The Maldives has long been celebrated as the quintessential romantic getaway, but the JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa is now embracing a broader audience, welcoming travelers of all kinds—from families with children and teens to couples and solo adventurers. Whether guests seek thrilling marine escapades, exceptional dining experiences, or a wellness retreat away from everyday stresses, the resort offers a diverse array of activities and amenities designed to create lasting memories for everyone.
Families with young children and teenagers are particularly well catered for at the JW™ Little Griffins Kids Club, one of the Maldives’ largest dedicated children’s spaces. Inspired by a pirate shipwreck on the beach, the outdoor area features a 13-meter pirate ship, a private pool for kids, and child-sized furniture including mini sun loungers. The club offers over 100 engaging activities such as pizza making, island exploration, kite flying, sandcastle building, and the energetic JW Beach Olympics. Dining is made easy for families, as children under 12 eat for free. Teens have their own exclusive space complete with a private pool and lounge, plus access to indoor entertainment options like PlayStation gaming and karaoke, ensuring boredom is never an option.
For those drawn to water activities, the resort’s Dive & Water Sports Center invites guests to immerse themselves in the Maldives’ spectacular natural surroundings. From snorkeling among vibrant coral reefs and scuba diving to dolphin watching and deep-sea fishing, options abound for every interest and skill level. Adventure enthusiasts can take part in jet skiing, parasailing, wakeboarding, water-skiing, and kite surfing, while those seeking a gentler pace might enjoy kayaking, paddleboarding, snorkeling, or a leisurely banana boat ride. Expert guides ensure all experiences are safe, enjoyable, and unforgettable amid the crystal-clear Indian Ocean waters.
Guests looking to unwind and recharge can retreat to the SPA by JW, an overwater sanctuary that blends contemporary design with the soothing rhythm of the sea. The spa offers a range of personalized wellness treatments, including deeply restorative massages, crystal facial therapies, and invigorating body rituals that nurture mind and body alike. Visitors can complement their spa journey with a peaceful swim in the outdoor pool, surrounded by sparkling waters and gentle ocean breezes that create an ideal environment for relaxation.
Culinary delights abound at the resort’s five distinctive restaurants, where guests can travel from Italy to Japan without leaving the island. Italian dishes are showcased at Fiamma, while Kaashi offers Thai specialties alongside stunning ocean views. Overwater dining highlights include Hashi’s refined teppanyaki, and Shio serves premium meats and seafood in a fine-dining atmosphere. Aailaa presents global cuisine with live cooking stations, and guests can enjoy cocktails at Wabi Sabi, rare rums at Rum Baan, and carefully selected wines from the extensive cellar. For an extra-special occasion, the eight-course Indian tasting menu at RIHA or private Destination Dining experiences under the stars or within the privacy of a villa offer unforgettable moments.
Solo travelers seeking a combination of solitude and sophistication will find JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa the perfect sanctuary. Designed to cater to those craving meaningful alone time, self-discovery, and the freedom of five-star service without compromise, solo guests can tailor their stay with activities like sunrise yoga overlooking the ocean or private snorkeling guided by expert marine biologists. Spacious overwater villas provide tranquil retreats ideal for journaling, reading, or simply absorbing the breathtaking views. Dining options allow for exquisite meals in total privacy, and attentive Thakuru butler service ensures every need is met discreetly.
