Stunning Overwater Villa

“I stayed in a amazing overwater villa that was spacious and beautifully designed. The views of the crystal blue waters were even more stunning than the online photos! With a slide that led directly into the lagoon and an open rooftop above the bed, I enjoyed sleeping under the stars – a once-in-a-lifetime experience.” view full review

Really good Dining Experience

“The dining options blew me away! My favorite spot was The Directors Cut, where I dined under the stars and watched a film in the overwater cinema post-dinner. The fresh seafood at the Crab Shack and the variety during breakfast at The Gathering was simply divine, showcasing high-quality and delicious meals every time.” view full review

Relaxing Outdoor Spa

“Although I didn’t get a chance to experience the spa during my stay, I took a tour of the newly opened facility which left me in awe. The design is simply amazing, and I could imagine how relaxing it would be to enjoy a treatment amidst such tranquil surroundings. It's definitely on my list for next time!” view full review

Unique Entertainment Options

“One of the highlights of my visit was Cinema Paradiso, the Maldives' first overwater silent cinema. I loved being able to unwind on plush sofas while watching a classic movie under the stars, complete with popcorn! It created such a magical atmosphere that I still reminisce about it.” view full review

My stay at Soneva Jani was a dream come true. The stunning water villas and pristine lagoon create a breathtaking paradise. The service was exceptional, with a warm and attentive staff who truly care. I loved the great dining options and the unique experiences offered, like the cinema restaurant.

Soneva Jani delivers an exceptional experience with stunning beauty and thoughtful service that immerses you into a world of sustainability and wellness. The highlight was undoubtedly the incredible dining options that introduced us to a new healthy lifestyle. However, the inconsistent service during challenging weather conditions and the need for some villa updates were notable downsides. Overall, it’s a destination I’d recommend highly, but be mindful of a few of its quirks.

Staying at this resort was nothing short of magical. The stunning over-water bungalows provided breathtaking views and a luxurious experience. The attention to detail is superb, making it feel like a slice of paradise. However, I recommend choosing the right chapter, as my initial choice wasn't as picturesque due to tidal conditions. Overall, it was definitely a worthwhile experience.
