‘No news, no shoes’: that’s the only rule at Soneva Jani, though you could add ‘no blues’ (of the emotional kind) to the formula, too. Actual blues abound, from sky to sea, in every conceivable hue of melting Maldivian aqua.

Breakfast can be brought to your villa at any time of day.
The relaxed Gathering Bar will keep you hydrated, whether you’re thirsty for a knee-wobblingly boozy cocktail, a zingy fresh fruit juice (tropical mango and mint or banana and passionfruit, perhaps) or a flute of ice-cold fizz.
Learning doesn’t have to be boring, your little one’s can explore the island, play on the beach or learn about the natural environment, by land or by sea.
