Options for luxury travellers have just increased even more in the Maldives, with JW Marriott opening the doors to its second property in the famed archipelago.

JW Marriott Kaafu Atoll Island

The new resort has striking design features such as Athiri restaurant

After a 10-hour international flight, it’s a godsend when the final stretch to reach your destination is short and seamless. Thankfully, that was the case when I arrived feeling a tad weary at Male’s Velana International airport, collected my luggage and breezed through a refreshingly fast passport control process. Walking through the exit doors to the airport, I practically stumbled on to the docks and the sleek speedboat waiting to whisk me away to the new JW Marriott Kaafu Atoll Island Resort.
