DESCRIPTION
The stylish group of ultra-chic hotels W's new Premier resort is set on the exclusive and very exotic island of Fesdu. With its contemporary and cutting edge approach focused on a lifestyle-oriented concept, this resort is in perfect harmony with the island. Traditional Maldivian exteriors conceal contemporary interiors with sweeping arcs of gleaming white sand and calm turquoise waters. Whatever you want, Whenever you want it is the philosophy of W hotels throughout the world; and in conjunction with the famously charming service of the Maldives, this is a winning combination. Seventy eight individual Retreats are available in four categories: forty six (146 sqm) spacious, over-water Ocean Oasis; twenty eight (188 sqm) land based, spectacular Beach Oasis; three 2 -bedroom (328 sqm) Seascape Escapes and one 2 - bedroom (491sqm) Ocean Haven.
Beach Oasis - W Retreat & Spa : 188 sq m of absolute beachfront luxury. Only steps from the beach the outdoor and indoor mingle in designer simplicity. You could stay indoors forever, with the 42'' Plasma TV, BOSE Sound system, W signature bed, wine fridge, minibar and munchie box! But the private plunge pool beckons (13.2 SQM). And there's more on the first floor - a double daybed, fridge, and a BBQ deck from which to enjoy the breeze from the Indian Ocean.
Ocean Oasis - W Retreat & Spa : An over-water retreat perched above a spectacular lagoon and house reef. Spy on the islandÊs marine life from the privacy of your infinity plunge pool (13.2 SQM). Or from the sundeck. Or from the scenic bathroom with glass-paneled floors revealing lagoon fauna below. Or from the rainforest shower. The Ocean Oasis indulges the senses with ingenious quirks of design. 42Ê Plasma TV, BOSE® hi-fi. Chill out on the daybed and enjoy a BBQ with a glass of your favorite wine cooled to perfection in your private wine fridge. Pure decadence.
Seascape Escape - W Retreat & Spa : This 323sqm villa comes with a serious wow-factor. You can entertain in the indoor /outdoor lounge area, complete with BBQ and BOSER Hi-Fi systems or just wallow in your very own private, oversized infinity plunge pool (24.00 SQM) to the sounds of serenity. A sundeck with ocean views invites you to lie and ponder over the meaning of life as you sip champagne from your private collection in the wine fridge. Perhaps the separate chic refreshment center in the retreat calls, or a favorite movie on your 50E Plasma TV. Decisions, decisions.
Ocean Haven - W Retreat & Spa : Conceived as the ultimate getaway and total lifestyle chill-out escape, this 492 sqm two bedroom retreat is what dreams are made of. You set the pace of this experience, inviting your coolest friends to join you at sunset in the over-water infinity pool. Candles set the mood and the fragrance of essences waft as you sit in the Jacuzzi while sushi is served. Cocktails are waiting on your bar in the indoor lounge, but you decide to listen to the Indian Ocean softly lapping the edge of the Laguna for a bit longer. Steaks are sizzling on the BBQ grill so you leave the pool (78 SQM) to uncork a bottle of that special vintage stored in your wine fridge. Your guests turn the beat up on the BOSE® Hi-fi and you celebrate loving life to the extreme.
W Retreat & Spa – Maldives and Maldivian Air Taxis will take you on a 25 minute scenic ride over lowlying atolls where you could almost reach down and collect Maldivian pearls scattered in the two toned aquamarine sea below.
