W Maldives Set to Reopen with Nature-Inspired Villas in March 2025
W Maldives, the iconic luxury resort nestled in the North Ari Atoll, is set to welcome guests back on March 1, 2025 with a bold, full-scale transformation that redefines the island escape.
After nearly two decades as a trailblazer in luxury Maldivian hospitality, the resort will reopen with an entirely reimagined design and elevated guest experience that combines W’s signature free spirit with the island’s natural splendour.
“We are excited to introduce a completely reimagined W Maldives to the world,” said Amila Handunwala, General Manager of W Maldives. “This transformation is a bold step forward, blending the distinctive W spirit with the incredible natural beauty of the Maldives. We are confident that our guests will find not only a luxurious escape, but a dynamic and unforgettable experience that reflects the true essence of paradise.”
The Essence of the Transformation
At the heart of this transformation lies a refreshed vision for what W Maldives represents: a place where W’s signature playful spirit meets elevated luxury. The resort’s nature-inspired 77 villas—overwater and beachfront—have been meticulously redesigned to reflect the vibrancy of the island’s natural beauty.
Culinary Offerings
W Maldives is also redefining its culinary offerings, elevating the island’s dining experience with bold new concepts. The resort’s signature restaurant, FISH, will introduce an “Ocean-to-Table” experience that highlights the freshest local seafood.
The revamped concept, SIP, offers a Latin American-inspired dining experience, while FIRE enhances the BBQ experience with wood-fired cuisine and high-quality steak cuts.
Exclusive Experiences
In addition to the reimagined accommodations and dining offerings, W Maldives plans a calendar filled with exciting events and programming for its guests in 2025, ensuring an unmatched vacation experience in the Maldives.
W Maldives promises not only to be a luxurious escape but also a vibrant and dynamic destination for travelers seeking both adventure and relaxation.
