JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa sits on Vagaru Island in Shaviyani Atoll, with villas arranged between white sand, lagoon water and reef. Beach and overwater accommodation includes private pools, outdoor decks and light interiors that open naturally to the sea. Dining spans beachside, treetop and overwater settings, with bars and lounges placed to make use of the island’s changing views throughout the day. The spa, water sports, pools and family facilities are spread across the resort, allowing the atoll setting to remain central to the experience rather than simply decorative.
