This fantastic hotel is among the best luxury hotels in the Maldives, but Soneva Jani’s exceptional amenities coupled with its commitment to sustainability may make it the best.

The Soneva Jani is located on Medhufaru Island, part of a chain of uninhabited islands in Noonu Atoll. Occupying its own island, this luxury hotel stands out as something special, even in this country full of luxury resorts. Many of these island resorts have picturesque villas perched on stilts over the water, dazzling scenery and special amenities, but Soneva Jani takes this to a new level.

The new resort in the Maldives has a total of 57 villas. Of these, 24 are suspended over the ocean. Each cottage was built taking into account the architecture of the area and, to generate these luxurious experiences also incorporated into the construction of the latest developments in technology and home automation. Most of the villas have their own swimming pools and it is even possible to book a two-story accommodation over the sea with a slide that will allow guests to dive into the crystal clear water from the top floor of the casita.

Like every luxury hotel, Soneva Jani also has an ultra-exclusive accommodation. It is a 1,000-square-meter villa, which has three bedrooms and even its own gym.

The offer in terms of experiences and activities of this hotel is great, as it will allow the traveler to enjoy an infinity of very attractive services. In addition, gastronomy is also part of the experience, as the resort has several options available to the client to taste the best dishes and cocktails of the area. The Soneva Jani has a wide range of dining options available at the resort; as well as, on the surrounding islands. From “So Imaginative’s” experimental tasting room that will tantalize your taste buds, to “So Starstruck”, an out-of-this-world dining experience on the observation deck, the Soneva Jani is the ultimate epicurean destination.

In addition, you can find casual overwater dining, where impressive plant-based, vegetarian and fish dishes are offered in a spectacular setting. Diana von Cranach’s So Wild is one of the Organic Garden’s all-vegan restaurants. It offers residents a healthy menu inspired by Ayurveda and highlighting ingredients grown in the resort.

“Keepers of places that have existed long before us, our unique vision is inspired by the magnitude, mystery and enchanting beauty of nature. With our expert hosts as your personal guide, we invite you to explore and revel in the possibility of each moment as time fades and you lose yourself in experiences that will stay with you for a lifetime.” – Courtesy of Soneva Jani Resort.

In addition to its unparalleled sustainable spirit, both in food, architecture and experience, the soft colors of blue, teal and bleached wood set the mood, while thoughtful details such as trunks, frames and other trinkets gave the villa a comfortable and homey ambiance.

This result of the “sustainability trend,” was not established in the last few years, but since the opening of the first Soneva Resort, Soneva Fushi, 25 years ago. This makes them pioneers in this field and they were the first hotel group to combine sustainability with luxury.

The villas at Soneva Jani were created with peace and tranquility in mind. Among a variety of villas consisting of one to four bedrooms, each with its own private pool and its own stretch of lagoon. In keeping with their eco-friendly theme, you’ll find simple yet elegant décor made from natural, recyclable and sustainable materials, with soft palettes that reflect that of their idyllic surroundings.

The private terrace of the Soneva Jani water villas is huge: it extends over the full-size villa, with several relaxation areas, SPA, a huge infinity pool and, of course, the water slide. It can be reached via an interior staircase leading to a terrace and relaxation area from which you can slide down to the lagoon.

A number of key elements go into creating an unforgettable luxury island resort. A trifecta of sun, sea and sand, along with smart service, is always a good touchstone, as is obsessive attention to detail and a sense of fun. On every score, Soneva Jani hits the mark.
