Dear ravindrajaipur, Thank you for your interest in Jumeirah Vittaveli! Jumeirah was officially opened on 14 December, 2011, so we just celebrated our 7 year anniversary a month ago. Since the opening, we created a host of new facilities at the resort, such as the award winning Indian restaurant Swarna which opened in 2015, the lavish 5-bedroom Royal Residence that was opened in March 2017, the ice rink that was inaugurated by Olympic gold medal winner Evgeny Plushenko in March 2018, and now, we just opened our Private Ocean Retreats with the longest water slides in Maldives! At the same time, all of our overwater villas are being converted into the new and indulgent Infinity Pool Ocean Villas, including extended decks, glass floored dining, overwater hammocks and more. Please let us know if you have any further questions on Jumeirah Vittaveli - we’d be more than happy to assist! With warm regards, Concierge, Jumeirah Vittaveli

Dear mbaser, While it is always difficult to predict the weather in Maldives, as it can change very quickly but is generally sunny and always tropically warm, we would say that in January, the sunset side of the island will mostly benefit from calmer waters. In the Maldives, the weather is divided into two seasons, defined by the wind direction that changes from North-East during the months of December-March, to South-West, during the months of May to October. The Maldives also has its own intricate weather prediction system, called the Nakaiy. This is a weather calendar based on ancient knowledge of the country’s seafaring population who were guided by the stars before there was any modern GPS equipment on board. According to the Nakaiy calendar, the second half of January sees calm seas and moderate winds that blow from the North-East. Please let us know if you have any further questions on Jumeirah Vittaveli - we’d be more than happy to assist! With warm regards, Concierge, Jumeirah Vittaveli

Dear Fan W, Thank you for your interest in our new villas with water slides! We are delighted to let you know that some of our Private Ocean Retreats with slides are already open, with the remainder following before mid-February. Once all seven Private Ocean Retreats with slides are open, the Infinity Pool Ocean Villas with slides will follow straight thereafter! Thus, for your planned Maldives holidays at the end of January, we would have Private Ocean Retreats with slides, however, at the moment, they are sold out for the week before January 31. We have availability again starting February 1. Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance. We hope to welcome you to our island resort soon! With warm regards, Concierge, Jumeirah Vittaveli
