Resort island map — Nala Maldives by Jawakara
Our Take
Who This Resort is For
Ideal for
Couples and honeymooners — an 80-villa adults-only island with champagne bar, private sandbank picnics, and a spa built for romance
Wellness seekers — Ayurvedic spa with Himalayan salt room, twice-daily yoga, and complimentary treatments scaled to stay length
Divers — ProDivers PADI 5-Star centre with 50+ dive sites in Lhaviyani Atoll including Turtle Rock and channel dives
Guests wanting variety without crowds — Nala's intimacy plus access to Jawakara's golf, six restaurants, and water sports via 3-minute speedboat
Eco-conscious travellers — solar-powered villas, active coral restoration programme, and plastic reduction initiatives
Consider elsewhere if
Families with children under 12 — adults-only policy strictly enforced; Jawakara next door is the family-friendly option
Budget travellers — starting at $679/night with all-inclusive only, this is not a value play; Crown & Champa's Kuredu and Vilamendhoo offer more per dollar
Snorkeling purists — the newborn reef is developing and not yet comparable to established reefs like Vilamendhoo or Anantara Kihavah
Guests wanting maximum on-site dining variety — three restaurants plus a snack bar is modest; you will need the Jawakara shuttle for more options
