JW Marriott Maldives Resort Review

Updated: Jul 11

Located 192km north of Male Airport, JW Marriott Maldives Resort is located within the secluded and untouched Shaviyani Atoll. It is a tropical island oasis that meets crystal blue waters and is surrounded by undisturbed natural beauty and marine life.

Located a 55-minute seaplane flight to the north of Male, the crescent-shaped Island offers unrivalled luxury in the stunning environment; its bright, modern villas are some of the largest in the archipelago.

In addition, this resort places a strong emphasis on privacy. Private decks and pools are designed so they can't be seen from outside the villas and in-villa dining will be on offer for couples or families looking for meals in a private setting.

Thakaru Service

At JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa, they place importance on exceptional and personalised service for their resort guests. The helpful Thakuru team will assist guests in arranging a personalised itinerary and also readily recommend customised recreational activities on the island such as spa & wellness activities, private dining arrangements, and a dolphin cruise to name a few.

 

Accommodation


Each room throughout the resort draws inspiration from the natural surroundings and local Maldivian culture, incorporating colours and materials that highlight the island destination. Thatched roofs on the villas are reminiscent of inverted dhoni boats, the traditional Maldivian wooden fishing vessels, and slanted roof tips recall white herons dipping their heads into the water.


Beach Pool Villa

The Beach Pool Villa Sunset offers the ultimate in space and privacy offering the captivating Maldivian sunset view. Surrounded by lush tropical vegetation, the entire villa is very private and surrounded by lush greenery to shield prying eyes. Each villa has its own pool and private beach access leading to the crystal waters of the blue lagoon.

Inside, the décor is light and airy, and it comes with plenty of living spaces for entertainment. Furniture and finishes are made of wood and organic materials, with colour accents in the fabrics referencing the turquoise blue waters and pink-violet tones of the tropical flowers that adorn the islands. The high floor-to-ceiling windows allow the soft sea breeze to rush through the leaves, alongside the abundant natural light.

The marble-adorned and luxurious bathroom includes a bathtub that faces the lush greenery and comes with a separate shower and a double vanity.

With a dedicated outdoor space, you’ll get your own private access to the beach - only a few meters away and sun loungers are placed strategically for sunshine and shade between the sparkling waters of the lagoon and the hideaway retreat.
