W Maldives | Maldives, Indian Ocean | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Maldives, Indian Ocean

5 stars

A luxurious retreat, the W triumphs yet again with spectacular accommodation in an idyllic location. There are various room options to choose from, each and every one of them truly special with private plunge pools a feature as well as sumptuous island views. Treat yourself to an over-water retreat, complete with glass panelled flooring to admire the ocean below you. Whichever you choose, you’re only a stone’s throw from the beach, which boasts not only glorious white sands but a whole range of water sports to get your teeth into. Swim with hammerhead sharks and manta rays on a diving expedition or explore the endless turquoise waters on a kayak or canoe. There’s also big game fishing if you fancy catching dinner! If you don’t, there are several restaurants to choose from, including Fish, the resort’s signature seafood restaurant and Fire for barbecue delights. Wet is part swim-up bar and part poolside lounge gone gourmet with wood-fired pizza, creative salads and Asian cuisine on the menu alongside exotic cocktails.

“Peaceful place”

Sep 17, 2025winbookclub i

Every time we go to the Maldives, we find peace, smiles, and good things, especially at W Hotel. The service is good, the accommodations are clean and safe, and the food is delicious, especially at the Fish restaurant. It makes us want to go back again next year. See you.

“I carrot leave W maldives”

Sep 04, 2025Kyzzzzz

From the moment we landed in Malé, we could tell this place was different. The airport arrival team is on another level—big smiles, real energy, genuine care. They even surprised us when we departed and, not exaggerating, we cried. It felt like leaving friends. Huge love to our secret angel, Bisha. She quietly made everything perfect—thoughtful anniversary surprises, and every night a handwritten card with her beautiful drawings that felt so personal and warm. When we weren’t feeling well, she sent fresh coconut to our villa without us asking. That kind of care stays with you. Housekeeping deserves its own shout-out: Nadeen is incredible. Our villa was spotless every single day and night, and his decorations were the best we’ve seen anywhere. The leaf calligraphy he created on the bed was jaw-dropping—one of a kind and truly memorable. You could feel the pride and artistry in his work. Food and drink were a highlight from start to finish—WET Deck, KITCHEN, FIRE, FISH—creative menus, beautifully executed, genuinely gourmet without the fuss. Claire was everywhere in the best way: fully dedicated to the experience in her restaurants and the food. She listened, adjusted, and just made things happen, always with a smile and a lot of “love”. We felt so looked after. And Mani at SIP kept the vibes (and drinks) perfect—thank you! We can’t even list all the names here, but honestly, everyone we interacted with deserves a trophy. The “Whatever/Whenever” promise is real at this resort. People take ownership and do it with joy. It’s luxury, but it’s warm and playful, never stiff. We left with full hearts and a bunch of memories we’ll be talking about for a long time. If you’re thinking about it—go.
