A time for reconnection and relaxation, make this Eid Al Fitr your most cherished yet with a family getaway at JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa. Feel a sense of upliftment from the moment you touch down on Vagaru Island, a postcard-perfect isle in the heart of the Indian Ocean, a 55-minute scenic seaplane ride from Male.

Let them run free in the Little Griffins Kids Club, with thoughtful experiences grounded in the pillars of Culinary, Creativity and Activeness. After a morning spent by the pool or in the spa, reunite with your junior explorers over inspiring family activities, such as pizza-making classes, non-motorised water sports, or family yoga on the beach.
