We spent 10 wonderful days at Jawakara Islands Maldives with our 1-year-old daughter, and it was truly a memorable family holiday. We stayed in a Sunset Beach Pool Villa on Dheru Island, which was exactly what we had hoped for – spacious, comfortable, and just a few steps from the beach. The villa was always spotless, and having our own private pool felt like such a luxury. The beach on that side of the island was absolutely stunning, with soft white sand and those postcard-perfect shades of blue and turquoise that you dream about when you think of the Maldives. In the afternoons the sea was sometimes a bit rougher due to the wind, but that’s just nature doing its thing – nothing that affected our experience. One thing we really appreciated was that we were provided with bicycles right away, including one with a child seat for our daughter. We ended up using them for all our movements around the island – super practical and also fun. On the rare occasions we didn’t feel like pedaling, we simply messaged our host Simran via WhatsApp and a caddy car would arrive in no time. That level of service really makes a difference. Speaking of Simran – she was amazing. Kind, helpful, always available, and incredibly organized. She made sure everything went smoothly during our stay, which was especially appreciated since we were traveling with a baby. Nothing was ever too much trouble for her. But honestly, all the staff were fantastic. Everyone we met – from the people who cleaned our room and refilled the minibar, to those who took care of the beach and pool areas, to the waiters and chefs at the restaurant – made us feel genuinely welcomed. What really touched us was how sweet they all were with our daughter. She got so many smiles and gentle interactions every day. It made us feel very comfortable and well looked after as a family. The food was great, with lots of variety and fresh, tasty options at every meal. Everything was clean, well-presented, and well-managed. We didn’t try the excursions or water activities this time, since we were focused on relaxing and spending time together, but everything looked well organized. The spa and gym were also very nice. In short, we left with a real sense of gratitude. Jawakara is not just beautiful – it’s run by people who really care about making your stay special. We’d absolutely recommend it to anyone, especially families with young kids.
