Jumeirah Group Opening New Resort in the Maldives

Jumeirah Group has announced a new resort, Jumeirah Maldives, which will welcome its first guests from October 1, 2021. The all-villa luxury resort is on the North Malé Atoll, reachable by speedboat or seaplane from Malé Airport. 

The resort has 67 beach and over-water villas in one-, two- and three-bedroom configurations, all with views of the Indian Ocean. Good to know: Each villa—starting at 1,840 square feet—has a private infinity pool and large rooftop terrace with a dedicated dining area for guests to take in the views while dining, or relaxing with a movie-under-the-stars experience. The three-bedroom villas also have their own gym.

The two signature restaurants, Shimmers and Kayto, will offer Mediterranean and Nikkei flavors. Shimmers will serve Chef Roberto Rispoli’s menu alongside chilled vibes thanks to a resident DJ and regular live music performances. KAYTO, meanwhile, will have an open kitchen.

The Talise Spa has six overwater treatment rooms, and provides a range of therapeutic and re-energizing treatments for wellness and relaxation. Guests can also enjoy an array of activities from daily yoga classes to water sports, beach volleyball, billiards and tennis, or partake in other enriching experiences from underwater photography to planting coconut trees and making coconut oil. A highlight for any stay is the unique submarine tour exploring the vibrant marine habitat. According to Jumeirah, for the most memorable experience, guests should opt for a night voyage to experience the rarely seen underwater world after sunset.

For families, there will be a  waterpark and an indoor play area for kids, while an outdoor cinema will screen family-favorites beachside (as well as blockbusters more suitable for older audiences).
