Today: Sonevi Fushi or Soneva Jani, which one is best?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

One of the leading hotel brands when it comes to sustainable tourism and barefoot luxury is Soneva<\/a>, the hotel company that manages two of the most impressive resorts in the Maldives: Soneva Fushi<\/a> (located on its own tropical island) and Soneva Jani<\/a> (located in a huge lagoon with five islands, four of them deserted). Changes are that these fabulous resorts have appeared on your radar (or in your Instagram feed) when you are planning a luxury holiday in the Maldives, since they both epitomize the ultimate Maldivian dream, providing guests with an exceptional one-of-a-kind holiday.<\/p>\n

Many travelers who want to stay at Soneva Fushi or Soneva Jani often wonder which one is best, and that’s also the single most questioned I am asked about the Soneva Resorts. IMHI, Soneva Fushi offers more of a beach & island experience, with more to do and exceptional dining experiences. Soneva Jani offers more of an overwater experience, with incredible villas featuring slides and retractable roofs, and with a focus on tranquility and holistic wellness. My personal advice would be to stay at both resorts and to combine them in one and the same itinerary (4 to 5 nights in each resort) to experience the best of both worlds. Soneva operates daily transfers between both resorts (private or shared), so it’s very easy to get from Soneva Fushi to Soneva Jani or vice versa (just one hour by boat).<\/p>\n

No matter which resort you choose to stay at (Soneva Fushi or Soneva Jani or a combination of both), once you\u2019ve stayed at a Soneva resort, that\u2019s it: you\u2019re in love. There\u2019s no turning back. And apparently, I am not the only one who feels so passionate about Soneva: 60% of visitors to Soneva Fushi, the original luxury hotel in the Maldives, are returning guests.<\/p>\n

    1. ISLAND & BEACHES<\/strong><\/h5>\n

    Winner: Soneva fushi<\/em><\/p>\n

    Soneva Fushi is a tropical paradise unrivaled in the world. The entire island is covered by a magnificent verdant jungle and completely surrounded by a blinding-white, palm-fringed beach and a ridiculously clear, sparkling turquoise lagoon. From a scenic perspective, this is the most idyllic island that I have ever visited in the Indian Ocean archipelago of the Maldives, and its\u00a0fabulous, soft-sand beaches\u00a0easily rank amongst the best in the world. It\u2019s important to notice though that Soneva Fushi does not have a beach club; instead, all of the jungle villas have direct access to the beach (with a couple of sunbeds placed on the sand in front of each villa).<\/p>\n

    Soneva Jani’s two overwater jetties are also attached to a tropical island, called Medhufaru. The latter is one of the largest islands in the Maldives, but it offers a different type of beauty: it is not as lush and blanketed with palms as Soneva Fushi, and mangroves are the main ecosystem. Also, the island is not completely encircled by beaches, and \u2018only\u2019 two beaches are open to guests, but they do come with a beach club:\u00a0there is a smaller beach club (with water sports center) on Medhufaru\u2019s northern tip (North Beach; close to the Chapter One jetty) and a much larger beach club with some restaurants on the island\u2019s southern tip (South Beach; close to the Chapter Two jetty).<\/p>\n
