Travellers' Choice 2024

"JW Marriott Maldives exceeded every expectation. Our Thakuru butler Aishath was exceptional — she anticipated our every need before we even asked. The Duplex Beach Pool Villa was stunning, the kids loved the pirate ship at Little Griffins, and the house reef snorkelling was incredible. Shaviyani Atoll feels genuinely untouched. We will be back."

— FamilyTraveller_Mumbai

"We chose JW Marriott for our honeymoon and it was flawless. The Overwater Pool Villa at sunset was breathtaking. RIHA restaurant — the private 6-seat Indian degustation — was the highlight of our trip. The floating breakfast was magical. The Spa by JW couples' treatment was world-class. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience."

— HoneymoonCouple_Dubai

"What sets JW Marriott Maldives apart is the location — Shaviyani Atoll is far less crowded than North Malé Atoll and the reefs are pristine. We saw spinner dolphins every morning from our villa deck. The dive centre was outstanding with a knowledgeable marine biologist. Kaashi treetop restaurant has the most spectacular views I've seen at any resort."

A Private Island Sanctuary in Shaviyani Atoll

JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa occupies the private island of Vagaru in the secluded, pristine Shaviyani Atoll — one of the least-developed atolls in the Maldivian archipelago. Surrounded by undisturbed natural beauty and thriving marine life, this ultra-luxury island retreat opened in October 2019 as the debut of the iconic JW Marriott brand in the Maldives.

Every villa enjoys a private pool, spacious wooden deck, and dedicated Thakuru (personal butler) service — a hallmark of the JW Marriott experience.

Getting There

A resort Welcome Ambassador escorts guests through seaplane check-in. Advance reservations are required; seaplanes operate in daylight hours only.

Sustainability

Green Globe Certified. The on-island JW Garden supplies restaurants with fresh produce daily, a resident marine biologist manages an active coral-reef restoration programme, and guest-room recycling operates island-wide. Shaviyani Atoll's reefs remain largely untouched by bleaching that has affected more heavily trafficked northern atolls.
