Soneva Jani
Noonu Atoll, Maldives
At the heart of a 5.6-kilometre lagoon, Soneva Jani is one of the world’s most exclusive and lowest-density resorts. Located on the island of Medhufaru in the Maldives’ Noonu Atoll, the resort has eight island and 51 over-water villas, split between the North Jetty and South Jetty – each offering inimitable luxury, signature Barefoot Guardian service and uninterrupted ocean views. Discover transformative wellness experiences at Soneva Soul, 13 fine dining destinations and all-inclusive luxury with Soneva Unlimited, alongside aquatic fun, movies under the stars and exclusive events with visiting experts thanks to the Soneva Stars calendar.
Review
A wonderful, watery wonderland with it's iconic wiggly jettys. Soneva Jani is an expansive property, stretching from one end of the lagoon to the other, but the faciltiies on offer are top notch. Their kids club is one of the best I've seen - complete with zip line and swim up juice bar - and the Soneva Soul spa offers every treatment imaginable to keep you feeling refreshed and serene. Director's Cut was my favourite restaurant, where you can dine on delicious japanese food whilst taking in a movie over the water, and The Crab Shack is another hard to beat beachy spot for laidback, feet in the sand vibes. Alongside the iconic water retreats and villas, the epitome of honeymoon heaven with their retractable roofs and slides into the lagoon, Soneva Jani now also offers several palatial villas on the beach too - perfect for families or those seeking additional privacy amongst the greenery.
