In the heart of the Maldives, nestled within a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, lies a sanctuary of luxury and tranquility, the Westin Maldives Miriandhoo. This resort offers guests not just the typical opulence and breathtaking views, but a unique opportunity for holistic rejuvenation.
The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort is committed to the brand’s five pillars of well-being: Sleep Well, Move Well, Eat Well, Feel Well, and Play Well. These concepts come to life on a picturesque island in the Baa Atoll, surrounded by a vibrant coral house reef. Guests can immerse themselves in the natural beauty with unparalleled snorkeling experiences, exploring marine wonders such as manta rays at nearby Hanifaru Bay.
Architecturally, the resort harmonizes with its environment, featuring a design that echoes both Japanese aesthetics and marine life. Its commitment to sustainability is evident in initiatives like a new solar power system providing a quarter of the island’s electricity and the ‘Green Delights’ greenhouse supplying organic produce for its restaurants.
The resort’s accommodations reinforce the ‘Sleep Well’ philosophy. Guests can choose between overwater villas or beachside retreats, each equipped with signature Westin Heavenly Beds for optimal rest. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame stunning ocean panoramas, and features like glass floor panels in the living area of overwater villas allow guests to view the enchanting marine life below. Rooms include thoughtful amenities such as a sophisticated drink station and luxurious bathrooms with deep tubs.
Dining at the resort is an experience in itself, upholding the ‘Eat Well’ concept with a diverse culinary offering. The signature Japanese-inspired restaurant, The Pearl, serves a sought-after five-course Kaiseki menu, while Island Kitchen provides a global culinary journey, complete with a notable breakfast buffet. Casual dining at Hawker and scenic sundowners at the Sunset Bar further enhance the culinary experience.
For those who seek wellness alongside indulgence, the resort offers an impressive range of activities and amenities. The Heavenly Spa, situated over the lagoon, provides therapeutic treatments with views of the ocean below through see-through flooring. Fitness enthusiasts can take advantage of the WestinWORKOUT Fitness Studio, tennis courts, and guided sunrise yoga sessions. Water sports activities like manta ray snorkeling, scuba diving, and dolphin excursions capitalize on the resort’s unique location within the coral-rich Baa Atoll.
Families are also catered to with the Westin Family Kids Club offering engaging activities for children. A unique collaboration with sleep specialists ensures children also benefit from the ‘Sleep Well’ philosophy, with sleep-inducing activities designed to help them rest better.
As the sun sets over this stunning island retreat, guests of the Westin Maldives Miriandhoo find themselves in a haven where luxury, nature, and wellness unite. It’s not just a holiday but a transformative escape that revitalizes the body and soul.
