Joy Island is a 5-star island in North Malé Atoll. About 60 minutes from Velana International Airport. We confirm the exact transfer — speedboat, domestic flight or seaplane — in writing with your booking.

The atoll the Maldives resort industry started in, and still the one with the most islands within an easy boat ride of the airport.

  • Beach Suite with Pool
  • Lagoon Suite with Private Pool
