Like confetti floating in the middle of the Indian Ocean, Joy Island nestles in the heart of the North Malé Atoll. This small island surrounded by a lagoon, covered in powdery sand and tropical vegetation, is home to the Joy Island Resort Maldives by Cocoon. Comprising 151 contemporary villas set on the beach or above the water, it offers an idyllic setting for a holiday as a couple or as a family. The resort has three restaurants and a bar. Here the emphasis is on relaxation, with water sports activities, a swimming pool, a spa, and excursions. A perfect place to recharge your batteries.

Rooms

On the beach or above the lagoon, the villas are tranquil nests. Their warm, contemporary décor extends an invitation to relax. All are air-conditioned and have ceiling fans for added comfort.

Beach Villa

This 50 m² villa, just a stone's throw from the sand and waves, boasts elegant wooden floors. A large double bed, a sofa, and an outdoor bed invite you to relax. Refresh yourself in the outdoor shower. There are sun loungers on the sand, meaning you can continue to relax there.

Beach Suite with Pool

This suite on the beach is ideal for watching the sunset. Lie back on a sun lounger, on the outdoor bed, or in your private pool and watch the sky change colour. This 100 m² suite has a double bed, a minibar, and a superb bathroom.

Lagoon Villa

Built on stilts above the ocean, this 60 m² villa is ideal for greeting the sun in the morning. Its terrace with comfortable sun loungers grants direct access to the waves. Enjoy a cosy double bed and sofa in an understated interior. A minibar, Wi-Fi, and a television are available.

Restaurants & bars

A culinary adventure awaits guests on Joy Island. At The Market, they can enjoy a variety of cuisine, while at Il Basilico they can sample Italian specialities. The Palm Beach offers an idyllic setting.

All-inclusive

Includes breakfasts, lunches, dinners, local beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and a range of services offered by the establishment (see on-site conditions).

The Market

This restaurant features a variety of stands serving dishes with international influences. You can order a burger here, and a salad there. Fruit, pastries, and ice-creams are available to satisfy those with a sweet tooth.

Il Basilico

Enjoy wood-fired pizzas fresh from the oven in this cosy restaurant. Succumb to the temptation of a tiramisu, at any time of day. Il Basilico is open all day.

Palm Beach

For a romantic dinner or a memorable lunch, opt for the Palm Beach. Its tables are set on the sand, facing the turquoise waves. Enjoy grilled meats and paellas, or simply savour an apéritif.

Activities & lifestyle

The sea is the central point of focus for your stay in the Maldives. Water sports activities and excursions are sure to delight holidaymakers of all ages. The spa offers a relaxing retreat.

Start your day with a yoga session or try your hand at some aqua aerobics. Or perhaps play with your children in the waves. They'll love the activities organised for them at the kids' club. Take a trip in a transparent kayak or visit the underwater world with a mask and snorkel. Embark on a sunset cruise or a cruise to the neighbouring islands. On the sand, a host of sporting activities await. Try your hand at padel or practise your favourite fitness exercises with your eyes fixed on the ocean.

Discover the destination

destination

The Maldives archipelago is a true tropical paradise, blossoming in the heart of the Indian Ocean. It boasts fine sandy beaches fringed with coconut palms and warm, crystal-clear waters with breathtaking seabeds. The Maldives offer an opportunity to experience a whole new world. Consisting of atolls and islets scattered between the Lakshadweep Sea and the Arabian Sea, the Maldives are a peaceful haven where you can unwind and take in the beauty of nature. From the dynamic capital, Malé, to the deserted atolls, the Maldives offer an idyllic getaway.

Important information about your destination

Customs and traditions

The Maldivian people are renowned for their warmth and hospitality. However, as a Muslim nation, the Maldives upholds stringent customs and public conduct regulations. In the capital city of Malé and on local inhabited islands, it is essential to dress modestly, covering the shoulders and knees, and to refrain from wearing swimsuits in public areas.
Alcohol is strictly forbidden on local islands, including Malé, and its consumption or possession is illegal. However, private island hotels and resorts are permitted to serve alcohol to their guests. Visitors are advised to respect these rules to avoid any misunderstandings with the local authorities. When visiting a mosque, it is essential to remove shoes and wear covering clothing to enter.

Time difference

London, United Kingdom time is 4:00 hours behind Maldives

Electricity and internet access

Voltage in the Maldives is 230V, with D and G plugs ( similar to the UK), although not all establishments use this type of plug. We recommend that you bring a universal adapter for extra safety. Internet connections are often available in hotels and resorts, but may be less reliable on more remote islands. Wi-Fi may have to be paid for in some establishments.

Safety

The Maldives is considered a safe destination for tourists, especially in the island hotels which have their own security. Nevertheless, it is advisable to remain vigilant on the local islands and not to leave valuables unattended. When participating in water activities, follow the safety instructions of your guides and be aware of currents, which can be strong in certain areas.

Currency

The local currency is the Maldivian Rufiyaa (MVR), although the US dollar (USD) is widely accepted in hotels, restaurants and dive centres. Cash is recommended for tips and small expenses, although credit cards are accepted in most tourist establishments.

Weather

The Maldives enjoy a warm tropical climate throughout the year. The best time to visit is from November to April, during the dry season, with sunny weather and little rainfall. The rainy season, from May to October, is characterised by tropical showers and stronger winds, although the days remain warm and sunny.

Languages

The official language of the Maldives is Dhivehi. However, English is widely understood and spoken in hotels, restaurants and tourist areas.

Accommodation quality

The quality of accommodation varies from guesthouses on local islands to luxury hotels and villas on stilts in resorts. The standard of comfort and service in Maldivian hotels is generally high, although this may vary in accommodation on local islands.

Food quality

Maldivian cuisine is influenced by Indian, Sri Lankan and Arabic flavours, with heavy use of fish, coconut and spices. The resorts offer a varied international cuisine, while the options on the inhabited islands are more limited and local. Bottled water is recommended as tap water is not safe to drink.

Other information

The Maldives offers a unique experience of white sandy beaches, turquoise lagoons and exceptional marine biodiversity. Travellers are encouraged to respect the archipelago's fragile environment by avoiding the use of plastic and respecting coral reefs when diving or snorkelling.

Formalities

Please refer to the information below regarding travel formalities applicable to U.S. nationals travelling to the Republic of Maldives. Maldivian authorities require travellers to hold a regular passport in good condition, valid for at least six months from the date of entry into the Maldives, and containing at least one blank page for entry and exit stamps.

Nationals of the United States benefit from a visa exemption for tourist travel to the Maldives. A free tourist visa is issued on arrival by Maldivian immigration authorities and generally allows a stay of up to 30 days. This stay may be extended under certain conditions through local immigration services. No prior visa, eVisa or electronic travel authorisation is required before departure for tourist purposes. Official information regarding entry and stay conditions is available through Maldives Immigration at https://immigration.gov.mv (https://immigration.gov.mv) and via the Government of Maldives portal https://www.gov.mv.

Prior to arrival, all travellers are required to complete an online Traveller Declaration within the timeframe specified by Maldivian authorities. Upon arrival, immigration officials may require travellers to present proof of onward or return travel, confirmed accommodation bookings covering the entire stay, and evidence of sufficient financial means. Travellers must comply with immigration controls and be able to present their travel documents at any time upon request by local authorities.

No mandatory vaccinations are required for travellers arriving directly from the United States. However, travellers are advised to ensure that routine vaccinations are up to date.
