Soneva Jani

Summary

The latest addition to the famed Soneva family, Soneva Jani encompasses a collection of Water Villas and Island Sanctuaries set within a lagoon of crystal clear waters, fringed by pristine beaches and blanketed in lush tropical greenery.

Using only the finest sustainable materials, 25 stylish villas, 24 of which are suspended over the water have been ingeniously designed and beautifully decorated to relax and calm the soul. Every villa has its own private swimming pool with plenty of space for sunbathing and snoozing, whether it be on the catamaran nets, the over water swing seat on simply on a wooden recliner.  And from the upper levels your own water slide, placing you straight into the warm waters of the perfect aquamarine-hued lagoon.

The main facilities of Soneva Jani are located at The Gathering, which is a three-storey structure that hosts the main dining outlets as well as an Observatory, a Spa, gift-shop and a water sports and dive centre.
