Each of the 78 spectacular Villas or ‘Retreats’ (28 on the beachfront and 50 built over the ocean) incorporates its own distinctive fusion of Maldivian island village design and layout with custom-made furnishings. Ubiquitous are those reassuring touches of style and service that are essential features of the ‘W’ Hotels hallmark. All Beach Oasis and Ocean Oasis – the latter including three (two-bedroom) Seascape Escape and one Ocean Haven – have indoor/outdoor bathrooms with stand-alone bathtub and outdoor shower, 42-inch plasma-screen television, plunge pool with sumptuous day-beds, mini-bar, DVD-player, surround-sound system – and your own Man Friday for that W Hotels ‘Whatever, Whenever’ service!
Experience romantic dining – W-style:
Simplicity is key at KITCHEN, where soul-satisfying food is presented with a non-traditional twist. This open-style kitchen with live cooking stations lets you keep an eye on the action. Where can you dine under the stars? Head to FIRE, where gourmet delights are served in rustic and natural surroundings with the moon overhead and sand beneath your feet. What’s the catch of the day? FISH, the signature seafood restaurant serves fresh-caught fish from nearby reefs as well as the finest and freshest imports from around the world. Explore the extensive selection of wine and Champagne by the glass or bottle, or indulge in creative and refreshing cocktails. Lounge and nibble on sushi and sashimi, or head to the over-water tables for two for endless views.

Unwind at the innovative Away® Spa:
Who wants to get Away? Indulge in ultimate relaxation at the over-water Away® Spa. Sixty six square metres of indoor and outdoor treatment areas allow for total privacy and complete renewal. Dedicate some time to your well-being and comfort with a natural healing therapy performed in one of four luxurious treatment villas.
