Soneva Jani

Soneva Jani sits in the five-and-a-half kilometre lagoon of Medhufaru, one of the largest in the Maldives, with only twenty-five overwater villas spread far enough apart that neighbours are not in view. Each has a retractable bedroom roof for the night sky and most have a slide into the lagoon. The island runs an observatory with a resident astronomer and an open-air cinema over the water.
