Joy Island

Lauren Henderson

Our first visit to the maldives and joy island and what can we say, as a family we can say the whole experience from start to finish was amazing, literally paradise. All the staff were amazing and treated you like royalty, our over the water villa was stunning and always kept spotless, cleaning staff worked so hard to keep it immaculate and never a fault with them. The entertainment staff were great and always tried to get everyone to join in aswell as Mary and the staff at kids club which is amazing and they offer such a wide range of activities aswell as the play areas inside. The staff in the market were all so lovely and couldn't do enough for you, same with the bar staff they would joke with you, and make sure you were never sat with an empty glass. All staff worked so hard to make sure our stay was amazing. Early on our stay I was given a surprise of a set up marriage proposal on the beach by my now fiance who had arranged with our host. It was simply perfect and like a dream. Staff again were amazing and helped make the moment extra special. The staff that really stood out to us was of course our host Jazey, he was brilliant from start to finish he was there whenever we had any questions or just to check in on our stay, he was available at all times and he made the proposal happen last minute which we will always be grateful for. Then there was Dita who always had a big smile on her face and took us to our table, she was always full of joy, the guy in the van outside serving the food (we have forgot his name) he always greeted my partner with a fist bump and they got on great, the chef making the omelets and pasta was so lovely and always busy, in the bar Mandhu stood out to us for always asking how we were and making sure we had everything we need, there was a few other bar staff but we can't remember there name. The excursions staff who took us on our trips were brilliant, so knowledgeable and made them a great experience. We have booked to come back next year as we didn't want to leave, we enjoyed it that much. It was literally a joy to be there. Thanks to all the staff for making us feel so welcome and special, from all of our family, Lauren, Scott, Benjamin, Tracy & Colin

Our stay at Joy Island Maldives was truly pleasant. The staff were very helpful and friendly, the food was excellent, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. Everything was well organized and we honestly have nothing to complain about. My son absolutely loved his time at the Kids Club! There were so many fun activities every day — his favorites were pizza making and arts & crafts. The staff were amazing, always friendly and genuinely happy to see him, which made him feel very welcome. I also really appreciate that there were no electronic devices, TVs, or PlayStations — just creative play and lots of fun. A big thank you to Mary and Sandu for their kindness and enthusiasm! If I could suggest one thing, it would be great to have the option to dine in the à la carte restaurants at least once during the stay for guests on the all-inclusive plan. Overall, a wonderful experience — we’d love to come back!

My friend and I visited Joy Island to snorkel and dive. We had such a great time. The sea life, food and scenery was incredible. What made it extra special were the staff and their kindness and beautiful energy. We want to give a special thanks to some of the staff we remember but we loved them all! Hillson, Ganga, Dika, Gita, Garcia, Arita, and Abish, etc….

We had amazing experience in Joy Island. We loved the hospitality of Joy and especially our island host, Sayuri. The meals, rooms, services, facilities, views, the ocean was fantastic and we just felt we were in heaven and no regrets for choosing Joy for our honeymoon. What I liked more was the Joy culture, Joy Island provides fun activities and night event parties everyday. The staffs who are all so nice and friendly made me so happy. BIG THANK YOU TO JOY :) hope I do come back! Thank you to Sayuri as well!
