W Maldives and Sheraton Maldives
One of the earliest international luxury resorts in the Maldives and consistently awarded as one the top 10 hotels in the Maldives, the W is located on the private Fesdu Island in North Ari Atoll, a short 25-minute seaplane ride from Male international airport. Located just off Ws beaches, and easily accessible from virtually anywhere on the resort, is one of the best house reefs in the Maldives providing unparalleled snorkeling and diving, including the Maamigili marine protected area, where guests can dive freely with whale sharks and giant rays. Ws guests also have exclusive access to Gaathafushi, Ws private island for Robinson Crusoe-style getaways, picnics and dinners with panoramic sunset views. All of the Ws 77 villas come with private pools and direct beach/sea access.
The Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort and Spa is surrounded by a shimmering blue lagoon, white-sand beaches and swaying palms, and is just 15-minutes away from Velana International Airport. The property is one of the most expansive luxury properties in the Maldives and features a mix of overwater bungalows, ocean view villas and cottages, many with private plunge pools. Guests can enjoy seven restaurants and bars, multiple fresh-water pools, a full-service spa, tennis facilities, and the Sheraton Kids' Club.
