S/O MALDIVES TO OPEN IN NOVEMBER 2023

  • 26 July 2023

The opening of SO/ Maldives, a sartorial getaway situated on a spotless private island and encircled by the Emboodhoo Lagoon, will take place in November. The hotel is only a 15-minute speedboat ride from Malé's Velana International Airport, and each of the 80 individually designed villas is set either immediately on its own stretch of white sand beach or on stilts above the lagoon. This perfectly marries unusual accessibility with exquisite privacy. The greatest in music, fashion, design, and art will be featured in the cultural programming, which is intended to offer a refreshing alternative to the typical resort all-day dining buffet. The ultimate exotic-island experience that will never go out of style can be had by adding an oh-so-chic spa.

The dramatic, structural design of SO/ Maldives was inspired by the artistry and theatricality of modern couture. The hotel's stunning over-water pavilion welcomes guests and establishes the aesthetic tone for the space with its clean lines, cool neutrals, and natural wood contrasted with vivid highlights and a sculptural, red-latticed central stairway. A striking antithesis to the island's lush natural flora, the hotel's distinctive walkways are framed by billowing textiles or architectural timber canopies that nod to the dramatic style of high fashion shows.

SO/ Maldives will establish roots on a paradisiacal private island characterized by sugar-white sand beaches and turquoise waters in the breathtaking Emboodhoo Lagoon inside the remarkable multi-island resort of CROSSROADS Maldives. Just a 15-minute speedboat ride from Malé's Velana International Airport, the "Golden Triangle" region offers world-class diving and snorkelling opportunities because to its abundance of unusual marine species.
