Soneva Jani, Maldives

An imaginative journey that began over two decades ago, the Soneva story continues with Soneva Jani, the brand’s newest luxury resort offering. Inspired by a word that means ‘wisdom’ in Sanskrit, Soneva Jani encompasses a collection of water villas and island sanctuaries set within a lagoon of crystal-clear waters, with islands 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.

Guests will be treated to a unique castaway experience within spacious villas, which feature beautifully designed interiors made from the highest quality sustainable materials. Each water villa opens to its very own stretch of sparkling lagoon and is complete with a private pool. What’s more, many of the villas feature slides from the top floor straight into the lagoon and have a retractable roof to stargaze from the master bedroom. The island villas are tucked into verdant greenery and come with private pools and are just steps from the white sand beach.

Our villas and reserves offer guests exclusive facilities to enhance the overall sentiment of intuitive and intelligent luxury, including private pools, outdoor decks and direct access to the lagoon.

Chapter Two has arrived at Soneva Jani, ushering in a new era of over-water luxury. Twenty-seven new Water Reserves – the largest and most luxurious of their kind in the world – have been added alongside three exciting new dining concepts and new, extended Soneva Spa Wellness Centre. With Chapter Two comes Soneva Unlimited, a whole new way to discover more, if not all, of Soneva Jani with unlimited dining, beverages, experiences, spa treatments and more.
