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.
