Jawakara Islands opened in 2023 as the first two-island resort in the Maldives: Mabin (Maabinhuraa), the larger, family-friendly island, and Dheru (Dheruhfinolhu), the quieter premium island, joined by a 700-metre bridge in Lhaviyani Atoll, 35 to 40 minutes from Malé by seaplane. Mabin has the country's biggest golf course with a driving range and simulator, one of the largest kids' clubs in the Maldives, and a big main pool; Dheru's guests stay all inclusive and have a villa host.
Most of the 290 villas are Beach Villas (78 m²), a few steps from the sand, and Beach Pool Villas (101 m²) with doors straight onto their own pool, on both islands. Over the water, the Water Pool Villas (107 m²) have a private pool, an open deck and steps down into the lagoon; on Dheru they're for adults only (18 and over). Families can take a Two Bedroom Villa (115 m²) on Mabin or a Three Bedroom Villa (192 to 193 m²) with its own pool and beach. Every villa has a sundeck, a Nespresso machine, a wine fridge and a soundbar.
There are three buffet restaurants, Aila, Saima and Vela, and three à la carte ones: Molo for Mediterranean food on Mabin, UMI for Asian-Pacific fusion out on the bridge, and the Hideout at the golf club. The Bonthi, Nika and Thila bars look over the lagoon, with the Fore Bar at the golf club. Mabin sells breakfast, half board, full board and all inclusive. There are two Sulha spas, a garden one and an ocean one, and a ProDivers PADI 5-Star dive centre.
