JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa

It was a very relaxing and enjoying event, me and my family and I snorkled, dived, and had lots of fun. The service was very nice, the staff is kind and helpful for any needs. All prices make sense because we are on a deserted island. They have to transport the gas, food, and everything here. Overall, the stay here was perfect and relaxing.

My wife and I visited JW Marriott Maldives to celebrate our anniversary, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, everything was exceptional. The food was impeccable, offering a perfect mix of flavors and presentation. The resort was peaceful and serene, exactly what we were looking for. Our villa was stunning, with breathtaking views that made every moment special. The service was outstanding—every staff member went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. A special mention to our safeeru Nour, for taking such great care of us; their hospitality made everything even better. This was more than just a vacation—it was an experience. We will definitely be visiting again!

As I write this, I’m sitting at a Qatar Air lounge waiting to board my plane back to the US. I felt I should share my experience at the JW Maldives. As many have said, Maldives is a bucket list place to visit. My wife and I decided it was time. Since we are Marriott fan travelers, though we have stayed on all different brands, we chose the JW Marriott Maldives for our 12 day vacation. And am I so glad we did. JW is a magical place. Aside from an amazing resort that is pedicured, curated and just beautiful all around, it was its staff that elevated my experience and had made it an unforgettable trip. This place is just magical. It’s beautiful. The food is amazing… now you pay a premium for such amazing food… but for being in an island in the middle of nowhere, I think the food and drink pricing is fair. We booked an over water bungalow for half of our trip and a beach bungalow for our other half. I loved that we did this because we got to experience the island from two different vantage points. It actually felt like we were in two different hotels. We did stay in a deluxe overwater villa that faced the lagoon (Sunset). Plenty of snorkeling to do right in front. The views were amazing. Water is choppy at times but I always easy to swim and relax. The beach villa also faced the lagoon and it was beautiful. It literally felt like an oasis. It was private and I loved hearing the waves hit the sand…. You don’t get that in the over water villas. I can’t choose one over the other one as they both were magical in their own way. If you are looking for a place that quiet, private, peaceful, then look no further, JW is for you. Now, as many have stated, there are better options out there. The JW is the only resort I’ve stayed in Maldives so I can’t compare, however, I can compare to other JW across the world, or even against the One and Only, Montage, Ritz, St. Regis, four seasons resorts we have stayed in other areas and I can say this resort stands on its own and is comparable in so many ways. Now, I do not want to compare as I am aware that comparison is the thief of joy. There is always a bigger, badder, newer, more luxurious resort out there and when you feel you’ve found it, a new one just opened. Every team member knew my name, knew my wants, knew my drinks, knew my preferences no matter where in the island I was. WOW. This was my first at a JW. So many things that the JW team did to elevate our experience, they have been so accommodating and have gone above and beyond. Amazing!🤩

The entire experience was tailored specifically for us. The resort staff was overly accommodating. Our Thakuru, Hassan, was phenomenal and the views were unmatched. I would highly recommend this resort.

As we sit here on our final day at the JW Marriott Maldives, soaking in the last moments of this breathtaking paradise, we can't help but reflect on what an extraordinary experience this has been. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in world-class hospitality, set against the backdrop of one of the most stunning destinations in the world. We had an amazing overwater villa with a maximum level of privacy. Further, a maldivian getaway is defined by the level of service, and Hassan, our dedicated butler, set the bar incredibly high. Always attentive but never intrusive, he anticipated our every need with effortless precision. Whether it was organizing personalized excursions, arranging seamless dining experiences, or simply ensuring that every moment of our stay was as comfortable as possible, Hassan executed everything flawlessly. His warm demeanor and exceptional professionalism made our time at the JW Marriott truly unforgettable. Dining at the JW Marriott Maldives is an experience in itself. Sophia along with her outstanding team, ensured that every meal was a celebration of flavors, textures, and culinary craftsmanship. Their passion for hospitality was evident in every interaction, from warm greetings to expert recommendations and personalized touches. Each restaurant offered something unique, with uncompromising quality and creativity of the chefs. Every dish, whether Maldivian-inspired seafood or gourmet international delicacies, was a masterpiece. Also many thanks to the Watersports Center - their expertise and enthusiasm made every activity an absolute joy. With such an exceptional level of service, it’s hard to find anything that could be improved. Perhaps the only thing we’d change on our next visit? A slight adjustment in the weather – a little more sunshine on certain days wouldn’t hurt. ;-) This resort is a true paradise, not just because of its stunning location but because of the people who make it extraordinary. As we pack our bags with a touch of melancholy, one thing is certain – we try to come back some day!
