In a strategic move to enhance its foothold in India’s luxury travel segment, JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa has appointed BlackTurtle as its official sales and marketing representation company in India. This partnership aims to attract discerning Indian travellers seeking exclusive, high-end experiences in the Maldives, a perennial favourite among luxury vacationers.

Nestled in the untouched beauty of the Shaviyani Atoll, JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa epitomises luxury, offering guests an indulgent, stress-free retreat. With 60 expansive villas—each featuring a private pool and breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean—the resort seamlessly caters to couples, families, and groups of friends looking to craft unforgettable memories. Guests can choose between stylish beachfront or overwater accommodations, each enhanced by the bespoke services of a personal Thakuru (butler).

For Indian travellers with a penchant for gastronomy, the resort boasts five exceptional restaurants and three full-service bars, offering an eclectic mix of global flavours. Additionally, a carefully curated vegan menu ensures plant-based diners are equally catered to.

Wellness and adventure also take centre stage at JW Marriott Maldives. The stunning overwater Spa by JW offers six couple’s treatment rooms and a deluxe suite, providing tailored therapies designed for ultimate rejuvenation. Thrill-seekers and marine life enthusiasts can embark on snorkeling, diving, dolphin-watching, and fishing excursions through the resort’s dive centre, while young travellers can enjoy an enriching island experience at FAMiLY by JW – Little Griffins Kids’ Club, one of the largest in the Maldives. Featuring a 43-foot pirate ship and over 100 interactive activities, the club provides an immersive and educational adventure for children aged 5 to 12.

Highlighting the significance of this collaboration, Karishma Kazi, Founder of BlackTurtle, stated, “Our partnership with JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa underscores our commitment to delivering exceptional travel experiences. The resort’s dedication to luxury, personalised service, and cultural immersion aligns perfectly with our brand ethos. We look forward to crafting bespoke itineraries that will leave lasting impressions on Indian luxury travellers.”

With this alliance, JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa is set to amplify its outreach in the Indian market, reinforcing its reputation as a premier destination for those seeking opulent, tailor-made experiences in the heart of the Maldives.
