“An Unforgettable Family Holiday at the Joy Island Maldives”

Feb 09, 2026Olcay G

We stayed at Joy Island in December as a family – my wife, our 1.5-year-old son, and myself – and we can honestly say it was one of the most beautiful holidays we have ever experienced. From the very first moment, we felt genuinely welcomed and cared for. The warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail from the staff made all the difference. We would especially like to highlight three amazing individuals who made our stay truly unforgettable: 🌟 Sandu – Kids Club Sandu was absolutely wonderful with our little son – kind, patient, and incredibly caring. It was clear immediately that he truly loves working with children. Our son felt comfortable and happy around him, which gave us, as parents, such peace of mind. The Kids Club was not only well organized but filled with warmth and trust. Thank you, Sandu! 🍽️ Ripon – Chef from the Kitchen A huge compliment to Ripon for the outstanding food throughout our stay. Every meal was delicious, fresh, and beautifully prepared. What impressed us most was the flexibility and care shown toward individual requests, especially when it came to our child. You can truly feel the passion behind every dish – an exceptional culinary experience. 🤍 Aani – Hotel Host Aani was simply exceptional. Always friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring. No matter what we needed, Aani was there with a smile and immediate support, making sure everything ran smoothly. A true host in every sense of the word – we felt looked after at all times. The resort itself is stunning, immaculately clean, and perfect for families with young children. Everything is well thought out, relaxed, and yet very high-end, creating the perfect balance for a family holiday. 👉 Final thoughts: Joy Island is more than just a resort – it’s a place where families truly feel welcome. We would return without hesitation and wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a special, stress-free, and memorable stay in the Maldives. A big thank you to the entire team, and especially to Sandu, Ripon, and Aani – you made our holiday truly special. 🌴✨
