marine life into view for everyone.
In the soft glow of a late afternoon, when the lagoon mirrors the sky and the day’s tempo finds its final rhythm, you’re reminded why that first sunrise promised something singular. At SO/ Maldives, the place reveals itself slowly—inviting you to experience its nuances, and to return to that imagined moment where the horizon meets sea.
