DOWN TO EARTH

Begin your day with fresh fruits, juices, and breakfast staples. The day continues with a buffet of organic salads, live cooking stations, the wood-fired pizza oven, tandoors and grills. Sunset aperitifs lead into evening menus where chefs take the stage in the open kitchen.

OVERSEAS by Mathias Dahlgren

From the mind of acclaimed Swedish chef, Mathias Dahlgren, Overseas’ menu is an ode to organic produce and the sea. Dine on pescatarian, vegetarian, and plant-based single plates, sharing plates, and signature dishes for lunch and dinner.

SO WILD by Diana Von Cranach

Dine on a health-conscious plant-based menu designed by the innovative raw food chef Diana Von Cranach, showcasing unique and simple dishes that revive historical, nearly-forgotten traditional recipes from the Indonesian Spice Islands and South East Asia.

Ninety percent of the ingredients come freshly picked from Soneva Jani’s organic garden and most dishes will be raw. Expect some unusual ingredients, as well as healing herbs and botanics.

SO PRIMITIVE

Gather together for a dining experience that brings the element of fire to the fore. So Primitive’s centrepiece is a fire pit where different cooking techniques are honoured. Think roasting, grilling, searing and cooking in a kettle, clay pots (on coals), salt-crusted baking and cooking over coals. Choose from a menu that features fresh seafood, meats, and plant-based dishes.

SO IMAGINATIVE

Seating up to 20 guests, So Imaginative is a private room perfect for celebrations. The sommeliers can also create inspired wine tastings and wine dinners here.

SO ENGAGING

So Engaging is the chef’s table, which offers a mystery menu for five very special guests. Get a front row seat to the action, and converse with our chef as he prepares exciting, delicious dishes for his guests of honour.

SO STARSTRUCK

Gaze towards the heavens at the first overwater observatory in the Maldives. Sit at one of the four dining tables around the telescope and dine on an expertly crafted menu while our resident Astronomer is on-hand to help navigate the skies.

THE GATHERING BAR

Drinks and tapas can be enjoyed at any time at this day-into-evening overwater bar. As the sun begins to set, ease into an organic aperitif. The main bar has one of the best selections of freshly made cocktails, spirits and liqueurs in the Maldives.

NORTH ISLAND

Tucked away on the North Island, this spot is perfect for swimming, snorkelling and time in the sun. Enjoy a pop-up dinner of Maldivian delicacies on the private beach, prepared using what the chef caught or picked earlier that day.

THE WINE CELLAR

Housed in the extraordinary wine tower within The Gathering, the Wine Cellar features a selection that includes predominantly organic or biodynamic wines. Chat with the sommeliers or organise a private wine tasting or wine dinner at the destination of your choosing.

SONEVA SOUL AT SONEVA JANI

Soneva Soul spans two facilities at Soneva Jani – the original Over-water Spa and a new Island Spa. Both are designed to exist in perfect harmony with their stunning natural settings and provide an inspiring backdrop for transformative wellness experiences.

In addition, Soneva Jani has a jungle gym, aquatic gym and beach fitness area for exercising in nature, and open-air Ayurvedic and treatment champas.

The Soneva experience begins when you arrive at at Velana International Airport in Malé. You will be greeted by a Soneva Representative holding a ‘Soneva’ sign, who will assist you with your local transfers.

There are two ways to reach Soneva Jani from Malé – a 45-minute seaplane flight from Velana International Airport direct to Soneva Jani or a domestic flight from Velana International Airport to Maafaru International Airport in the Noonu Atoll, followed by a 15-minute speedboat ride to Soneva Jani.
