We really recommend the W Hotel Maldives! The Hotel offers five different kind of restaurants, so everyone will find a perfect place for dinner. The hotel has an amazing snorkeling area where you can see all different kind of fish, reef sharks and turtles. The beach villas as well the ocean villas are nicely furnished and comfortable. Finally, we would like to thank the outstanding service, which makes a stay unforgettable. We felt comfortable from the arrival until the departure. Even on the first day we were greeted by name in the restaurants and our wishes were remembered. Marquee is the right person to work out with, where it is fun to push yourself to the limit. Also the housekeeping staff (Layaan) was exceptional and surprised us from day to day with little surprises.

Our stay at W Maldives was truly exceptional. The house reef provided an incredible snorkeling experience (turtles, sharks, and rays) amidst flourishing coral. For divers, the well-equipped dive center and nearby world-class dive sites ensured memorable experiences. Our overwater villa, while perfect for sunset photos, had some noise issues due to proximity to the pool bar ( DJ on site) , prompting a move to a quieter villa. Despite some signs of aging (scheduled 2024 renovation), the resort is beautifully designed and well-equipped. Dining options were delightfully diverse, especially the remarkable breakfast buffet. Securing reservations in the restaurants in advance is advisable. The staff's attentiveness, with special mentions to Hassan, Ibrahim, Audi, and Ben, undoubtedly elevated our stay. The spa, set against exceptional surroundings, offered world-class treatments. Overall, WMaldives impresses with its unique charm, attentive service, and diverse amenities. We would undoubtedly consider booking again for its distinctive character and outstanding hospitality, marking a potential third visit for us!…

Celebrating our 25th anniversary and my birthday at W Maldives was an unforgettable experience. From the outset, the hospitality exceeded expectations, with every staff member providing excellent service. Our room was extraordinary, and as pure vegetarians, we were delighted by the chef's kindness and the delectable vegetarian options. The culinary experience was outstanding, and we enjoyed high-quality fruits throughout our stay. The pristine waters of the ocean offered a breathtaking view from our room, complemented by superb weather. The resort's attention to detail made it our best holiday yet. The seamless blend of luxurious accommodation, delectable vegetarian cuisine, and impeccable service created a truly memorable celebration.

We travel a lot and the hubs has been to several places in the world. W Maldives has knocked it out of the park! From accommodations, to the talent, and delicious dining options- we have loved our time here. Hassan & Hameedh are wonderful talents and made each day so great. Hassan’s service in dining and overall friendliness was so appreciated! Hameedh worked wonders in our room with gorgeous artwork and celebratory birthday wishes! He kept our space so fresh and lovely. Kudos also to the pastry chef and their team for creating the best birthday cake surprise- carrot with cream cheese icing and a rousing rendition of "Happy Birthday" during our dinner at Fire. I cannot wait to come back and experience more of the hospitality and joy that is found here (to say nothing of the gorgeous snorkeling and surroundings). Well done W Maldives! You're artistry will make it hard to ever match this get away.…

This trip was our honeymoon. I’ve wanted to visit the Maldives forever and I cannot say enough about how truly stunning it is there. The staff at the W, especially Hassan, Adam, Ali, and Areen kept us full and hydrated ;). They were so friendly and seemed to genuinely happy to chat with us when we were at the various restaurants. Mark was awesome and lead great fitness classes even if we wanted to pass out in the heat. The snorkeling was absolutely incredible. The bats were huge, but not a bother. We were a little disappointed that the sunset cruise on the private island was cancelled the day there was the most beautiful pink sky, but we ended up having a fabulous time at Kitchen with Adam and Hassan. Hameed kept our room great and added lots of romantic touches. We definitely can’t wait to return!…

Dear reader, if you are reading this then this is your sign to go to W Maldives lol. This was our 4th time going to the W Maldives. Please save your money and don’t go to other resorts. We have been to other resorts but we swore that from now on we will only go to the W Maldives. Because they are the best. And the reef and beaches are the best without a doubt. The previous 3 times we visited W as a couple but this trip we went with our 5 months old baby. We stayed in the Spectactular Lagoon Oasis for the first part of our stay and in the WOW Ocean Escape for the second part of our stay. The staff is truely amazing. Top notch. Very very kind hearted and genuine people. At this point they feel like our family away from family. Aisha and the staff at the W Lounge at Male airport made us feel sooo special and welcomed from the very start. Thank you guys so much. Anna who works in the gift shop, the sweetest and kindest heart you will ever meet. Even tho she works in the gift shop she would come out every morning to meet us and see how we are doing and ask if she could help us with anything. Manager Ahmed Zahir aka “Coacha”, made sure our stay was perfect like always. He always goes out of his way to make sure we get whatever we need. It was my husbands birthday and he made sure we got some extra special celebrations from the time we checked in to the W lounge at Male airport and also the rest of the day. My husband felt very special lol. Audi the f&b manager was always there to make sure we had everything we needed and to make sure our baby girl had whatever kind of food we wanted for her and to always have a good laugh. Also Dewi from the spa gives the best massages. Celine made sure we always had a nice breakfast. For the best workout, boxing and also personal training, you need to get in touch with Mark & Tuttu. These guys really make you have the best work outs without it feeling like a work out. And always in for a good time. I personally made sure Chef Wasantha prepared all of our meals this trip because he knows exactly how to make them to perfection. Even if you feel like having something that is not on the menu he would make it happen. He was there every morning and made sure we had whatever we needed for breakfast and the rest of the day. He also made sure we started our day off with a plate of fresh fruits without us even asking. This is the kind of taking care you won’t find anywhere else. He also made our daughter babymeals and she absolutely loved them. Our villas where taken care of by Abdulla Shareef. Abdul always made sure our villa was spotless and that we had everything we needed in the villa. Abdul and Hussain also did some special decoration on our bed wich we absolutely loved! The resort manager Alex also made sure all our needs were met. Such an amazing and kind person. If you are at W and you are in your villa and you need anything. Just send a WhatsApp to the front dest with whatever request you have. Aiham, Saha, Bisha or some other amazing staff member will make sure you get what you need. They are so many more nice things I can say about the staff or the resort it goes on and on. Don’t think twice, just go to the W Maldives. Believe me it’s the best! At first we were nervous about going with our 5 month old, but once we got there we could just relax because they took good care of us. We can not wait to go back again next year!!…

We vacationed in this hotel with our family, the island is small but very cozy. The hotel has its own reef, with a variety of flora and fauna, I recommend it for lovers of snorkeling and diving. I would especially like to note the food at the hotel, everything is simply incredibly tasty, fresh and varied. A pleasant compliment was also waiting for us in the room, in the greeting card. Our family took 2 villas, 1 water villa and 1 beach villa. I can say that each of them has advantages and special highlights, so it’s even difficult to say which one was better. But you definitely won't be disappointed in any of them. Of course, the hotel staff holds a special place. Thanks to them, your vacation starts right from the airport, you just have to enjoy your vacation, and they will take care of everything else. I would especially like to mention Aika, Ali, Ben, Saushan who were always there and ready to help. The rooms are cleaned twice a day and only when you are away from the room, so it creates a special feeling of care for you, because when you return to the room, as if by magic, it is always clean and cozy. Of course, nature itself and the ocean will not leave you indifferent. This was the best vacation for us. I highly recommend choosing this hotel.…
