SONEVA JANI

An imaginative journey that began over two decades ago, the Soneva story continues with Soneva Jani, the brand’s newest luxury resort offering. Inspired by a word that means ‘wisdom’ in Sanskrit, 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.

The highlight of the islands that the resort calls home is the 5.6 kilometre private lagoon that surrounds it; an azure spectacle that inspires a sense of calm.

Soneva Jani, located in the Medhufaru lagoon in the Noonu Atoll, comprises five islands, the largest of which is Medhufaru, which is 150 acres in size.

  • The Gardens & Labyrinth

    Medhufaru island was home to a farm for 10 years before Soneva Jani was conceptualised, and the extensive gardens on the isle are still supplying the fruits, vegetables, herbs and mushrooms to the resort’s kitchens. Wander through the Labyrinth, a meditative maze created out of ficus hedge that follows an ancient circular pattern.
