For decades, the Maldives has been synonymous with honeymoon bliss. An out of touch of mirage or memories once little ones arrived but in 2025, one of the archipelago’s most elegant resorts is proving that paradise isn’t just for couples. JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa is leading the charge in multigenerational luxury travel, offering world-class experiences for families, friends, and solo adventurers alongside its famously romantic escapes.

JW Marriott Maldives: The Lowdown

From a pirate ship-themed kids club and thrilling water sports to five-star dining and overwater spa rituals, the resort has reimagined the Maldives as a destination for every type of traveller. The JW Little Griffins Kids Club one of the largest in the Maldives is a wonderland for children. Its 13-metre pirate ship, private pool, and more than 100 fun-filled activities (from pizza-making to island exploration) keep young guests entertained while parents unwind. Teens can enjoy a private pool and lounge, gaming zones, and karaoke sessions. Plus, children under 12 dine free — a rare perk in the Maldives’ luxury scene.

Whether your style is adrenaline-charged or laid-back, the Dive & Water Sports Centre caters to every pace. Think jet skiing, parasailing, and kite surfing for thrill-seekers, or kayaking, banana boat rides, and dolphin watching for a gentler connection with the sea. With expert guides on hand, even first-time snorkelers can discover the Maldives’ world-famous reefs in safety and style.

SPA by JW is an overwater sanctuary where wellness is elevated by uninterrupted ocean panoramas. Guests can choose from crystal facials, invigorating body rituals, or restorative massages, then unwind in the spa’s outdoor pool as sea breezes and gentle waves complete the experience.
