The Soneva brand’s story continues with Soneva Jani, a five-star and truly unique Maldives eco resort. Located on the island of Medhufaru in a 5.6 kilometre lagoon in Noonu Atoll, boasting uninterrupted ocean views in all directions. The resort is 35 minutes by seaplane from Malé International Airport and one hour by speedboat from Soneva Fushi.
Meaning ‘wisdom’ in Sanskrit, this Maldives eco resort comprises of 24 Soneva Jani water villas and 1 island villa. This five-star Maldives resort is built inside a lagoon of crystal clear waters, with five islands surrounded by pure white beaches, covered in rich tropical vegetation. Four of the five islands will remain untouched so it will be, by far, the lowest density development in the Maldives. Soneva Jani water villas are spaced across the expansive lagoon, offering privacy and extensive views over the Maldives turquoise waters. The island villas are tucked into the lush greenery, providing the ultimate privacy, and all within steps of the beach.
Guests will be treated to a unique ‘castaway’ experience at this Maldives eco resort. Spacious villas are complete with beautifully designed interiors from the highest quality sustainable materials. Soneva Jani Water Villas all open out to their very own stretch of sparkling lagoon and private pool. What’s more, Soneva Jani water villas are one of a few Maldives resort with slide, from the top floor of the water villa straight into the lagoon. Soneva Jani water villas have retractable roofs to stargaze from the master bedroom.
Soneva Jani’s main guest facilities are located at The Gathering, the heart of the overwater villas. This dramatic three story structure is home to Soneva Jani restaurants, spa, library, retail area and wine cellar. It is located next to the Observatory.
