Shaviyani Atoll

Sirru Fen Fushi Private Lagoon Resort

Set in Shaviyani Atoll, Sirru Fen Fushi Private Lagoon Resort takes its name from a local phrase meaning secret water island, and it lives up to it: a ring of powder-white beach and swaying palm meets a 600-hectare lagoon that fades into the open blue of the Indian Ocean, reached via a 55-minute seaplane transfer. The island's 120 villas mix art and nature in equal measure, built from natural materials and finished with native Maldivian patterns. Choose among mangrove-set beach villas, water villas raised over the ocean, or the more adventurous tented jungle villas, with layouts running from one to three bedrooms and most including a private pool. Dining spans an all-day international marketplace, an overwater Japanese restaurant and sushi bar, and a seafood-focused fine-dining room, backed by a bamboo-clad poolside bar for cocktails and light bites. Beyond the table, guests can sail to a deserted sandbank for a private picnic, join a sunset dolphin cruise, spar in a Thai boxing class, or unwind at the nature-inspired spa, while a dedicated kids' club and teen space round out the offering for families.

JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa

JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa occupies Vagaru Island in the remote Shaviyani Atoll, a scenic 55-minute seaplane journey from Malé that underscores just how removed this half-moon-shaped island feels from everyday life. Its 60 overwater and beach villas, each with a private pool and sun deck, open onto uninterrupted ocean views, with personalised Thakuru butler service woven through every stay. Dining is treated as an experience in its own right, spanning a treetop Thai restaurant, an overwater Japanese teppanyaki counter, an Italian poolside spot, and a wine room stocking over 1,600 bottles, alongside beachfront bars and destination dining set-ups. Families are well catered for at the award-winning Little Griffins Kids Club, built around a pirate ship and nature-inspired play areas, while adults can retreat to Spa by JW's overwater treatment rooms, deluxe suite, and yoga pavilion, or the adults-only Lounge 18 and Pool 18. For those wanting to get out on the water, the island offers snorkelling, diving, sailing, and jet-skiing alongside its infinity pool and pristine beaches — all in service of what the resort calls staying in the moment.
