Jawakara Islands Maldives is made up of two islands in Lhaviyani Atoll, Mabin and Dheru, linked by a walkway over the water. The resort sees itself as a destination for the whole family: there are villas on the beach and over the water, three-bedroom villas, a kids’ club and a separate teen club. Add to that two freshwater infinity pools, a golf course, courts for tennis, padel, badminton and football, and two spas. Jawakara suits families with children of all ages, but also couples looking for variety and several restaurants across two islands.
Jawa Kids Club is open daily from 9:00 to 19:00, with coconut hunts, cooking with the chefs, sandcastle building and junior golf. Teenagers meet at Jawa Teen Club for the Golf Academy, water polo or a boduberu drumming class. A paid babysitting service is available for children under four.
On Mabin, Aila and Saima serve buffets with live cooking, while Vela does so on Dheru. For à la carte dining, choose Mediterranean cuisine at Molo, Asian Pacific dishes at Umi in the middle of the walkway, or Hideout at the golf course, where burgers, sandwiches and salads are served.
On Mabin, Jawakara runs the Sea Turtle Health Institute together with the Olive Ridley Project, a clinic for injured sea turtles. On a 30-minute guided tour you can see how the animals are treated and prepared for their return to the ocean.
The 78 m² Beach Villas are just a few steps from the sand, and the 101 m² Beach Pool Villas have their own pool. Over the water stand the 107 m² Water Pool Villas with a private pool. All three types are available on both Mabin and Dheru. For families, Mabin offers 192 m² Three Bedroom Villas on the beach for up to four people. On Dheru, the 285 m² Three Bedroom Villas sleep up to six and sit on their own stretch of beach.
Jawakara spreads across two islands with different characters: Mabin, the larger one, with the golf course and three bars, and Dheru with 88 villas and its own buffet restaurant. You can cross the walkway whenever you like. An unusual feature is the Sea Turtle Health Institute, where injured turtles are cared for. The two spas take their inspiration from Ayurveda, combining massage, acupuncture and herbal medicine with organic products. Excursions lead to a sandbank, to a local island or to watch dolphins at sunset.
For families with school-age children: eight and nine-year-olds can breathe underwater for the first time on the PADI Bubblemaker programme with Prodivers, while older children and adults can try Discover Scuba Diving. Book the tour of the Sea Turtle Health Institute through the Jawakara app or your Island Host.
