Overview
The W Maldives is a luxury private island playground, fringed by turquoise lagoons and breathtaking coral reefs. This island resort is known for its untouched natural beauty, whatever/whenever service philosophy, and luxurious beach and overwater villas. Savour unpretentious, shareable and ‘ocean-to-table’ cuisine in the moreish restaurants and toast the sunset in the bars. Spoil yourself with a spa treatment or simply soak up the wow-worthy ocean views from the infinity pool. Countless activities are on offer, too, including water sports, sunset yoga classes and snorkelling trips.
The resort is tucked away on the tropical heart-shaped Fesdu Island, in the middle of the Maldives’ North Ari Atoll. This area of the Indian Ocean is renowned for its incredible dive sites, which attracts manta rays, whale sharks, sea turtles and thousands of colourful fish. The resort also houses one of the best house reefs, which is ideal for swimming and snorkelling. Male International Airport is westwards, around a 25-minute seaplane journey away.
The spacious beach and overwater villas are decorated in an eclectic, rustic style with thatched roofs, tiled floors and marine-themed accents. They each boast a private sundeck with a plunge pool and direct access to the beach or lagoon. The Fabulous Overwater villas are spacious and open onto a fabulous overwater deck with a plunge pool and a ladder that leads into the ocean. You can upgrade to Wonderful Beach Oasis accommodation, which comprises a large bedroom and living area, a partially open-air bathroom and a dual-level deck with lower and upper-level spaces, located on the beachfront.

Dining information
W Maldives features four inviting restaurants and two bars. KITCHEN is the main restaurant, which offers an international menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast is available in the form of a semi-buffet, with some made-to-order options, while lunch and dinner are served a la carte, with a selection of daily specials.
During the day, you can head to the poolside WET bar for light meals, sweet treats and refreshing drinks. By night, it becomes a lively venue with buzzing entertainment. Alternatively, SIP is the resort’s go-to hang out serving curated tequila and crafted gin infused with Maldives-inspired botanicals. In the evening, this is the perfect spot for sundowners and DJ music.
Feast on fresh seafood at FISH (open for dinner) or FIRE features a special barbeque menu – whether your meat or seafood is cooked on charcoal, an open-rotisserie or in a tandoor oven.
