#09 On The Fifteen, My Honeymoon List · Roof Retractable, Over Your Bed
Every property on The Fifteen earns its place for a different couple — this one is for the couple who wants to sleep under the stars.
Soneva Jani holds #9 on The Fifteen — my shortlist of honeymoon hotels I'd book anywhere in the world — and it earns the spot with the single most memorable detail in the Maldives: overwater villas with retractable roofs, so you fall asleep under the stars without leaving your bed.
The Fifteen isn't a ranking; it's a shortlist where every property earns its place for a different kind of couple. Soneva Jani is for the couple who wants the Maldives at its most playful and theatrical — the property built around wonder rather than formality.
Where Cheval Blanc Randheli is my pick for polish and Joali Being for wellness, Soneva Jani is the one clients describe in exclamation points.

Work with me and you get two things: Fora perks, and someone who knows Soneva Jani personally. As a Fora advisor, my clients receive a space-available upgrade, daily breakfast, and a hotel credit. I know the property and the team, so I personalize your stay, from the room I request to what’s arranged before you arrive, and I’m your direct line to them while you’re there. Rates are identical to booking direct.
Soneva Jani earned its place on my list. Let me match you to the right room, time it to the right season, and build the rest of the trip around it.
