Soneva Jani
Medhufaru
Famous for its overwater villas with slides and retractable roofs, where you can lie in bed and watch the stars or slide straight into the lagoon. It is one of the Maldives' top honeymoon islands.
Soneva Jani opened in 2016 on Medhufaru island in the southeastern part of Noonu Atoll, along a lagoon about 5 km long. Its signature is its large overwater villas. The master bedroom roof opens electrically so you can lie back and watch the stars, terrace slides drop straight into the lagoon, and some villas have private pools. The island offers complimentary experiences such as an astronomical observatory, an open-air overwater cinema, and chocolate and ice-cream rooms, and environmental conservation runs throughout. Prices are among the highest in the Maldives, and peak-season bookings often need to be made several months in advance. A seaplane from Malé takes about 45 minutes. You can also take a domestic flight to Maafaru Airport and transfer by speedboat.
