Soneva Jani, Noonu Atoll, Maldives


Noonu Atoll

Part of the magnificent Noonu Atoll in the Maldives, Soneva Jani is a scenic 40-minute seaplane journey from Malé, making it both secluded and accessible. Set within a private 5.6-kilometre lagoon, the resort is surrounded by uninhabited islands and untouched coral reefs. Just a short boat ride away is the protected Maafaru Marine Sanctuary, ideal for snorkelling among manta rays, sea turtles, and vibrant reef fish. Guests can also explore nearby islands such as Kudafari, known for its traditional Maldivian craftsmanship and warm local hospitality. For an elevated experience, private yacht charters can take you to Hanifaru Bay in Baa Atoll (a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, reachable via seaplane), where seasonal gatherings of manta rays and whale sharks offer once-in-a-lifetime encounters.  

"Stepping into Soneva Jani is like entering a dream – the overwater villas with their slides into the turquoise lagoon are simply unforgettable. It's truly a place where you can disconnect and reconnect with yourself and nature, with every detail designed to enhance your experience. The commitment to conscious luxury, from the sustainable practices to the incredible culinary offerings, makes it a truly unique and transformative escape in the Maldives."
