If you want to visit a natural paradise that feels blissfully remote and come away feeling like you've left it wonderfully untouched, then Soneva Jani comes closer to that than anywhere else. A 45-minute seaplane flight from Malé will transport you to the Maldives' distant Noonu Atoll, where Soneva Jani's five islands are found; the resort itself is only situated on the largest of those. Scan the horizon and as hard as you try, you won't spot another island in sight, only an endless canvas of blues from the sea to the sky.
