JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa solidifies its standing as a leading destination for multigenerational travel with the opening of its much-awaited Teen Lounge. Nestled along a pristine beachfront, the dedicated space warmly welcomes travelers aged 12 and above. Open from 11am to 10pm, Teen Lounge invites teenagers and young adults to craft their Maldivian holiday experience as they like, offering an opportunity to connect with peers while enjoying some personal time away from family.

With a delightful range of activities, the relaxed ambience of the Teen Lounge promises endless enjoyment throughout the day. From refreshing dips in the private plunge pool to engaging games of pool or foosball, from unwinding with board games to immersing in captivating PlayStation adventures, teenagers can also bask in relaxation on sun loungers or in cozy lounge areas, thoughtfully tucked away from parental supervision or younger siblings.

In addition to the Teen Lounge, teenagers can also indulge in exhilarating island-wide adventures, including guided snorkeling tours, paddleboarding, jetskiing, parasailing and kiteboarding sessions over the azure waters of the Indian Ocean. Additionally, they can enjoy energizing workout sessions in the 24/7 overwater gym, or engage in friendly volleyball or soccer matches on the multipurpose courts at the heart of the island.

Amidst the growing trend of multigenerational travel worldwide, JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa stands as an idyllic sanctuary for families of all ages and sizes. Spread over two stories and measuring 285 square meters, the Duplex Beach Pool Villas are tailor-made for group getaways.

Outside, an oasis awaits, complete with a swimming pool, a cabana with comfortable seating, a shaded timber deck, and a pathway leading down to the beach.
