Soneva Jani is a resort full of bucket-list worthy surprises. With extraordinary overwater villas complete with their own waterslides that slip straight into the sheltered lagoon, this 5-star resort is undeniably a playground for all ages. It’s a private island paradise in the Noonu Atoll, one of the largest in the Maldives, yet it still feels uncrowded. This isolated location makes it a phenomenal star-gazing spot, and an on-site observatory boasts one of the strongest telescopes in the Indian Ocean for doing just that. Dining in overwater hammocks and open-air movie nights at sunset​ are just some of the unforgettable experiences you can look forward to at Soneva Jani.

Personalised service includes dedicated Barefoot Butlers to cater to every whim, whether it’s booking a private beach picnic with a gourmet chef or a star-lit dining experience with the resident Astronomer.
