Soneva Jani: Childhood Dreams Come to Life

From ziplining through a waterfall to taking a turn at the DJ booth, endless adventures and unforgettable experiences await at the largest children’s zone in the Maldives. 

Inspired by childhood wonder, the new Den at Soneva Jani is an awe-inspiring two-storey playground for the imagination. Covering more than 1,500sqm, it’s now one of the largest children’s clubs in the Maldives and South Asia and is packed with exciting, one-of-a-kind activities and experiences for young travellers.

Featuring dedicated toddler and teenage areas, no guest has been forgotten in the creation of this state-of-the-art, technology-free family zone – from a soothing sensory room for toddlers and areas for dress-up and creativity, to a hidden hangout for teens where mocktails and music set the scene. From morning until nightfall, children can glide through the cascading waterfall on a zipline, plunge into the vast pool from the curving waterslide, dance along the musical piano floor, make conversation with whales, or show off their skills in the games room.

From bioluminescent flooring to hidden infographics on the walls, The Den is ripe for discovery. Hop along the musical piano steps to create your own music, explore global oceanic themes in a 4D perspective, identify the fish that matches your height with the fish ruler, or talk like a fish with Tale of the Whale. A bowling alley, Lego and craft area, dressing-up room and library provide space for books, fantasies and more. There’s also a quiet sensory area for toddlers, a cinema for movie nights, a child-friendly kitchen for cooking classes and a weekly programme of complimentary experiences, specially tailored to young travellers and their families. Upstairs, a dedicated roof deck for teens is complete with a music room, telescope deck, pool and foosball tables, pinball machines, table tennis table set above a reflecting pond, as well as a dry slide for speedy escapes.

A haven for families, The Den’s weekly rosters are tailored to both young children and teens, each filled with exciting, educational and engaging opportunities for children to enjoy meaningful moments at the barefoot hideaway. While parents enjoy some me-time, Soneva Jani’s experienced childminders are on hand to watch over your children’s every move and ensure they enjoy every moment in a safe and secure environment. While the space and daily programme are designed for children four years and older, children under four are also welcome to join if accompanied by a parent or a babysitter.

For even more family fun under the Maldives’ endless blue skies, the multi-award-winning resort has launched the Ultimate Family Offer. When booking a minimum stay of four nights, children aged up to 15 years will receive complimentary full board dining, when sharing with two adults.
