Joy Island Maldives by Cocoon Collection

We had an unforgettable stay at the resort! The excellent room service, especially thanks to Ahu, made our experience exceptional. The food was delicious, with the tiramisu being the best we've ever had and the chocolate night an excellent touch. The handmade ravioli was exquisite, and the prosecco sent to our room was the perfect finishing touch. All these wonderful details made our stay truly memorable. We can't wait to return!

We spent 9 days at joy island and we had the best time ever. The most important thing first: the personal is soooo friendly, competent, always smiles at you, does everything you wish for and just kind. They are what makes the stay that beautiful. We had the fortune to get served by the two most wonderful waiters Ausaht and Hasan. After one day they knew what we'd order and always asked us about our day or just chatted with us really lovely. These two made us smile every time we stepped into the market and were undoubtedly one of the best parts of our holiday:) The shuttle took us directly from the airport to the hotel and provided us with everything we needed. Arrived at the hotel our island host Wifag welcomed us and explained evervthina. During our whole stay he was there for us and would answer all our questions. We stayed at the Lagoon Villa and it was AMAZING. The bathroom is stunning and really big. We loved that you could directly access the shower from the terrace. The direct access to the water and the snorkelling reef was perfect. And at night you can observe mantas from the terrace. The beds are comfortable and we never had problems with the room service. The resort provides you with everything you need towels for the beach, fins, snorkels, stand up paddles, tennis rackets, volleyball and a lot more. The activities organised from the hotel are very nice. If you like snorkelling book a trip to turtle point (we did that and to say it was amazing is an understatement). The pool area is really nice and is directly connected to the bar what allows you to enjoy your drinks directly by the pool. The palm beach is also really nice. The atmosphere on the island was very friendly and it was never crowded anywhere even if the hotel was fully booked. Last but not least the food. It's really good! From pasta to curry to fish to meat to freshly cut fruit and a massive dessert buffet there's something for everyone. The quality of the food is really high and the chefs and all the personal at the market is soooo nice. There is always something different at the buffet and they do a evening with typical maledivian and sri lankan food. We also enjoyed the gelato at lunch and the fresh juices and waffles at breakfast. The only sad thing was that the padel court was broken but the other activities made up for it. Overall it was a memorable holiday and we enjoyed every part of it. We already the crystal clear water and Ausath the best waiter in the whole maledives 🫶🏻

From the amazing welcome we received when getting off the water taxi to the lovely farewell, we were made to feel truly welcome at Joy Island. You're greeted by your host for the stay, who gives you a tour, shows you how to contact him (all done via WhatsApp) and gives you lots of information. There was no check-in, no passports to deal with and once we had our tour, our bags were waiting at our room. All very smooth. The weather started sunny then overcast to full-on thunderstorms. Being October, we knew it was the end of the storm season, so it wasn't a shock. We would have liked a bit more sun but it was still on average 30 degrees all day every day so can't complain. We stayed in one of the lagoon villas, with a picture postcard view of the Indian Ocean stretching for miles. Our villa was east-facing and initially, I felt like we were going to miss out on the sunsets, however as it was October, these east-facing villas turned out to be more favourable. As the thunderstorms took over the latter part of our stay, the winds really picked up from the west, meaning we were shielded on our balcony and could sit outside watching the clouds swirl and the lightening in the distance, which added to the romance of the island (something I would have imagined not been possible in the west-facing villas). Also, west of the island is a new island being built, so views in the west-facing villas aren't as uninterrupted as the east-facing ones. The room was the perfect size, with everything you needed. Big comfy bed, a massive shower room, and plenty of storage. Soft drinks are included in the mini-bar but you can indulge in several bottles of wine at a price on a quieter night. I also ordered a bottle of champagne to be waiting for us on the balcony one night, which was a nice surprise for my partner. The villa has steps down to the sea, which adds another nice touch. You can rent snorkels for free from the watersports place, for the whole of your stay. I swam from the villa to the beach and had fish swimming around me. One suggestion is to wear shoes. I went in without any and must have stood on coral as my sole was bruised for the remainder of the trip. At night, all sorts of fish come up to the villa, including rays and reef sharks, which was mesmerising. The island is man-made, and from what we learned it only took 12 months to build, and opened 12 months ago, and you can tell. Everything felt clean and well looked after. Teams of people were at hand to keep the resort looking nice and all greeted you with a smile and a hello. The food is sensational. We've been to many all-inclusives and this tops them all. Designed to be like a food market, the restaurant has different areas for the different food types. From the fish counter, the ice cream trolley, or the "Room of Sin" (deserts). It was nicely laid out, with plenty of space which made walking around to see what was on the menu each day a fun experience (there's even a mini campervan in the

This holiday was unforgettable! From breathtaking sunrises on the beach to exhilarating adventures exploring local culture, every moment was a treasure. We laughed, relaxed, and made memories that will last a lifetime. Whether it was the delicious food, stunning landscapes, or the incredible people we met, every detail added to the magic. Here’s to the best holiday ever—can’t wait for the next adventure!

Amazing time, great beaches, snorkeling, food! Francesca was very helpful! They even upgraded us to two bedroom villa on last day! We did a turtle excursion and saw many turtles with some amazing fish as well. Had the best time would go back without any reservation.
