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.

Great welcome and a tour to get us acquainted to the resort.
Beautiful room with an uninterrupted view of the ocean and an infinity pool!!! Efficient room service, whenever requested, everything was delivered to our room promptly.
Sunset yoga on the beach was serene…. our eyes on the horizon watching the clouds & the sea….perfect👍
Sipping drinks at the SIP … a must place to hang out with the best bartender Mani Naidu, Chris making the best sushi😋
Snorkelling opened our eyes and souls to a different world…. the marine life is just so soothing and amazing… nature at its best.
Dhikko & Bishko Co ordinated everything perfectly for us.
We spent our time happy busy with the activities and yet plenty of time to relax !!!
Thank you team W for all care and making us feel pampered

Back to Paradise – W Maldives Feels Like Home!

We just got back from our second stay at W 🇲🇻
Our first visit was in 2021, and let’s just say… it was love at first WOW. 🤩
Coming back felt like the ultimate reunion, and somehow, it was even more magical than we remembered. 🥰😇

We just got back from our second stay at W 🇲🇻
Our first visit was in 2021, and let’s just say… it was love at first WOW. 🤩
Coming back felt like the ultimate reunion, and somehow, it was even more magical than we remembered. 🥰😇
The recent renovation? Total glow-up! The vibe is still that dreamy, laid-back luxury we fell in love with, but with a fresh, polished edge. Everywhere you look, it’s postcard-perfect crystal-clear waters, soft white sand, and those overwater villas 🤗🥹
What made it even more special was seeing some of our favorite familiar faces: Mark, Chunky, and Ishara.
They truly made us feel like VIPs coming home. It’s rare to find a place where the people make just as much of an impact as the paradise around you, but that’s the W magic. 😌
From lazy mornings on the deck to dancing under the stars with a cocktail in hand, every moment was pure joy. The food was incredible, the vibe unmatched, and the memories? Next level.🥰🙌🏻
Already counting down the days till the next time. Stay fabulous, W Maldives & see you next year! 🤩🙌🏻😘
