JW Marriott Maldives Kaafu Atoll Island Resort

Feel wonderful and very enjoyed the vacation, and the spa is amazing!!!!

We recently stayed at the JW Marriott Maldives in Kaafu Atoll and overall had an amazing experience. The resort is absolutely stunning — everything is brand new, beautifully designed, and well thought-out. From the villas to the views.. That said, our stay didn’t start off as smoothly as we hoped. Our initial butler, Nour, unfortunately didn’t take good care of us. Communication was difficult, things were often missed or delayed, and we felt a bit frustrated given the level of service we expected. Thankfully, the management handled the situation professionally and quickly. They reassigned us to a new butler, Hamdhoon, and that completely turned things around. He was truly exceptional — attentive, warm, and on top of every detail. From arranging activities to checking in on us regularly, he made sure we were finally getting the 5-star service we came for. He really made up for the rocky start and was a huge part of why the rest of our trip was so enjoyable. Also want to mention Amjad from Wahoo — super friendly and welcoming every time we came by. He made us feel right at home and always had a smile on. And huge thanks to the Sri Lankan chef (didn’t catch the name!) who went out of his way to make sure everything with the food was perfect — he checked on us personally and genuinely cared that we were happy with each meal. Highly recommend — just make sure you’re assigned to someone like Hamdhoon from the start!

I would like to say that my trip was fantastic. The 2 young ladies that did the spa treatment for my wife and myself were excellent and courteous. Their names are Yeshi and Aulia. I'd recommend them to anyone. Also the Manager of the Resort Mr. Musthafeez is a great easy guy to work with and he made sure that our stay was great. I give Mr. Musthfeez a 5-star rating all around. Also the restaurant called Nikkei Athiri was hands down the best food ive eaten in a long time. I would to give a special shout out to the Chef who is from Peru.

Our stay at JW Marriott Maldives was absolutely fantastic! A huge thank you to Daiana, our wonderful butler, for arranging everything so smoothly over WhatsApp—her attention to detail made our trip effortless. Thanks for Joan, the manager who made it so personal and pleasant! A special mention to Athu, Sam, Nafil, and all the excellent waiters who took great care of us at the bar and restaurants. They made our breakfast experience even better with their warm hospitality and attentiveness. Anna (gym assistant) and Fabio ( diving instructor) also truly go above and beyond making sure that every moment is memorable! The hotel is new, with luxury installations and the nature is outstanding ! The time from the airport is about 15 minutes by boat. We can’t wait to come back!

My daughter and I had an amazing stay at the resort this month! The most incredibly warm and welcoming hospitality from all staff. My daughter loved the kids club and all the activities such as island treasure hunt and movie night. The over water villa was stunning, spacious and beautiful contemporary design. Great food, small but nice gym and great snorkel trip to swim with nurse sharks and sting rays! Fantastic convenience being 15 min from airport! We didn’t want to leave- thank you to all the team at JW Marriott Kaafu!

I had an amazing stay at JW Marriott Kaafu Atoll with my family! The resort is just a 15-minute speedboat ride from the airport, yet it feels like a secluded paradise. Our overwater villa was spacious, beautifully designed, and came with a private pool and direct lagoon access. The service was absolutely outstanding, staff greeted us by name, always checked in to see how we were doing, and went above and beyond to make our stay special. Even though the resort was fully booked, it often felt like we had the place to ourselves. There is a fantastic choice of restaurants and bars, as well as watersport activities and spa treatments. Highly recommend to book at least 5 nights to enjoy everything.
