Presented by Travel Trade Maldives, the nation’s leading travel trade platform, this accolade highlights the resort’s continued commitment to delivering exceptional and innovative dining experiences.
The TTM Awards & Gala is one of the most anticipated events in the Maldivian hospitality calendar, celebrating excellence across the tourism sector. Receiving the award for two consecutive years underscores the dedication, creativity, and passion of the culinary team at JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa.
The resort’s culinary philosophy is deeply rooted in quality and guest well-being, guided by one of the brand’s core pillars: Nourish the Soul.

General Manager of JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa expressed gratitude for the recognition, noting that the award reflects the team’s commitment to culinary excellence and the Nourish the Soul philosophy. According to the General Manager, dining is viewed as an integral part of the travel experience, with the team striving to create moments that are not only flavorful but also restorative for guests.
The resort’s dining offerings span a diverse range of international cuisines and innovative concepts. Central to this is the JW Garden to Table experience, which highlights produce from the resort’s own JW Garden. Guests enjoy fresh, locally sourced, and sustainable ingredients, with many dishes prepared from a zero-kilometer radius. This emphasis on homegrown produce plays a key role in creating wellness-focused dishes that showcase the natural flavors of the Maldives.
Guests are invited to embark on a global culinary journey, whether dining among the treetops at the Thai restaurant Kaashi, savoring Japanese specialties at the overwater restaurant Hashi, enjoying premium meats and seafood at Shio, or indulging in authentic Italian flavors at Fiamma.
