The resort offers 46 one-bedroom overwater villas, 23 one-bedroom beach villas, 4 two-bedroom overwater villas, and 2 two-bedroom beach villas. Each villa includes a private pool and a few have water slides. Interiors use a neutral and warm color palette to complement the natural landscape and maintain a consistent look across the accommodations.

Dining

W Maldives offers diverse options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, focusing on unprententious, shareable dishes that are perfect for enjoying outdoors.

Guests can explore several distinctive venues across the island: FISH showcases an Ocean-to-Table concept highlighting the freshest seafood, while SIP brings together Nikkei flavors with vibrant Latin American cocktails. FIRE serves up smoky, beachside barbecue, while WET sits at the heart of the resort with day-to-night poolside bites and drinks designed for sharing.
