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!

Best experience ever! Relax, luxury, and fun! The attention of Neen was an awesome host who brought us the best assist. We were a group of friends from Puerto Rico. We had a spectacular time! Thanks for everything!!!!!! Hope we'll visit this beautiful island again!

What makes this beautiful Island so unique is its really lovely and helpful staff. Special thanks to (but not only…) Mr. Faalih, Shiyadt, Mush from the Rainbow bar, Anil… The villas are new, nice and neat, we stayed at the sunrise side, which has absolutely stunning and quiet beach. Food in the main restaurant called The Market was delicious and with a lot of choice for our tasting buds. We also loved the signature cocktails here😊

My friends and I just had the absolute best time in Joy Island with our host Neen (Nyn). She and her team were incredibly attentive and ensured that all of our needs were met as quickly as humanly possible. My only regret is that we couldn’t stay any longer. We were treated like kings and queens from the welcoming to the departure. This wonderful experience was not limited to activities but even the food was incredible. Even the pickiest eater in our group was able to find a variety of foods to try. This place is truly the epitome of paradise.!

It was a great experience. All of the workers were professional and nice. They were helpful and respectful, especially Mr. Ashraf. The food was delicious and there was a good variety. The villa was clean and comfortable. The view from the villa was so nice. I highly recommend this resort. Rami & Sara

My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights and I think it was a fantastic introduction to the Maldives. The marine life, the clear waters, the joyful people, it was simply a dream. # Activities The activity department was our favorite department. We attended the snorkeling excursion (Into the Blue) twice, and also went on the Dolphin Sunset Cruise twice. Zimaam and Nihan and Ainni were incredibly knowledgeable in marine animals, coral health, and overall ocean ecosystem. They are patient in answering our questions, and also used their expertise to help find animals such as dolphins and puffer fish. They care they put into ensuring the corals are not accidentally damaged by participants is admirable and worthy of all respect. We feel incredibly lucky to be able to form friendships with them and certainly hope to see them again. There is a Watersports Missions department that can do water activities such as jet-ski, but they also do excursions out to see nurse sharks as well as turtles. We were guided by Faris, and we were also absolutely enchanted with his passion for and knowledge of marine life. With his guide, we chanced upon turtles and an eagle ray! I wish for everyone to get to know as much sea animals and can wholeheartedly recommend Faris to help others achieve this. # Food and Drinks The buffet is absolutely incredible. I have to give a special shout out to the pasta station. They use one of my favorite pasta brands, De Cecco, and cook it to perfection each time. Everyday, you get a new rotation of 3 flavors that are just insanely creative. You have traditional sauces such as pesto, bolognese, and authentic carbonara. Then there are more unique flavors such as pumpkin ricotta, lamb ragu, and broccoli cream. Each time, the sauces are well-seasoned, emulsified, and robust in flavor; the ingredients really become unified and you taste one cohesive yet layered flavor. I have to stop myself from complimenting more about this station. Absolutely incredible work that they do. The breakfast egg's benedicts station is also so delicious, absolutely toasty English muffin with well emulsified tangy hollandaise sauce and perfectly poached egg. It is so hard for me to condense everything but truly I say, the fish carpaccios, the beef steaks, the pork ribs were so delicate yet flavorful. Even the Indian/Sri Lankan stations had daily rotation of the best indian staples. There was idiyappam, dosa, paratha, with outstanding fish curry with tuna. Even as I type this I still do not feel I am doing them enough justice. The was a wide range of cocktails served as well as a very delicious extra dry prosecco. I can recommend the Joy Passion cocktail which is a very friendly and fruitty passionfruit based cocktail, as well as the Basil Smash which introduces the fragrant herb into a gin and lemon concoction, simply delightful. I cannot remember everyone's name please forgive me but we were very happy to be served by Mush, Leeman, Latheef, Sheik, an

We had an amazing experience at Joy Island Resort! The facilities are top-notch, the staff is incredibly helpful and friendly, and everything from the food to the cleanliness was perfect. A special thanks to Marey, our buddy, who warmly welcomed us and was available 24/7 to assist and organize everything for us. Without a doubt, an experience worth repeating!

This was my first trip to Maldives but sure not the last. The moment you step on the island you are greeted by friendly staff members. Everyone on the island is very friendly. They make you feel welcome. The room was perfect (water villa). It was cleaned twice a day by Seym wou did a realy good job. Minibar was filed daily by Madhavan who made sure I wasn't thirsty. From the villa you have direct access to the beautiful warm sea full of life. I highly recomend choosing the water villa. The food was excelent, the sweets were amazing. I couldn't get enough. Girls that greet you at arival to the Market are very nice, especially Widya and Dita make you feel welcome. It was really plesant to chat with them. Anyone who chooses Joy Island won't be disapointed. Thank you for wonderful time. Anže

We stayed at the wonderful Joy Island for 12 nights in a sunset watervilla room 409 the last week of April and had a fabulous time. The second we were welcomed onto the island we were taken such good care of by our guest facilitator Faiq. The watervilla was beautiful with comfy bed and pillows, fab shower and very well appointed with amenities. We always ate in the aircon restaurant where Naahil, Sanjay and Widya welcomed us with warm smiles and made sure our glasses were never empty. Naahil was fabulous with his rice table art and did an amazing octopus for me on our last night. So clever. The food was always delicious and varied , lovely healthy salads, freshly grilled fish and meats , and juicy fresh fruits, pasta , Asian and other choices to enjoy. I was taken really good care of by Bhavani in the Room of Sin ensuring I only ate a gluten free desserts which were all delicious and all beautifully displayed. The chefs and kitchen staff must work so hard and do such a great job. Raja and Kessi always looked after us in the Palm beach bar for our late morning coffees and late afternoon cocktails. One night each week was cinema night. Sitting on a sun lounger drinking cocktails, eating popcorn and watching a movie, listening to the sound of the waves, the warm breeze and the inky black sky filled with stars is the most wonderful treat. We planted two trees on the island and this was arranged by Sirfaan on reception . He always greeted us with a warm smile and helped us in any way he could. We also planted two coral cages with the aid of Ainni, the marine biologist. She was so passionate and informative about what she did and it felt good to be giving something back to the island and hopefully helping the environment . My husband went on 6 dives and one of them was a shark dive in the harbour off Male. It was amazing. So many sharks and rays. Definitely a dive of a lifetime. Thank you to everyone we have mentioned and also to those I haven’t for making our holiday so special. We would return in a heart beat and would highly recommend to others.
