Jawakara Islands Maldives

Please note that this review is intended to be constructive. Only by providing valuable feedback, one can improve :-) We entirely enjoyed our stay and (depending on special offers for next year), we want to come back in winter 2026. ***Resort Mabin*** The property was consistently clean, well-maintained, and presented to a high standard. The staff was great with always a smile on their faces, with only very few exceptions. We noticed that information (restaurant opening times, spa discounts, charges for in-villa-dining,..) has been either provided by some staff wrong or not at all. We needed to change our villa host, as there were three issues that has led to this decision. We greatly appreciated the complimentary 15-minute photo shoot, which included a digital image. Love our pictures (we bought more for 10 USD per picture). ***Villa and private beach*** Stunning glass front provides breathtaking views of the pool, beach, and ocean, with good privacy due to side plants. Some plants slightly obstruct the ocean view, especially in some villas — regular trimming is needed to keep the great views of the ocean from bed and beach. Spacious bathroom with a semi-open outdoor area, stylish decor, and nice planting. Heat accumulates during the day thus a fan on the ceiling would be great. High-quality amenities, including "Healing Earth" products (even an after-sun gel and a conditioner). Air conditioning blows directly onto the bed, so we put a towel on the AC. Maybe there are specific settings available, which we perhaps did not notice. Ensuring more cleanliness in wardrobes and shelves before new guests arrive. Same for the bushes on the beach, as we found a bottle and plastic there. We have never seen so much space for drying wet clothes. Loved the many laundry lines and a drying rack. Cutlery in the villa would be great. Beach sand is relatively coarse due to coral and shell fragments on the east side (cannot tell you about the west side). Although the beach was cleaned every morning, we would appreciate to have also the coral debris removed. Overall, we did not mind about this condition. But it is good to know for others who see an issue. Same with sea ****, which was slightly present, depending on winds and current. We did not mind about it on the east side as it was just short pieces of **** and not continuously present. Mosquito presence despite island-wide spraying—mosquito net over bed recommended. We did not notice mosquitos during the day, but had bites usually in the morning. Take Fenistil or similar with you. The sometimes open pathway to the villas (just a couple of villas affected) lacks privacy from passersby, but also this was for us not an issue. Ask for sun bed toppers, these are not a standard item in your villa. For rainy days, some cozy seating items on the terrace were great to have, same a rectractable awning. Highly appreciated that I could use the resorts yoga mats during our stay at our villa. Thank you for

Everything simply wonderful...the best vacations destination so far in my life! I recomend the experience to everybody, specially in Jawakara Islands. I would definitely repeat it...there are no words to describe the incredible days I lived in that paradise.

It was an incredible holiday, the staff is very friendly and helpful, the island is simply stunning, lots of greenery, lots of entertainment, you will never be bored. The food in the restaurants is top notch. The cleanest beaches and stunningly colored ocean. Our beach villa on Deru Island exceeded all expectations, it had everything you need for all occasions, even life jackets, very useful for those who can't swim, but want to snorkel near the villa) Our assistant Iru is a wonderful person, he helped organize our leisure time and was always in touch if we needed anything. Thanks to all the staff of Javakar for the warm welcome, we will definitely come back to you and will recommend you to our friends!
