Soneva Jani
Noonu Atoll, Maldives
Why Soneva Jani is one of Asia’s Best 100 Hotels 2025.
Soneva Jani made the overwater villa feel less like a room category than a private realm. Vast residences, retractable roofs, direct lagoon access and an unhurried style of service are matched by astronomy, marine life, imaginative dining and serious family appeal. Few island hotels combine freedom, privacy and spectacle with such ease.
The essentials.
