W Retreat

White sparkling sand and gentle sound of waves welcome you as your feet first touch this exotic, hip and trendy sanctuary. Your holiday has begun and every moment is yours to enjoy just the way you want it. Anything you desire any time of the day, anywhere on the island, your every whim will be looked after

You will be wowed by your spectacular retreat perched over turquoise lagoon or along a private sweep of white sand beach. Soak up the Maldivian rays on your sundeck or stretch out on the circular daybed. Go for a dip in your private plunge pool or fire up the BBQ station for savoury delights to enjoy with vintage wine from your wine fridge. Inside, laze around to the sight and sounds of your plasma TV and Bose surround-sound system for complete relaxation

Creative gourmet cuisine for unforgettable dining experiences at the six eateries; FIRE the casual outdoor barbeque with serene, romantic and casual mood. FISH features wild caught fresh seafood prepared with Asian flair. KITCHEN is a modern interpretation of bistro fare for all day dining. Watch the sun go down at cocktail hour in SIP. Swim up to pool bar WET to sample creative drink concoctions. Afterwards, hang out at unique 15 BELOW nightclub

Pamper yourself with lavish Maldivian living. Unwind, infuse the soul, enjoy massage, body wrap or facial under the Dhow inspired sunshade at innovative and luxurious AWAY Spa. Fill your days with pleasure; explore the undersea world of reefs and shipwrecks, go cruising on Maldivian dhoni, do a spot of yoga on the beach, participate in a cooking class or be whisked away by speedboat to champagne picnic on your own sandbank.
