From the resort’s history. Joy Island only opened its doors in early fall 2023 and is part of The Cocoon Collection, an Italian hotel group run by the Azzola family. Their first trip to Asia in the 1970s inspired Enzo and Maria-Rosaria Azzola to open their own hotel in Sri Lanka and promote Italian hospitality in the Indian Ocean countries. The business of the parents was inherited by three sons – Atilio, Alessandro and Andrea. Today the company has 6 hotels in Maldives, Zanzibar and Sri Lanka.

Joy Island is located in the northern atoll of Male, just 40 minutes by boat from Velana International Airport. It offers 151 villas on the beach and in the lagoon.
