A Bold New Era at W Maldives

W Hotels, renowned for its avant-garde approach to hospitality, has unveiled an exciting new chapter with the dramatic reimagining of W Maldives. As part of Marriott Bonvoy's diverse portfolio, this luxurious destination merges modern design with the enchanting beauty of the Maldives, offering guests a unique experience that is both sophisticated and immersive.

Redefining Luxury

The transformation of W Maldives is not just a cosmetic renovation; it represents a bold step in redefining luxury. With redesigned rooms, suites, restaurants, and notable spaces, W Maldives now incorporates a fresh blend of daring design elements that reflect the vibrant spirit of the Maldives. George Fleck, Senior Vice President and Global Brand Leader for W Hotels, states, "We are not simply unveiling a renovated resort; we're redefining our approach to destination-driven luxury."

The revamped resort greets guests from the moment they arrive at the iconic Arrival Jetty. As they step off the seaplane, the stunning views of crystal-clear waters create an immediate sense of paradise. Designed by the respected Miaja Design Group, the 77 villas offer stylish hideaways that are intricately connected to the island’s natural allure. The enhanced overwater villas draw inspiration from the elegant forms of whale sharks, while beach villas connect with the textured beauty of local flora.

For families and larger groups, the introduction of the new Supreme Overwater Two-Bedroom Villas and Oasis Overwater Two-Bedroom Villas presents an expansive living space complete with private pools, ensuring memorable moments for every guest. Notably, the newly added two Oasis Two-Bedroom Beach Villas feature exhilarating water slides that lead down into their own significant pool, merging luxury with playful fun.

A Culinary Adventure Awaits

Dining at W Maldives is designed to be an experience rather than just a meal. Every venue, conceptualized by EDG Design, allows guests to embark on a culinary journey that showcases the rich gastronomic offerings of the region. At the fine dining restaurant, FISH, sustainable ocean-to-table principles guide the menu, allowing diners to savor natural flavors while overlooking the tranquil Indian Ocean.

The relaxed environment of FIRE, a smokehouse situated by the beach, complements grilled dishes with picturesque coastal views. Meanwhile, KITCHEN serves all-day breakfast along with international dishes to cater to diverse palates. Throughout the year, W Maldives is set to host exclusive pop-ups featuring world-renowned chefs, adding innovative twists to the dining experience.

Inviting Atmosphere and Nightlife

As the sun begins to dip below the horizon, the overwater bar SIP, inspired by Latin American flair, becomes a prime spot to enjoy signature cocktails and Nikkei dishes while reveling in breathtaking sunset views. The WET Deck brings together sun-soaked days and electrifying evenings, where lively beats and refreshing bites create a vibrant atmosphere. This area features state-of-the-art lighting and a stunning water slide named Splinterworks Vertex—a sculptural highlight that represents poolside fun uniquely.

Wellness and Sustainability at Its Heart

For those seeking wellness, AWAY Spa revitalizes traditional spa rituals with modern approaches, offering an experience that unites health and social interaction. Guests can indulge in curated treatments while soaking in overwater views from treatment rooms equipped with their own steam facilities.

W Maldives is committed to sustainability, incorporating eco-friendly designs and operating practices. The resort houses one of the largest biogas plants in the Maldives and features a productive garden, demonstrating a resolute commitment to self-sustainability by 2026.

An Immersive Experience Awaits

Within this redefined space, guests are invited to partake in unique experiences that blend adventure with relaxation. Options range from snorkeling in the award-winning house reef to exploring the cultural richness of the islands. Programs like 'Dare to Taste' elevate culinary exploration by showcasing local flavors reinvented through seasonal elements.

The new W Maldives is not just a visual delight but represents an evolution in how tourists experience luxury in one of the world's most stunning destinations. As Amila Handunwala, General Manager, notes, "Our goal is to provide guests a chance to immerse themselves in Maldives' traditions while enjoying the creative energy that W Hotels embodies."
