Set on the exotic island of Fesdu in the North Ari Atoll, the W Retreat & Spa unites its ultra-chic décor and design with the exquisite beauty of the Maldives. Guests of the W Retreat can expect the bold styling and exciting vibe of its city hotels but with tropical relaxation and island landscapes as a soothing backdrop.
The W Retreat is an exciting blend of innovative architectural design and contemporary living esthetics with island-village simplicity. Both the bi-level beachfront and single-level over-water villas offer private plunge pools and their own BBQs for impromptu cookouts.
The main pool is another popular favorite at the W Retreat, with its restful chaises and the cool convenience of Wet, part swim-up pool bar with specialty cocktails and part poolside lounge gone gourmet. For spa relaxation, head over to the Away spa to indulge in any number of soothing therapies in the over-water treatment rooms.
The resort’s stylish restaurants offer creative gourmet cuisine, and its underground club lounge, 15 Below, serves up guest DJs and creative concoctions on the dance floor or in the comfort of your own divan.
