Joy Island’s main restaurant, The Market, aims to excite guests in a showcase of world flavours with its daily street food themes, while the most loved Italian dishes will be served in il Basilico. Guests can enjoy cocktails at the colourful ambience of Rainbow, while Chiringuito restaurant on the tip of the island serves tasty tapas and paella.

“An island of happiness, a name could never be more fitting for a joyful place. The contemporary design reflects the colors of nature harmonised with authentic Maldivian influences. Joy represents the pleasures to be enjoyed here, be it a romantic getaway, active family vacation or diving group seeking underwater adventure,” the resort said.
