We had a wonderful stay at Joy Island Maldives! Everything exceeded our expectations. The island is beautiful, the beach and ocean are absolutely stunning, and the atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing. The food was delicious with plenty of variety, the villa was clean and comfortable, and all the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. A very special thank you to our host Bota. She was always kind, attentive, and ready to help with anything we needed. Thanks to her, our vacation was smooth, stress-free, and even more enjoyable. Thank you to the entire Joy Island team for an unforgettable holiday. We would be happy to come back again and highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a perfect Maldives getaway!

“The best Maldives vacation”

Jul 16, 2026Kristina D

Dear Joy Island, thank you for having us this June, it was warm and joyful adventure. We’re looking forward to see all of you again. There were 5 of us - 3 adults and 2 children that’s why we have some features in food, accommodation and entertainment. All the staff did their best to help us with children and make our vacation a rest. Our positive experience started from the airport when the Joy Island staff met and provided us to the speed boat. Then on the island we had something like welcome ceremony with drums and drinks. At once we landed we met HAAMID and BOTA. BOTA as our island host showed us main locations on the island and told us what, where and when you can do smth on the island. BOTA answered all our questions during the vacation, helped to order everything we needed. We lived at Beach Family Villa. It was quite new, clean and cozy. Kids were excited the sea is so close. The territory is absolutely clean, filled with green plants and flowers. The place we liked so much was restaurant Market. The food was so various, you can find everything you want there (fish, meat, fruits and veggies, pasta corner, big pastry room, ice cream). The main treasure of the Market is the people that work here. NIHA, NAVEEN, NAZIM, INDAH, thank you for your care, hospitality and attentiveness. You were so friendly and kind to us and our children. You helped us with baby food, you played with kids so we could eat at this time, you payed attention what we like and what we need, and every time you set the table with all we need. Thank you for our last dinner and warm message on the table. You guys have an open heart and please know we really appreciated this. We hope to see you again♥️ TUTU, JUNI, GITA, PUGA, thank you for your assistance. You did our visits comfortable and carefree. Also I want to tell about Kids Club. There is a separate house for children with big playroom and room for classes. MARY, big thanks for your activity with kids. Your master classes was interesting, informative and engaging not only for kids but even for adults. Ksyusha remembers cooking classes almost everyday. So the main thing that I can say is that Joy Island is the best place where we were at the beach vacation. We were surrounded by care and attention and had fun from people, sun and food. Not a day has gone by we think about our Maldives vacation. HAAMID, all our family think you did a great job to all the things work. Your team is incredible. Hope to see you again! Hugs and kisses from Ksyusha and Seryozha!
