Soneva Jani

Soneva Jani encompasses a collection of Water Villas and Island Sanctuaries set within a lagoon of crystal clear waters, fringed by pristine beaches and blanketed in lush tropical greenery. The highlight of the islands that the resort calls home is the 5.6 kilometre private lagoon that surrounds it; an awe-inspiring azure spectacle that inspires a sense of calm.

Soneva Jani, located in the Medhufaru lagoon in the Noonu Atoll, comprises five islands, the largest of which is Medhufaru, which is 150 acres in size. The resort can be reached by a scenic 40 minute seaplane flight direct from Malé International Airport, a 60 minute speedboat ride from Soneva Fushi, or by a leisurely halfday cruise from Soneva Fushi onboard Soneva in Aqua

The resort offers a range of villa options, from One Bedroom Water Retreat to a Four Bedroom Island Reserve. Some of the villas come with private pools, open-air bathrooms, catamaran nets and in some cases even water slides directly into the ocean!

On the main island you will find The Gathering, a three-storey over water structure that is home to various dining outlets, as well as the spa, library, shopping area and wine cellar. At Soneva Jani there are a number of dining options to choose from, with all day offerings at So Fresh, tasting menus at So Imaginative, the chefs table at So Engaging and dining under stars at So Starstruck plus complimentary ice creams and sweet treats at So Cool.

Guests can also experience Cinema Paradiso, the first over water silent cinema in the Maldives, board a Sunset Dolphin Cruise, enjoy a Robinson Crusoe castaway picnic, go snorkelling in the lagoon or retreat to the spa for soothing therapies. The resort is also a playground for little ones, where they can dress up, play Lego, and participate in activities around the island, including, gardening, protecting turtles and much more.
