A picture speaks a thousand words – check out these amazing images that will send you packing for paradise.

Island Paradise

You know those photos of bungalows built over turquoise water that look so beautiful that they must be Photoshopped? Well, Soneva Jani is exactly that – for real. The resort’s 25 environmentally sustainable villas are built over stilts with the resort spanning five islands and boasting a near six-kilometre long private lagoon.

Overwater Villas

And what villas they area! Soneva Jani has 11 villas built over water and one Island Reserve villa set on a private beach. Most of the villas feature a retractable roof, meaning you can look at the stars without leaving your bed. All villas are serviced by a “Mr. or Mrs. Friday” – that would be your own private butler.

Private Waterslides

One of our favourite features? The water slides! Many of Soneva Jani’s water villas feature a water slide that launches you from the villa’s roof straight to the turquoise lagoon waiting below. Trust us – you’ll feel like a kid again, no matter your age.

Entertainment Hub Over the Lagoon

Bedsides the villas themselves, Soneva Jani offers amazing facilities and entertainment. The heart and soul of Soneva Jani is The Gathering, a three-storey building built over water. The Gathering houses restaurants, a spa, library and wine cellar.

Easy Breezy Island Life

Life at Soneva Jani is all about carefree island living. The resort is built honouring environmental values and four of the five islands are left untouched, making this the lowest density development in the Maldives. Plenty of peace and privacy – the perfect setting for napping in an overwater hammock.

Beachside Cinema
