With the opening of W Retreat & Spa, the ultra Chic W Group of hotels has brought a new and exciting concept to the Maldives. Set on the exotic and beautiful private island of Fesdu, W Maldives has been created to harmoniously blend cutting edge architectural design with the traditional barefoot luxury with which the Maldives has for long been traditionally associated.
 

'Whatever you want, whenever you want it' is the philosophy of W Hotels throughout the world, and in The Maldives it promises to be no different. Three restaurants and three bars are testament to this philosophy, each stunningly designed, and each offering an array of gourmet meals and drinks. The ‘15 Below’ bar is perhaps the most startling of these – an underground bar / nightclub, outlining just how W intends on redifining the luxury Maldivian experience.
 

Accommodation is available in the form of twenty-eight spectacular land based shoreline retreats and fifty individual retreats, consisting of forty-six spacious over-water Ocean retreats, three two-bedroom Seascape Escapes and one two-bedroom Ocean Haven. Sleek, stylish interior design and all the modern gadgetry one could possibly need are an integral part of the appeal.  
 

Each retreat features an extensive state-of-the-art sound system, plasma screen TV, DVD and spacious indoor and outdoor living areas, plunge pools, barbecues for private dining, outdoor showers and day beds for lolling in the lap of luxury. 
 

The sports and recreation facilities exceptional. For those wanting to indulge, the Away Spa awaits. The spa concept is based on a dhow, a traditional Maldivian boat featuring elegant forms and vibrant sails. For those with energy to burn, facilities include, Sweat a state-of-the-art fitness centre, main swimming pool and beaches with water sports and a dive centre.
