W Maldives

₹ 659,300
/
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

W Maldives is on Fesdu Island in North Ari Atoll, 25 minutes from Velana by seaplane. The price on this page covers the island part of the holiday in full: your villa, the shared return seaplane, your meal plan and every Maldivian tax, green tax included.

The choice that matters most here is the meal plan. Half board and full board include no drinks at all, not even bottled water. The island has six places to eat and drink, from KITCHEN, the all-day restaurant, to FISH over the lagoon and SIP, the overwater bar.

What you pay

Pick your dates, a villa and a meal plan and the price is the whole stay: two people in a one-bedroom villa or four in a two-bedroom, with a seaplane seat for each of them. Three and four nights are priced on this page.

From October the entry point is ₹586,100 for three nights on half board in the Superior Overwater One-bedroom Villa. Low season, which ends on 30 September, is priced lower.

On honeymoon, book four nights. The resort's honeymoon and anniversary benefits need four nights in a row, and at three you get none of them. The fourth night in that same villa adds ₹145,200 from October.

For four people, take the two-bedroom villa. Four nights in the Supreme Overwater Two-bedroom Villa come to ₹133,900 less from October than two Superior Overwater villas, and two adults with two children fit the same price.

All inclusive rarely pays here. It adds drinks from 11:00 to 23:00 from a set menu, and the step over full board is steep. Unless you drink steadily through the day, half or full board and paying for what you order usually comes out lower.

What's included, and what isn't

In the price: your villa, breakfast and dinner on half board, all three meals on full board, meals and drinks from 11:00 to 23:00 on all inclusive, the shared return seaplane with the lounge before your flight, and every Maldivian tax including green tax.

Not in the price: your international flights, travel insurance, any drink on half or full board, FISH, destination dining and the themed evenings on every plan, any seaplane fuel surcharge, the spa and excursions, Indian TCS, and anything not named above.

Who this isn't for

Three adults in a one-bedroom villa. These prices are for two, and a third person needs the resort's approval and their own seaplane seat. Ask us before you plan on it.

Anyone landing at Velana after 15:00. Seaplanes fly in daylight only, so a late arrival means a night in Malé first and a paid night on the island lost.

Honeymooners on three nights, for the reason above, and anyone hoping to add another offer on top. These prices combine only with the honeymoon and anniversary benefits.

Before you book

These prices run to 24 December 2026. Christmas and New Year are not priced on this page. We can still book it.

Five nights or more, and a split between a beach and an overwater villa, are not priced on this page. We can book both. On a split stay the resort can change the second villa, so talk to us before you plan around it.

Honeymooners need the marriage certificate at the resort seven days before arrival. Infants under two stay and fly free. New bookings only, up to five villas. Ask us for the cancellation and payment terms before you pay.

Send us your dates and who is travelling, and we will price the meal plans side by side for the villa you like. Message our Maldives specialists on WhatsApp or send us an enquiry. We reply within 24 hours.

House reef 5/5 Exceptional

Live coral within swimming distance of the beach, reliably good fish life, safe entry.

A small round island with a natural reef most of the way around it, and the drop-off about two minutes' swim from the beach. Guests report resident turtles, blacktips, rays and moray eels, with a fish density that people who have snorkelled the Great Barrier Reef rate above it. The stretch between the restaurant and the spa is the one to swim, and marked channels show you where to cross. The current usually runs one way along the reef, so get in up-current, drift back and walk. Gear is free, and a resident marine biologist runs guided and night snorkels.

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.
