Soneva Jani, Manadhoo

"The exclusive Soneva Jani is a great choice for couples, but also for families who want something more than unalloyed idleness. It’s a destination that moulds to your needs and mood. And can we mention the slide again? It’s spectacular whatever your age and shows how this innovative resort always has the wow factor. "

Explore Soneva Jani

Slide directly from your balcony into the crystalline sea. Dine in a secret location, with a menu created only for you. At night, open your retractable roof and gaze at the southern stars.But it’s not all about this style of indulgent hedonism. You can also plant a coral, see baby turtles hatching, and encourage your kids to discover nature conservation. Along with marine biologists, they will help in a beach clean-up and witness a microplastic survey. This is one of the best island resorts in the world and it is expensive. If you can afford it, you will struggle to make a better choice.

Location

This private island is 45 minutes by seaplane from Male in an area with hardly any boat traffic.

Rooms

Soneva Jani is home to probably the best overwater villas in the world. Each is so spacious you’re unlikely to want or need to leave for the duration of your stay. They come with private lagoon access from the bathroom and a water slide on the second floor.

Who is it for

This is an amazing resort for children and adults, with the only real downside being the price. Although do note there is no house reef, so it’s not the best choice for avid snorkelers.

Amenities & Activities

Ride a buggy through the jungle to an overwater Japanese restaurant. Spend an evening at the outdoor observatory. Cycle around the island. But mostly do nothing at all, as you’re staying in one of the best overwater villas in the world.
