JW Marriott Maldives Kaafu Atoll Island Resort has announced its recognition with two distinguished accolades at the World Travel Awards 2025:
As the resort celebrates its debut year, these honours mark a significant milestone recognizing its unique approach to luxury hospitality, where mindful moments, thoughtful design, and heartfelt service come together to offer an experience unlike any other in the region.
“To be honoured with two World Travel Awards in our first year is both humbling and inspiring. These accolades reflect the passion and dedication of our incredible team, the spirit of our island sanctuary, and the shared joy we strive to create for every guest, every day,” said Srikanth Devarapalli, General Manager of JW Marriott Maldives Kaafu Atoll Island Resort. “We are proud to represent the JW Marriott brand in the Maldives and will continue to elevate each guest journey through purposeful, enriching experiences.”
Nestled in the Kaafu Atoll and just a short speedboat transfer from Velana International Airport, the resort blends natural beauty with contemporary luxury, all designed to foster connection and presence. From wellness journeys at Spa by JW, to island adventures curated for families through FAMiLY by JW, to inspired dining at the signature Athiri Steakhouse and Nikkei Bar, the resort embodies the brand’s ethos of togetherness, balance, and mindfulness.
JW Marriott Maldives Kaafu Atoll Island Resort takes pride in its sustainability efforts, highlighted by its ongoing collaboration with INVENA and MIT’s Self-Assembly Lab to develop innovative reef and beach preservation systems that help protect and sustain the natural environment for future generations.
As the resort looks toward its future, these recognitions serve as a meaningful reminder of its purpose: to provide a sanctuary where time slows, nature leads, and every moment is crafted with care with an unwavering commitment to excellence and guest-centric hospitality.
Just 15 minutes by speedboat from Velana International Airport, the resort is designed for indulgence and reconnection. Its 80 thoughtfully crafted private pool villas blend eco-conscious design with uninterrupted ocean views, expansive terraces, and direct lagoon access, offering the perfect setting to unwind, reflect, and savor the beauty of the Maldives at every turn.
