9.3⭐31 отзыв
  • Brand new facilities (opened late 2023) feel fresh and modern
  • Only 40 minutes by speedboat from Malé (no seaplane hassle)
  • Il Basilico pizzeria serves genuinely excellent wood-fired pizza

Краткий обзор: It's a fun, family-friendly playground with a 'techno' pulse, not a silent castaway island.

Подтверждено @jonaways: I can't get over how blue the water is at Joy Island. The speedboat ride was super quick, and my beach villa pool was the perfect spot to disconnect. It feels like you're the main character in a movie. Truly a bucket-list stay for anyone who loves aesthetics.

The hype

Guests love the fresh, modern rooms and the friendly staff (especially the 'island hosts'), but the vibe is more 'lively resort' than 'deserted island'.

Reality check

The 'All Inclusive' has limits—premium alcohol and certain snacks cost extra, and the buffet can get repetitive.

  • You hate long seaplane transfers and want to be in the water 1 hour after landing
  • You are traveling with kids/teens who need a pool, tennis, and activities
  • You appreciate a modern, bright aesthetic over rustic thatched huts

Чистота и уход

9.5
  • Housekeeping: Impeccable. Twice-daily service is standard and thorough.

Перед бронированием

Полезно знать

  • Transfer is by speedboat ($180-$260/person), which runs 24/7—great for late night flights.
  • The island is butterfly-shaped; the 'tail' has the best sand.
  • Mosquito fogging is effective; guests rarely report bites.

Что взять с собой

  • Reef shoes (broken coral on the beach is common)
  • Your own snorkel gear (rental is free but quality varies)
  • Conditioner (island water can be drying)

FAQ и советы

Всё, что вы действительно хотели бы знать перед бронированием.

Is the transfer included?

No, it's an extra charge (approx. $180-$260 roundtrip) added to your bill.

Can I snorkel from the beach?

Yes, but the best snorkeling is on the house reef side (Sunrise side), which can be choppy.

Is alcohol included?

Yes, the standard All-Inclusive covers beer, house wine, and 'pouring' spirits (standard brands), but not premium labels.

Is it kid-friendly?

Very. There's a 'Kiddie Cove' club, kids' pool, and family villas.

How is the WiFi?

Decent for browsing, but can be spotty in the villas for heavy streaming.

Do I need cash?

No, everything is charged to the room. Bring small USD bills if you want to tip staff directly.

Советы инсайдеров

  • ✨

    Find the 'Silent Beach' zone near the spa/Umbrella Beach for a noise-free sanctuary.

  • ✨

    Book the 'Extreme All Inclusive' if you want the romantic beach dinner and BBQ included—it might be cheaper than paying à la carte.

  • ✨

    The Italian chef at Il Basilico makes the best food on the island; don't skip the pizza.

5 вещей, которые нужно знать перед поездкой

  • 💡The 'no drinks on the sunbed' rule is strictly enforced and annoying.

  • 💡The Sunrise side isn't just 'morning sun'—it's often too windy to swim comfortably.

  • 💡The 'Techno' music at the bar is a frequent complaint for older couples seeking romance.

  • 💡You might see construction barges on the horizon as the atoll develops.

  • 💡The 'Lagoon' villas are in shallow water; don't dive off your deck at low tide.
