Soneva Jani

The name Soneva Jani is inspired by a word that means "wisdom" in Sanskrit, and it's certainly wise to spend a few nights here surrounded by the pristine beauty of the Maldives. Most of the 54 villas rest above the turquoise water in their own buildings complete with a separate walkway and entrance. Situated on just three-and-a-half miles in the Noonu Atoll, the lagoon is isolated from the other islands, ensuring you have serenity.But Soneva Jani isn't just about solitary relaxation. Venture out to the property’s 10-plus restaurants and bars, which range from casual to health-conscious to high-end, all featuring local seafood and organic produce. The resort also hosts an array of experiences, including sunset cruises on a traditional dhoni boat, snorkeling, stargazing, water sports, movie screenings over the lagoon and more. For spa services, choose from two Soneva Soul wellness facilities — one over the water and the other on land over the treetops — which house a dedicated ayurvedic center. With so much to do at the resort, you won't need to leave this little slice of paradise for anything.
