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, Soneva Jani is distinctive for combining barefoot family adventure with an eco-conscious, design-led identity.

Nestled along the shoreline, this spacious sanctuary brings everyone together.

A private retreat ideal for small families or couples, our Beach Hideaway is surrounded by pristine mangroves and is just steps from the azure waters of the Indian Ocean. A wooden terrace hugs the private swimming pool to offer ample space for relaxing under sunny skies. The luxurious master bedroom, situated at the back of the villa, comes with a retractable roof, an outdoor bathroom with a bath, and two showers encircled by a water feature.
