JW Marriott Maldives Kaafu Atoll Island Resort has recently been recognised with two distinguished accolades Indian Ocean’s Leading New Resort 2025 and Maldives’ Leading Luxury Island Resort 2025 at the World Travel Awards 2025.
As the resort celebrates its debut year, these honours mark a significant milestone recognising its unique approach to luxury hospitality.
“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
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.
Its 80 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.
