W Maldives

Regular price₹ 505,000
/
Double occupancy, 3 nights, half board, shared return seaplane, all taxes included except TCS, low season · book by 24 Dec 2026 · stays 12 Apr to 24 Dec 2026

The price you see is the price. Every figure above contains the shared return seaplane, your meal plan, the green tax and every other tax, so there is nothing further to pay for the room, the flight or the tax.

Fesdu Island, North Ari Atoll. The package prices two people in a one-bedroom villa and four in a two-bedroom, and it stops on 24 December 2026. Low season runs to 30 September and the step into October is 12 to 30%, so flexible dates should aim at the last month of low season.

What this actually costs

  • All inclusive usually is not worth it here. On four nights in the Superior Overwater villa, full board costs ₹65,900 more than half board and all inclusive ₹139,900 more again, about ₹17,500 per person per day. Unless you drink steadily from late morning, order what you want and pay for it.
  • Read this before settling on half board. Neither half nor full board includes any beverage, not even bottled water. FISH, Destination Dining and the themed evenings sit outside every plan, though half and full board guests get 50% off the food there and all-inclusive guests do not.
  • Split the four nights between two villas. Two in the Escape Beach villa then two in the Superior Overwater is ₹654,100 on half board in low season, against ₹685,000 for four straight beach nights. You sleep in both and pay ₹30,900 less. Not on the dropdown, so ask.
  • For four people the two-bedroom villa wins. The Supreme Overwater is ₹1,184,600 on four low-season nights against ₹1,246,400 for two Superior Overwater villas. It is ₹61,800 cheaper, everyone is together, and four seaplane seats are in the price.
  • Longer than four nights is priced by extension night and is off the dropdown: five nights is ₹741,400 and seven ₹977,900 in that same villa.

Who this isn’t for

Anyone who wants a third adult in a one-bedroom villa. The package prices two, and a third needs separate confirmation plus their own seaplane seat at USD 730 return, or USD 365 for a child of 2 to 11.99.

Anyone travelling after 24 December, because the package stops there. Anyone hoping to stack this with another promotion, since it combines with nothing except the honeymoon and anniversary benefits. And honeymooners booking three nights, because those benefits need four consecutive nights and at three you forfeit them entirely.

Before you book

  • Seaplanes fly in daylight only, so a late landing at Malé means an overnight in the city before you reach the island. Any fuel surcharge the seaplane operator imposes is charged on top and can change without notice.
  • Book a two-bedroom villa for five nights, not four. At five the resort adds afternoon tea, a stocked bar, a sunset dolphin cruise, daily laundry, a cooking class and a floating breakfast. Four nights gets none of it.
  • The base of four in a two-bedroom covers two adults and two children at no extra charge. Green tax is USD 12 per person per day at any age. New bookings only, minimum three nights, up to five rooms. On honeymoon, your marriage certificate has to reach the resort seven days before arrival.

Send us your dates and who is travelling. We will price two or three villas with the seaplane and every tax inside the number, cost the meal plans side by side, and confirm the split stay in writing if you want it. Message our Maldives team on WhatsApp or send an enquiry.

Getting there

Route Seaplane
Journey 25 min, airport to island
Last arrival that works 15:00

Land at Velana after 15:00 and the last transfer of the day will have gone, which means a night in Malé before you reach the island.

The return seaplane is inside every price, for two in a one-bedroom villa and four in a two-bedroom. Access to the Vilu lounge before the flight, and seaplanes fly in daylight only.
