General Info
W Retreat & Spa Maldives |
 |
Address: North Ari Atoll, Republic of Maldives, Male
The stylish W group of ultra-chic hotels welcomes you to its premier resort, located on the exclusive island of Fesdu, the W Retreat & Spa Maldives. W's contemporary approach focused on a lifestyle-oriented concept ensures that style flirts with soul in a retreat that is in perfect harmony with the island.
A gem encased in white sand, with palms draping over crystal waters and neatly raked coral paths winding in gardens bursting with tropical colours. Its turquoise lagoon faces the north-west reflecting the hues of the sun. The whiter than white sand, pearlised, waiting each morning for the kaleidoscope of shells and foam the sea brings in.
Then there's the world below the water. Fesdu is renowned for its underwater offerings. The dive sites are enhanced by farus and tillas which don't even reach the surface and are often as deep as 8m to the top of the reef.
