SET ON THE SECLUDED Vagaru island in Shaviyani Atoll, JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa is a 55-minute seaplane flight from Malé. Each of its 60 villas comes with a private pool, beautiful wooden deck, and many other luxuries that ensure an indulgent experience. The resort features a library, two pools, a spa, and a kids club. Its culinary destinations are diverse, with five restaurants, three full-service bars, and a wine room featuring 1,620 bottles and 320 labels of new and old-world wines from across the globe.
Begin your gastronomic adventure with a hearty breakfast at Aailaa, the all-day dining restaurant. Open exclusively for lunch, the al fresco Fiamma, located on the poolside, is where you’ll find the best of Italian fare. Kaashi is the resort’s treetop Thai restaurant that serves soulful food with panoramic views; next door, Rum Baan adds to the experience with its range of 98 signature rums from around the globe. Situated over water, Wabi Sabi presents a choice of Japanese-inspired smoked cocktails, sake, teas, and whiskies that make for great aperitifs while you savour a surreal sunset. For dinner, grab a seat at Hashi for traditional Japanese fare, or at Shio, which serves signature meat and seafood grills in a fine-dining setting. Better still, let the chef craft a personalised menu anywhere you like on the island.
