Overview

A new, bright all-inclusive island shaped like a butterfly, with 151 beach and overwater villas and Italian flair from The Cocoon Collection.

Joy Island opened in September 2023 in North Malé Atoll, 40 to 45 minutes by speedboat or 10 minutes by seaplane from the airport. It's a lively, all-inclusive resort from the Cocoon Collection, on an island shaped like a butterfly with a wide white beach.

There are 91 beach villas and 60 overwater villas: beach villas on the sunrise side with open-air bathrooms, family villas with a connecting door, sunset-side beach suites with or without a pool, lagoon villas and suites over the water, and two-bedroom beach and lagoon residences with private pools.

Everything is included. The Market serves buffets with live stations, Palm Beach grills seafood at the island's tip, Japanese Corner does teppanyaki, Il Basilico bakes wood-fired pizzas, and Rainbow Bar sits beside the pool. The house reef is off the sunrise side, near the beach and lagoon villas.

Good to know

It's a big, sociable resort rather than a quiet hideaway, and the entry villas are compact at 50 m². The island runs an hour ahead of Malé time.
