The W Maldives $2k/night Resort Review | Lagoon View | Spectacular Overwater Villa | Private Pool

Trans Maldivian Airway (tma) baggage allowance is:
- 25kg which includes 20kg of checked-in luggage and 5kg of hand luggage/person
- The weight of any bag should not exceed 32 kg
- Anything exceeding the permissible weight is $5/kg + applicable taxes
Room Details and upgrade:
- W Hotel Maldives Overwater Villa, Lagoon view, Spectacular Overwater with Hammock and a private pool.
- We originally booked the Fabulous Overwater Villa, Ocean View with a private pool and upgraded to the Spectacular Overwater Villa, Lagoon view with a private pool.
Seaplane: ( 20 minute flight)
- The Seaplane fare is $505 USD/Person (roundtrip)
- If you want to arrive at your resort on the same day, you need to arrive at the Malé airport by 3:30PM local time. If you do arrive later, there are boats that operate after 3:30 PM that can take you to your resort.
- It tends to get very hot and humid inside the plane. The second row is the best seat because there are fans in the first row that can cool you off.
Resort:
- The island is not big so you don’t have to worry about getting lost
- There are buggies that can take you around at any time.
Food: ( PLUS 10% service fee and 12% GST)
- The price per meal was around 100-150 USD for 2 without drinks.
- As a Gold bonvoy member, you get 15% off food and beverage.
- As a platinum/higher bonvoy member, you get 20% off food and beverage.
- Once a month, they have something called wokaholic. It’s a buffet style wok on the beach. The price was $240 USD for 2 people before fees and taxes. The experience was definitely worth it!
- There are 4 main restaurants at the resort. (Kitchen, Fish, Fire and SIP)
- Kitchen is the main restaurant with all day dining. This is also where you’ll go for the buffet breakfast ($25USD/person if platinum member/higher, it’s free). We had Biryani, Butter chicken and Nachos for dinner at this restaurant.
- The Fish and the Fire restaurant are open on alternating nights.
- The Fish restaurant, as the name suggests, serves only seafood. We had catch of the day fish and had it half grilled half fried and it came with 2 sides.
- The SIP was a bar where they also served sushi. We had heard great things about their sushi but after trying it, I could easily say it was very mediocre.
- Overall our dining experience was above average. The portion sizes were also very decent.

Thank you for this as the information was quite helpful. I appreciate you spelling out more info on the seaplane as I don't know if most people are aware of that extra cost (I know I wasn't). Looking forward to going myself.....

[@KassimKassim-r3e]

hey what do you recommend, the lagoon view or ocean view?

[@nilootravelfar]

Hey, I would say the lagoon view! The lagoon view provides a unique experience. I actually went to the ocean view rooms to get tested for covid (since we we were travelling during covid) and I noticed you a lot of noise from the sea planes (since that’s the side they land) and the view is a bit restricted. However, you do get a mini private beach right in front of your room and some people prefer that over views! Hope this helps and me know if you have any other questions!

[@ayumichu2809]

Any chance to more upgrade as bonbon elite , if u ask for

[@nilootravelfar]

Hi, to the best of my knowledge, this is probably as good as it gets! You probably won't be able to get a better upgrade than this room!

[@e30ygc]
