Soneva Jani is on Medhufaru in Noonu Atoll, about 40 minutes by seaplane from the airport, and is the sister resort of Soneva Fushi in Baa. Soneva calls it the place "where slides into the ocean were born": its overwater villas have slides from the deck into the lagoon, wide decks and retractable roofs.
Every villa is large and has a private pool. The entry 1 Bedroom Beach Hideaway is 480 m² with a garden and a private gym, and the 1 Bedroom Water Reserve with Slide is 555 m². Two-bedroom villas run from 446 m² on the island to 772 m² over the water, the three- and four-bedroom Island Reserves and Retreats reach 1,796 m², and Villa 105, a four-bedroom Sunset Water Reserve, is 1,421 m² over the lagoon.
Dining ranges from SAJI, Indonesian food by Chef Ben, and Primitive, Maldivian cooking over an open fire on the beach, to Crab Shack for seafood, Director's Cut for Japanese food with silent films over the lagoon (plus teppanyaki and an irori charcoal grill), the Asian Kitchen in the Garden, The Lagoon Club and Chill. Tipsy brings cocktails by tuk-tuk, and the cheese, chocolate and ice cream rooms are open around the clock. There's Soneva Soul for wellbeing, The Den for children, tennis and padel, the outdoor Cinema Paradiso and the Soleni Dive Centre.
من المفيد أن تعرفPrices are high even for the Maldives, at about $3,000 a night with breakfast for the cheapest villa, and the shared seaplane adds $980 to $1,340 per adult. Soneva lists the two-bedroom villas for three adults (or two adults and two children), so bigger groups need a three- or four-bedroom villa.
