Welcome to Soneva Jani!

The Maldives consists of 1,192 islands scattered over an area of 90,000 km². The largest ecosystem is an unbelievable network of coral reefs, the seventh-largest worldwide.

Divers, snorkellers, and water lovers will have the time of their life exploring the sea. Dolphins, sharks, and whales make their home here. Shrimp, crabs, and mollusks are easy to spot, and beautiful fish fill the water.

On land, you'll find mangroves and swamp forests. Travelling to the islets is an excellent way to enjoy some birdwatching. With over 170 species of birds calling the Maldives home, you're sure to spot a few rare ones!

Soneva Jani sits in a secluded spot in the Noonu Atoll. The tiny archipelago rests in the Medhufaru lagoon, surrounded by shimmering blue waters. The main island, Medhufaru, is about 0.6 km². Five small islets surround the mainland, four of which are untouched by humans.

The fastest way to get to the property is through Maafaru International Airport in the Noonu Atoll. The concierge will arrange a private 35-minute speedboat transfer.

If you choose to land in Malé, you can enjoy a complimentary 60-minute seaplane transfer. Be aware that the seaplane only flies until sundown, so you may have to plan your arrival accordingly.

Communicating with staff won't be an issue without any knowledge of Dhivehi. But travelling abroad means learning about people and cultures, which includes language. Try learning a few greetings and phrases to make someone's day a little brighter.
