Newly opened, the Soneva Jani Residences Resort is designed to impress over and over again with rather large ‘rooms' that are more homes than anything else. A stay at this resort emphasizes fun and adventure and is extremely kid friendly, making it a great option for those traveling with young ones in tow. All in all, guests will find 24 unique overwater suites to choose from, each styled and designed differently from the next.

Guests will also find a plethora of dining options, adventure activities both within the resort and close by as well as a few great resort features that allow you to wind down after a day of fun.

Overwater villas and suites

All together, there are 4 different overwater rooms to select from, with 3 different styles- a 1 bedroom, a 2 bedroom and a 3 bedroom suite. However different each of these categories may be in space, they all feature the same wide variety of amenities. These amenities range from air conditioning in the bedrooms, water views, a private butler, an adjoining kids sleeping area for added privacy, a walk-in mini bar, a dining area alongside a seating area and a retractable roof in the master bedroom that allows for easy stargazing at night.

 

Though the in-room amenities are impressive in their own right, that’s not where they end. In fact, guests will find even more enjoyable and surprising amenities on their very own private deck which also happens to feature a slide, a nicely sized private pool, sun loungers and an outdoor dining area with uninhibited ocean views.


Resort features and amenities

When it’s time to venture outside of your rooms, you’ll be treated to a selection of dining options from restaurants to a cafe to a few bars, each offering something different, making for a handsome variety of meal options. There’s even a juice bar on-site, allowing you a choice of healthy juices to enjoy as you cool off after a swim in the ocean.

 

In addition to the dining options available, guests will also find an outdoor pool, select water sport activities to join in on, a tennis court, gardens to explore, an overwater silent cinema, an eco-center that’s great for learning and a kid’s group. An on-site spa is also a great option for a relaxing morning in with a selection of massages and treatments. For those who are wishing to bring back a few gifts for loved ones and friends, or maybe even just themselves, the resort’s gift shop in the clubhouse offers some great pieces to choose from.

  1. Hello Roger,
    We are a family of four with kids aged 8 and 5.
    We are planning our trip in the last week of August.
    How’s the climate during this period and how many days it is advisable stay?
    I would like to know about some good kid friendly and all inclusive resorts with good deals.
    TIA

    1. Madhu,

      The weather in the Maldives is almost the same all year round, although there are actual variations from island to island because these resorts stretch several thousand kilometers from north to south. My advice is to choose a resort that you might like and then check the reviews from that same month last year and the year before to see what previous guests said about the weather. In most cases guests don’t mention the weather because it’s warm every day and the rain storms tend to last only 20 minutes or less. From late May through early July the rain can last for hours in certain parts of the Maldives, but in August the storms will be over quickly and sometimes they happen overnight.

      Here are our favorite Maldives resorts for families with great activities for kids (and adults).

      Our favorite all-inclusive resorts for great rates is Meeru Island, and it’s pretty good for families, though not the best.

      Aside from that one it’s hard to know which is the best deal because most resorts tend to offer great deals when they are a bit slow, and keep prices high when they are booked up more. It’s best to just go into Agoda.com and put in your travel dates to see which resorts are offering the best all-inclusive deals for that period. Have a great trip. -Roger
