About Soneva Jani

Soneva Jani is an upscale 5-star private-island resort in the Noonu Atoll, spread across a 50-hectare estate of five islands inside a protected private lagoon near Manadhoo and reached by a 45-minute seaplane from Male. The property has 59 overwater and island villas, ranging from 1 to 5 bedrooms, with many featuring retractable roofs for in-bed stargazing, water slides from upper decks and glass floor panels over the lagoon. Dining spans 10 venues including So Fresh at The Gathering, Director's Cut outdoor cinema-restaurant, the overwater Japanese counter So Wild and the chocolate and ice-cream parlour, supported by Bed & Breakfast through All Inclusive meal plans. An onsite observatory with a 40cm telescope anchors the astronomy programme, complemented by the house reef with resident turtles, rays and sharks. With a no-shoes, no-news ethos, extensive kids and teens clubs and a 4.6/5 rating from 390 reviews, Soneva Jani is distinctive for combining barefoot family adventure with an eco-conscious, design-led identity.
