Eid 2021 Programme

May 10-16, 2021

Dining events, experiences for the whole family and more await.


Eid Programme

Breakfast at Down to Earth

Start your day right with a nutritious breakfast. Choose from freshly cut fruit, pressed juices, a wide variety of speciality coffees. Order international favourites and local delicacies from around the Indian Ocean. Pastries baked each morning, cereals, and so much more await.


So Beachy Breakfast on North Beach

Do you crave a change of scenery? Mix it up and have breakfast on the soft, white sands of North Beach.


Meditation and Breakfast on South Beach

Begin your day with a clear mind and a calm heart. As the morning’s first rays light up the sky be guided through your meditation session before a nutritious breakfast is served on the sands.


Lunch at Crab Shack

Try the Sri Lankan mud crab curry, or the succulently sweet Alaskan and Kamchatka crabs that rotate through the week. Mediterranean dishes and seafood platters make up the rest of the menu, while the highlight of the drinks menu is a wide selection rosé wines.


Lunch and Dinner at Overseas by Mathias Dahlgren

Overseas is the brainchild of acclaimed Swedish chef and restaurateur, Mathias Dahlgren. Located by The Gathering, the overwater al fresco restaurant has a menu that focuses on pescatarian, vegetarian and plant-based dishes. Serving a selection of snacks, sharing plates and signature mains for lunch and dinner, Overseas’ fish and seafood are sustainably caught in local waters, while the vegetables, herbs and fruit are freshly picked from Soneva Jani’s own organic gardens.


Lunch and Dinner at Down to Earth

Dine under the soaring roof of The Gathering on internationally-inspired à la carte dishes from Chef Rana, Chef Ansari and their talented team.


Guess Who’s Cooking

With your toes in the sand you will dine on a secret menu, prepared by one of our chefs. There is no menu, with each dish tailored to your preferences. Our chef will reveal themselves only after the meal, to talk about the concept, ingredients and what inspired them.

Thai Set Menu at Down to Earth

Be transported to the shores of Thailand with this carefully curated dinner menu. Spicy, sour, salty, and sweet elements come together giving Thai dishes their characteristic flavour. 


Dinner and a Movie at The Director’s Cut by Chef Nikki at Cinema Paradiso

Dine on the complex, yet subtle flavours of Japanese dishes such as izakaya, grills, konro, tempura and sushi, all prepared by Chef Nikki before you watch film at the Maldives first overwater cinema.


Dinner at So Primitive

Gather together for a dining experience that brings the element of fire to the fore. So Primitive’s centrepiece is a fire pit where different cooking techniques are honoured. Think roasting, grilling, searing, salt-crusted baking, and cooking in a kettle and clay pots over coals. Choose from a menu that features fresh seafood, meats, and plant-based dishes.


Dinner at So Wild by Diana Von Cranach

Experience a specially curated selection of historic and nearly-forgotten recipes from around South East Asia and Indonesia. Dine on a health-conscious, plant-based menu designed by the innovative raw food chef Diana Von Cranach, where ninety percent of the ingredients come freshly picked from organic garden around you.


Dinner at So Starstruck

Gaze towards the heavens at the first overwater observatory in the Maldives. Sit at one of the four dining tables around our telescope and dine on an expertly crafted set menu while our resident Astronomer is on-hand to help navigate the skies.


Wine Tasting at So Cool

Join our Sommeliers and sample six wines from around the world. A selection of carefully chosen cold cuts and cheese will accompany your wine at So Cool.


Shisha Bar at North Beach with Middle Eastern Desserts Join us on the sands of North Beach for shisha and desserts as the sun dips below the horizon and paints the skies a palette of oranges and pinks.

Noonu Atoll Guided Snorkelling with the Marine Biology Team

The tropical reefs of the Noonu Atoll are within a 10 to 20-minute boat ride from our lagoon. Let us guide you through the marine world full of sea life and corals.


Sunset Dolphin Cruise

Cruise out into deeper waters with a glass of bubbly in hand. Be on the look out for dolphins as the sun sets and canapés are served.


Marine Biology Presentation with our Marine Biologist Ellie

Join our Marine Biologist for a presentation on the mysterious and magnificent creatures of the sea, and get a chance to find out more about the threats our marine ecosystems are currently facing.


Noonu Atoll Guided Snorkelling

The tropical reefs of the Noonu Atoll are within a 10-20 minute boat ride from our lagoon. Let us guide you through the marine world full of sea life and corals.


Jungle Gym

Work up a sweat while traversing the obstacles in Soneva Jani’s very own Jungle Gym course. Use balance, strength and agility to make it through the hanging bars, rope climb, balance beams, rings and more.


Discover the Universe with our Astronomer

Get acquainted with the night skies as our in-house Astronomer points out celestial objects in our universe and beyond.


So Social

Mingle with fellow guests and Soneva Jani’s Management team at our weekly evening of drinks and canapés. Get to know one another and share stories over gourmet finger food, cocktails and mocktails.
