A breathtakingly secluded but accessible natural location, effortlessly chic villas, incredible food, magical moments, exceptional activities, an inspiring ethos of sustainability and service that is uncannily intuitive: all combine to form the foundation for gracious living at Soneva Private Residences in the Maldives.
Located on the unspoilt Medhufaru Island in the Noonu Atoll, a choice of water villas and island sanctuaries set within a lagoon of crystal-clear waters, fringed by pristine beaches and blanketed in lush tropical greenery, are now available to own in this new paradisiacal Maldives island resort.
The coveted selection features 24 overwater villas, ranging in size from one to three bedrooms, and 32 on-land villas, ranging in size from 1-bedroom to 3- and 4-bedroom private beach residences. Larger bespoke family villas, such as lavish 6- and 7-bedroom properties, may be built upon request.
Every water villa features private pools that open into their own stretches of the lagoon. Some of the villas even have slides from the top deck, allowing a fun ride into the lagoon below. The master bedroom is highlighted by the retractable roof, allowing owners to lie in bed and stargaze at the touch of a button. Exceptional service is provided by Mr. and Ms. Friday – personal butlers who know one’s every desire before owners even know it themselves.
The effortless luxury living extends beyond the realm of each individual residence to include privileges, services and amenities provided by a world-class hotel. Soneva Jani will be the greatest 5-star resort in the Maldives and will include all of Soneva’s signature features, such as a spa, dive centre, observatory, children’s den, organic gardens and outdoor Cinema Paradiso. There will be an impressive range of food and beverage outlets, plus sport facilities, including water sports and a gym. Villa owners also have full access to all the resort property’s facilities, with special owners’ rates offered at restaurants and bars.
Villa owners and their families and friends may use their villa for as many days per year as they wish. While not making use of their private island paradise, owners may also benefit from attractive rental yields. Every villa owner will receive a share of the profit, should they decide to have Soneva Resorts rent out their villa while not in residence.
Located in a heavenly hideaway setting where imagination is transformed into reality, Soneva Jani is a place of immense natural beauty – this is where the waters in the lagoon have the most vibrant shades of blue not seen anywhere else in the Maldives. A jewel of an island with pure white beaches, postcard palm trees and dense tropical vegetation, Soneva Jani is a scenic 35-minute seaplane flight from Malé International Airport.
The exclusive residential resort community offers escapism in its purest form, where villa owners will appreciate Soneva Jani’s luxurious privacy and laid-back atmosphere. So unique, so beautiful and so faultless – be prepared for a phenomenal experience.
A place of incredible natural beauty
The island of Medhufaru is part of an uninhabited 5-island cluster in the Noonu Atoll. The highlight of the resort is its location, within a 5.6-kilometre lagoon of crystal clear waters with uninterrupted 360-degree views of the Indian Ocean. Completely encircled by the reef, the interior of the main island is covered in banyan and palm trees, whilst a white sand beach rings the entire island.
There is an extensive array of marine life, including turtles, rays and occasionally dolphins, and the lagoon is an excellent place for kayaking, sailing and swimming as it is calm, shallow and extends for miles and miles.
Four of the five islands will remain untouched, so Soneva Jani will be one of the lowest-density developments in the world.
One of the largest islands in the Maldives and highly accessible, Medhufaru is not only reached by direct seaplane flights from the airport, it is also a 60-minute speedboat ride from its sister resort, Soneva Fushi, which was Maldives’ original luxury island hideaway.
Impeccable resort amenities and services of total indulgence
Owners of a Soveva villa will have the privilege of being able to share many treasured moments with friends and family in the natural beauty of their property. Whether a lazy day at home or one that is filled with morning yoga, some snorkelling before lunch and an afternoon of windsurfing or exploring the island, time spent here will be unforgettable. Thoughts of that intoxicating scent of the jungle, the amazing service, the carefree days, will make owners feel they cannot wait to return.
When the sun goes down, the day is far from over. Enjoy a glass of champagne whilst watching dolphins and, after dark, enjoy an outdoor movie under the stars at the open-air cinema. And then there is, of course, the option of indulging in the ultimate luxury of doing absolutely nothing.
The food and culinary experiences at Soneva Jani are both superbly diverse and utterly memorable. On offer are menus from a variety of cultures, cuisines and types, everything from deliciously simple barbecues to elaborate, romantic late-night meals. In addition to the delightful dining venues, add another dimension to the culinary adventures by dining around the lagoon, a Robinson Crusoe-style castaway picnic, organic garden lunches and cooking classes.
Medhufaru was home to a farm for 10 years before Soneva Jani was built and the fruits, vegetables, herbs and mushrooms used in the resort’s kitchens come from the extensive local gardens that remain from that period.
The Gastrodome will include Soneva’s renowned chocolate, ice cream, cheese and charcuterie rooms, dispensing an outstanding selection of premium quality products and flavours from around the world.
In Soneva’s experimental tasting room, So Imaginative, diners will have the opportunity to challenge their taste buds with culinary chemistry, inspired wine tastings, and dinners with perfect wine pairings selected by the sommeliers.
The Main Bar will serve a variety of premium quality coffees, teas and cocktails, perfected by the resident baristas and mixologists. Housed in the extraordinary wine tower, the Wine Cellar features a superb selection of mostly organic or biodynamic wines. Enjoy refreshing coolers, cocktails and tapas throughout the day at the daybeds and overwater catamaran nets, whilst looking out over the sparkling waters and the breathtaking sunsets.
Soneva Jani offers a wide range of experiences, including everything from nature walks and spa treatments, to lazy picnics and water sports, scuba diving, tennis, dolphin cruises and bicycling along the island’s many trails.
The view of the shimmering lagoon from Soneva’s spa provides the perfect setting for soul therapy. Choose from a selection of holistic and traditional treatments conducted by professional and highly skilled therapists using all-natural products. Spa treatments are complemented by the fully equipped gym and yoga pavilion, as well as sauna and steam rooms.
Whist the adults enjoy the spa, the kids will have a great time at the playground, where they can dress up, play with Lego and participate in various activities around the island, including snorkelling, appreciating and learning about the turtles, and much more.
