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.

      We are simply an online guide to overwater resorts around the world and we don’t do bookings. We have links to the best source to book each resort on each of the pages. Best of luck! -Roger

      Unfortunately there are no overwater bungalows that can accommodate 8 people. Most of them are built for 2 or 3 people and even the rare resorts with 2-bedroom units charge a fortune for those. You are best off looking for 3 separate normal overwater bungalows for your group. -Roger

      I cover most of this in my article on when to go to the Maldives. The short version is that there are pros and cons to any time of the year. It’s really only late May through early July when you might get hours of rain at a time. The rest of the year the rain tends to come quickly and usually end in 20 minutes or less. I think most people actually prefer to go to the Maldives when the weather is worst where they live, because it’s always warm and pleasant in the Maldives. -Roger

  4. I’m just in the beginning stages of planning an anniversary vacation for around Sept if next year so I know it’s to early to book but wanted to know where I should be looking for the best rates on fights from atlanta Georgia. We want an over water bungalow all inclusive or mostly all inclusive lunch and dinner with drinks/alcohol included. And a few activities. If you know of 2 or 3 options that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you..

      There are a few very expensive all-inclusive overwater bungalow resorts in the Caribbean, but none in Bora Bora or anywhere else in the South Pacific. If you really want all-inclusive then the Maldives is your best bet as they have about 25 resorts there that are all inclusive or offer all-inclusive options. You’ll probably get the cheapest flights from Atlanta to the Maldives about 5 months out. And you’ll usually get the best rates at a resort from 3 to 6 months out. Have a great trip. -Roger

      I get this question a lot and it always surprises me. I wish I could help, but we are an online guide to overwater hotels and we have nothing to do with construction of them. You might consider contacting construction firms in the Maldives, since most of the world’s overwater resorts are there and they keep building new ones. -Roger
