A blissful sanctuary amidst the sparkling turquoise lagoon of the Maldives, Soneva Jani is a leading choice of LGBTQ+ friendly accommodation amongst our travel experts.
Lying within the tranquil waters of the Noonu Atoll, Soneva Jani presents a haven where sun-drenched blue skies and azure seas create a breathtaking canvas in every direction.
Discover the heart of Soneva Jani at The Gathering, an impressive three-story structure housing the resort’s main dining outlets, as well as an observatory, a rejuvenating spa, and a water sports and dive centre. Additional highlights include an overwater silent cinema, a tennis court, and labyrinth gardens.
Recognized as one of the world’s lowest-density resorts, Soneva Jani’s meticulously designed over-water and island residences cater to those seeking the ultimate in privacy, space, and panoramic ocean views, as well as direct access to marine wonders and thrilling watersports.
Each overwater villa is adorned with private pools, waterslides leading into the lagoon, and a master bedroom with a retractable roof. Meanwhile, the seven island villas, just steps away from the pristine beach, boast private pools and expansive indoor-outdoor spaces.
Conveniently located, Soneva Jani is accessible via a scenic 40-minute seaplane ride from Male International Airport or a one-hour speedboat journey from Soneva Fushi, the resort’s sister property. The two can even be combined to create one incredible trip, where you can bask in the extravagance of Maldivian paradise.

Despite the Maldives having problematic laws regarding LGBTQ+ rights, it remains one of Out Of Office’s most popular destinations. The Maldives is made up of a collection of private islands, each essentially run by the resort that occupies it. This unique geography allows for a more private and controlled environment, where resorts can create welcoming and inclusive spaces for LGBTQ+ travelers.
Out Of Office works with a carefully selected range of resorts in the Maldives, many of which have LGBTQ+ management and a strong commitment to providing a safe, respectful, and luxurious experience for all guests.
These resorts go above and beyond to ensure that the LGBTQ+ community feels welcomed and valued, offering exclusive amenities, private villas, and personalized services in stunning locations. While it’s important to remain discreet when traveling in the Maldives due to national laws, guests can enjoy a high level of comfort and privacy within these resort environments, making the Maldives an unforgettable and increasingly popular destination for LGBTQ+ travelers.
