Soneva Jani
The world's most coveted overwater address.
For those who want the definitive Maldives experience.
Sleep under the stars, slide into your private lagoon, and understand why this is the resort that defined modern Maldivian luxury.
The most photographed, most whispered-about resort in the Maldives
410–1,200 m² overwater residences, the largest in the Maldives. Every one has a private pool, a slide into the lagoon, and a retractable roof above the bed. You fall asleep watching stars.
Not a concierge. A 24-hour personal attendant who knows your name, your preferences, and anticipates what you need before you ask.
The world's only overwater observatory in a resort. Champagne. Stars. A professional astronomer guiding you through the Maldivian sky.
An open-air floating cinema. Films under the Maldivian sky, surrounded by water. A setting that makes any movie unforgettable.
“Intelligent luxury”: no shoes required, sustainability as standard, rustic-chic architecture that feels both timeless and deliberate. This is barefoot done properly.

Your shortcut to the perfect trip
Choosing the wrong resort in the Maldives is an expensive mistake. Every property markets itself as paradise, but the differences matter: the reef quality, the transfer logistics, the service culture, the food. We've tested these details personally so you don't have to.
We've visited every resort we recommend, most of them multiple times. We know which villa has the best view, which restaurant to skip, and what to request before you arrive. This isn't research we read online. It's knowledge we've lived.
When you book through us, you're not navigating the unknown. You're following a path we've already walked.
