“Maldives stay - 7 nights May”

My wife and I stayed at this resort for our wedding anniversary. Having spent our honeymoon at the St Regis Bora Bora we had high hopes and expectations of the W @ Maldives. firstly, Maldives as a whole has a huge commercial drive which is frankly quite annoying as you are confronted with this from the get go. Being someone... More

Thank you for choosing W Maldives for your wedding anniversary. It is disappointing to read that we did not live up to your expectations on this so special occasion. As you realized, the transportation in the Maldives could be hectic sometimes as Maldives is such a unique destination with very particular transfer options available (ie seaplane or speedboat only).

Gasped on the seaplane when we are about to arrive in the resort from Male. The hotel looks fantastic, clear turquoise water surround the resort, and we were greeted and welcomed with more than 10 members of W insiders on the peer, which was making it very homy. We were then given tour around the island, which most of the... More
