The villas at Soneva Jani offer the crown jewels of pools: most have waterslides sweeping straight into the turquoise lagoon, promising endless hours of fun for the young and the young-at-heart alike. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you think these slides look good, you should check out the resort’s epic two-storey kids’ club, The Den. Soneva Jani is one of the Maldives’ best-known and exclusive resorts for good reason (not just because Gwyneth Paltrow honeymooned here): aside from offering next-level, discreet luxury, it’s truly secluded with access to castaway-style deserted islets, plus features an overwater cinema and observatory, cheese and charcuterie rooms, and villas with retractable roofs so you can sleep under the stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
