JW Marriott Resort Kaafu Atoll Island

An Insider's Take
'This isn't just another overwater paradise – it's the Maldives' first JW Marriott resort, where luxury meets the raw beauty of a pristine uninhabited island in the Shaviyani Atoll.' What's Special? The resort sits on Vagaru Island, accessible only by a scenic 55-minute seaplane journey that offers breathtaking aerial views of the countless atolls below. What makes this property truly unique is its house reef – one of the Maldives' most pristine coral gardens teeming with manta rays, whale sharks, and over 1,000 species of fish, all accessible directly from the beach.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book your stay during manta ray season (May-November) and request an overwater villa on the sunset side – you'll have front-row seats to both marine life and the Maldives' legendary golden hour.
Don't Miss The resort's signature underwater dining experience at their overwater restaurant, and the complimentary snorkeling excursions to nearby Hanifaru Bay – a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve famous for its manta ray feeding grounds. The spa treatments using traditional Maldivian healing techniques are equally unforgettable.
