  • W Retreat & Spa, Maldives

    Better late than never - our trip to the W Maldives from Easter 2012. It was of course WOW in every single way. It was the most anticipated W visit and top of the bucket list to tick off, and indeed the pinnacle W experience of my life.

    Airport to W:

    Sea plane jetty


    W lounge at the airport


    These came in very handy on the plane






    And we're off - Male from seaplane


    Random little atolls

    And we're here


    Welcome entourage - LOL



    An entire week of pure bliss ahead - Paradise gets its tips from here


    Crystal clear waters - could see stingrays, sharks and schools of fish






    Our Ocean Oasis


    Awesome view to wake up to




    Very breezy decor, a tad Maldivian but not too much

      Overlooking the Indian Ocean - this is why I'd always go for an overwater villa




      Glass floor


      Easy access to lagoon - but mind the corals


      Veuve and cocktails by the pool - a daily ritual

        Sunset cocktails - we also got 2-for-1 drinks using the W app special






        He stood in the same spot nearly every single day - must be some good fish

          Bubbly brekky at Kitchen


          Wagyu burger from the room service menu is yum - goes so well with the NZ pinot noir from the in-room wine chiller


          Nearly tripped on one of these - they come very close to shore!






          Feeding time for the reef sharks too

            It's a hard life - also great way of getting rid of hangovers



            One of the many highlights of our visit - renting Gaathafushi Island for a moonlit dinner.

              Mellow start to the Cuban Night beach party


              Cocktail making school


              Our experiments - my ginger mojito came out tops!


              Leaving ain't as fun as arriving!

                Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

                How was the diving/snorkeling at the W?

                  We didn't dive as the OH thought it looked scary.

                  Snorkelling was awesome. Never got tired of looking at the underwater flora and fauna. Seeing a reef shark up close was unnerving even if it's meant to be harmless!!

                        The rooms look kind of spartan to me (for a W)...
