SONEVA CELEBRATES NEW LIFE
Soneva Jani
During the Easter period, Soneva Jani is expecting the arrival of up to 100 baby sea turtles, which are due to hatch between April 11–21. The hatchlings are the offspring of a green sea turtle that visited Soneva Jani on the night of Valentines’ Day. Her unusual arrival prompted us to name the beach on which she made her nest Serendipity Beach.
Turtle enthusiasts can join us for nightly viewings of the nest. The resort has something special in store if the eggs hatch during the Easter weekend, with each villa receiving a bottle of Louis Roederer’s biodynamic Cristal Champagne to commemorate the event. If the eggs don’t hatch on Easter Sunday, Soneva will donate USD 1,000 per villa to the Olive Ridley Foundation. Meanwhile, guests can enjoy the classic Soneva Easter Egg Hunt – with 500 brightly coloured eggs to be found, the whole family can get involved.
