This resort has been a social media sensation, featured on countless blogs, Instagram accounts, and Facebook pages.
With picture-perfect water villas scattered around turquoise water, it’s not hard to see why Soneva Jani is regarded by many as the ultimate traveler’s paradise.
The villas sit on stilts just above the water, ensuring unobstructed views in every direction. As far as the eye can see, there’s an extravaganza of color with myriad shades of blue.
To say that the villas are luxurious is a gross understatement. Even the smallest one, the One Bedroom Water Retreat, comes with a private infinity pool, a walk-in minibar, a study, a rooftop terrace, and a sun deck (you can also book a variant with a water slide!).
If this is already enough to get your head spinning, wait until you hear about the other villas. Hammocks, catamaran nets, sliding roofs so you can sleep under the stars… the list goes on and on.
Safe to say, everything you have ever dreamt of in a holiday house is definitely here. And on top of that, a gourmet restaurant on site serves chef’s specials all day long.
Included in the price is a wide selection of extra services. You can go paddleboarding, sailing, windsurfing, canoeing, or take a snorkeling trip with the resident marine biologist.
You’ll get around on a complimentary bike and spend the evenings watching films under the stars or enjoying the sunset cocktail parties.
And in honor of the most faithful desert island companion, you’ll be served by a private butler, Mr. or Mrs. Friday.
Usually, you ask yourself, “What’s included in the price?” but this time, it’s more of a “Is there anything not included in the price?”.
Soneva Jani's over-water villas feature water slides.
If you like morning swims, you can jump to the slide after stepping out of bed and splash into the azure waters of the Indian Ocean.
Forget about smoke-filled bars with loud people, this billiard table belongs only to you, and it comes with spectacular views - just like the other parts of the villa.
This hammock stretching above the ocean's clear waters is one of the many unique spots around here to watch the sunset.
Soneva Jani's Cinema Paradiso is possibly the most remarkable movie theater in the world.
