Editorial Verdict
Soneva Jani sets the global benchmark for overwater indulgence — the retractable roof and private observatory are without equal. For serious divers, Four Seasons Landaa Giraavaru is the clear choice, set within a UNESCO biosphere with resident marine biologists and manta ray encounters on demand.
