🏝️ Soneva Jani: paradise in the Maldives
Vacations in the Maldives can be different: active, relaxing or romantic. And you can combine all this! During the day – an exciting dive into the depths of the ocean, and after sunset – watching the bright stars. This amazing holiday option is available at the Soneva Jani Maldives hotel on Medhufaru Island. Here you will not be bored either day or night.
Location
The island is located in Noonu Atoll, 169 km from Male International Airport. You can get there by guide plane in 45 minutes. Round-trip travel costs $110 for adults, $550 for children from 2 to 14 years old, and free for infants under one year old.
Housing
59 villas have been built for guests to live on the island, most of them are located directly above the ocean. The main advantage of water villas over beach ones is the slide, which is easy to go down directly into the lagoon. Each house has a terrace with a private pool and a private wine cellar.
The main feature of the villas is the retractable roof. Guests of the island can watch the starry sky of the Maldives right from their cozy bedroom. The nights here will be especially romantic!
Entertainment
Hotel visitors have a unique opportunity to explore the diverse flora and fauna of Medhufaru Island. Turtles and crabs hide among the dense greenery, and the ocean waters hide hundreds of species of fish. A sunset dolphin-watching cruise, coral planting with a marine biologist, or reef exploration with an experienced diver are just some of the activities available.
If sports are closer to you, then do not miss the opportunity to join the world of surfing – there are about 10 popular surf spots near the island. In addition, kayaks, windsurfing, kitesurfing, paddleboards and catamarans are available for guests.
Relax after active entertainment in the Soneva Soul spa. And watch the sunset while watching an interesting open-air movie at the Silent Cinema Paradiso cinema, located right on the water.
And to learn even more about the stars shining above the Maldives, come to the modern observatory built in the center of the island. Here you can observe cosmic bodies through a telescope and listen to a fascinating lecture by an astronomer.
Kids will also love the Den children's club – a two-story playground. Here boys and girls can explore different types of creativity or sports and learn a lot of new things.
Nutrition
The island offers 13 different restaurants, each with its own specialization. Overseas by Mathias Dahlgren will appeal to vegetarians, and Crab Shake has the status of the best romantic restaurant in the world according to CNN. In addition, you can dine right at the observatory or order several dishes during a movie show on the water.
