Soneva Jani

A Businessclass Verified Hotel

Setting the standard for sustainable luxury in the Maldives, Soneva Jani is the visionary creation of Eva and Sonu Shivdasani, the celebrated hoteliers behind Soneva Fushi. Nestled in the pristine Noonu Atoll, this exclusive resort spans five islands and features 24 iconic Water Retreats along with 27 recently added Water Reserves, each promising unrivaled privacy and panoramic lagoon views. Soneva Jani is renowned for its innovative design—most villas include private water slides and retractable roofs for stargazing, blending playful touches with sophisticated comfort. 

Beyond its lavish accommodation, Soneva Jani offers curated experiences for both couples and families. Guests enjoy access to private white-sand beaches, tranquil lagoons, outdoor cinema screenings under the stars, luxury yacht excursions, and a dedicated wine cellar for bespoke tastings. The resort’s four-suite wellness center delivers holistic treatments, complemented by a comprehensive children’s club, state-of-the-art gym, PADI-certified dive center, and a leading water sports hub. Soneva Jani’s observatory, led by an in-house astronomer, provides one of the Indian Ocean’s premier stargazing experiences. The heart of the resort, The Gathering, serves as the culinary epicenter with gourmet breakfast, lunch, and dinner, while diverse venues like the beachside Crab Shack, in-villa dining, and the yacht ensure every craving is met.  Located on Medhufaru Island, Soneva Jani is accessible via a scenic 45-minute seaplane journey from Malé, offering a seamless and picturesque arrival to this secluded sanctuary.
