JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa: A Luxurious Island Escape

Nestled on the idyllic Vagaru Island in the Shaviyani Atoll, the JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa is a secluded oasis that blends luxury with the natural beauty of the Maldives. Opened in November 2019, this resort features 60 spacious villas, each with a private pool and wooden sunbathing deck, offering stunning views of the Indian Ocean. The villas draw inspiration from the local Maldivian culture, incorporating colors and materials that highlight the island destination. Thatched roofs reminiscent of inverted dhoni boats and slanted roof tips echoing white herons add an authentic touch. The resort boasts a range of activities and experiences, including water sports, diving, snorkeling, and island excursions. Guests can also enjoy the Little Griffins Kids Club, a Family by JW™ experience, or indulge in rejuvenating treatments at the Spa by JW. With five restaurants and three bars, the resort offers diverse culinary options, from Maldivian seafood to Thai cuisine in a treetop setting. The resort also features an expansive wine cellar, a chef's garden, and options for 24-hour in-villa dining. The JW Marriott Maldives places a strong emphasis on privacy and holistic well-being. The resort includes an overwater gym, an open-air pavilion, and offers daily workout classes and yoga sessions. The surrounding natural reef, teeming with sea life, is overseen by an on-site marine biologist, ensuring its health and offering guests opportunities for diving and snorkeling.
