JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa

JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa is an exclusive resort on a private 22-acre island in the secluded Shaviyani Atoll. The resort offers 60 stylish villas located on the beach and overwater, each with a private pool and panoramic views of the Indian Ocean.

Villa architecture is inspired by traditional Maldivian dhoni boats — thatched roofs resemble upturned boat hulls, while slanted roof tips recall white herons dipping their heads into the water. Beach villas are surrounded by tropical vegetation with direct access to the lagoon, while overwater villas rise above crystal-clear waters on private wooden decks.

The resort features 5 international cuisine restaurants, 3 bars, a wine cellar, and various beach dining options. The spa center offers treatments using Aromatherapy Associates products, a fitness center with ocean views, and complimentary yoga sessions twice daily. The diving center organizes coral reef dives, with water sports, snorkeling, and marine excursions available.

Each villa is equipped with personal Thakuru (butler) service, air conditioning, 55-inch satellite TV, minibar, wine fridge, coffee machine, safe, and complimentary Wi-Fi. Marble bathrooms include separate bathtub, rain shower, double vanity, toilet, and bidet. Twice-daily housekeeping with evening turndown service is provided.
