Stay

A Maldivian paradise with a waterslideNoonu Atoll, Maldives

View Map

Remember being a kid and wishing the stairs in your house could be swapped with a slide? Live the dream at the new Soneva Jani, where you can select a deluxe overwater bungalow with a chute that takes you from bed to lagoon in an instant. From Malé airport in the Maldives, a private seaplane will whisk you over some of the nation’s 1190 coral islands to your own wooden castle perched out over crystal-clear water. Here the hardest decision you’ll have is deciding between an afternoon in your private pool or joining the fish in the ocean.

not sure?

Splashing about in every shade of blue on the colour spectrum
Doing cool tricks off the end of your very own waterslide!
The seemingly endless number of water activities on offer, including paddle-boarding, canoeing, wind surfing and sailing
If you’re craving a little activity on land, there’s personal bicycles available for every guest
Waking up every morning in paradise!

You’ll be forking out a small fortune for the pleasure of staying here. (But you get your own slippery dip. Admit it, you know you want one!)
It’ll be pretty difficult to top this experience, so be prepared: all future beach or water activities may seem a little underwhelming after this
