WORLD TRAVELLER X SONEVA

BEST FOR GOURMANDS:

SONEVA JANI

Home of the famous over-water villas

with water slides (you must have seen

the incredible drone footage), Soneva

Jani in the Noonu Atoll is a 45-minute

seaplane flight from Malé International

Airport, or a 60-minute speedboat ride

from Soneva Fushi.

This playful resort is an

Instagrammers dream due to the

sparkling sapphire-hued lagoon that

surrounds it, and the view just got even

more tantalising thanks to the variety

of cuisines that are being served during

Eid Al-Fitr.
