Stop the Clock at W Retreat & Spa – Maldives
Maldives.net.mv – Make your holiday season truly memorable this year! Get away in style and escape to W Retreat & Spa – Maldives, the most iconic Resort in the Maldives. Located only 25 minutes away from the International airport, on the very exotic island of Fesdu in the North Ari Atoll, the luxury playground is the best place to usher in the New Year. Offering blissful spa treatments, delectable cuisine, the coolest cocktails and the biggest, most glamorous party night of the year, with a line-up of visionary DJ’s and entertainment in a wonderland of dazzling white sand and turquoise lagoons, the Festive Season will be unforgettable.
Celebrate like there’s no tomorrow
The impressive line-up of international DJs and fabulous fireworks will help you to unplug 2015 and welcome the New Year in style. Erica Rhone, Barber and Satin Jackets will step behind the decks at FIRE beach to spin vibrant tunes all nights for the Indian Ocean’s most dazzling crowd to ring in 2016.
Erica Rhone, acclaimed as one of New-York city’s most well-known female DJs and producers, has toured and played in some of the best nightclubs. She has rocked the Playboy Mansion and the desert for Burning Man in the USA and played at Jenja and W Bali in Indonesia, BASH in Bangkok and Attica in Singapore just to name but a few.
Faceless Recordings co-founder, OFF Recordings newcomer and Nurvous Records debutant, English DJ and producer, Barber has quickly established himself as an artist to keep a close eye on. His greatest attribute when it comes to production is his flair for improvisation, which is exactly how he learned to play the keys on blues and jazz scales. Taking influences from a samba background, percussion is an obvious crucial element in the music he creates where the grooves are designed to complement Barber’s most prominent factor, his voice!
Finally, Satin Jackets is the brainchild of German music producer Tim Bernhardt who teamed up with his friend Den Ishu as lead performer. Recent successes like “You Make Me Feel Good”, collaborations with highly demanded vocalists, as well as top-ranked remixing work have turned the project into a very recognizable brand name for lush Indie Dance tunes with a pop appeal and a four-to-the-floor groove.
Usher in the New Year 2016 with style!
Start New Year’s Day refueling your body and mind at the award winning AWAY® Spa with the spectacular ‘Diamond Indulgence’. Begin this pampering journey with an aromatic steam session followed by a pungent foot bath, diamond dust & pearl scrub and gold clay body mask. Sink into a Champagne bath looking out across a spectacular infinite Indian Ocean view while sipping on a glass of Veuve Clicquot and savoring En Ke Baeki Caviar. Last but not least, a Pomelo & gold full body massage, whitening facial and hand manicure perfection will be provided along with a comfort sole for an irrepressible sexy mood.
New Year’s Day will see the legendary line-up of DJ’s step behind the decks once more to spin some glam-over hangover beats at the legendary Shock Wave Pool party for the hotel’s glossy guests.
After a long afternoon of celebration, a lucky couple will have the possibility to start 2016 on Gaathafushi, W’s own deserted island to indulge in exquisite serenity, exploring the surrounding silent lagoon before hanging on the beach and unwinding like never before while their private Chef sets up a special candle light BBQ as the sun dips over the horizon. At night, the activity of choice includes star-gazing, before falling asleep under the thatched roof, feeling the fresh breeze of the Indian Ocean. Natural wakeup calls are attuned to the languid pace of the island, with breakfast served on the white sand beach.
To ring in the New Year in style, the glamorous ‘Stop the clock’ package is ideal for those looking to amplify their entrance to 2016. This package is available for bookings until 28 December 2015, with a minimum of three nights. Book early and receive the New Year’s Eve Gala dinner on house!

Perfect wellness getaway: Amyra Dastur’s rejuvenating stay at The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo
The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort recently hosted Indian actress and model Amyra Dastur, who took a break from her busy schedule to enjoy a wellness retreat in the Maldives. Renowned for her roles in Bollywood Hindi and Tamil cinema, as well as her international debut alongside Jackie Chan in Kung Fu Yoga, Amyra embraced the resort’s holistic approach to well-being, balancing relaxation, fitness, and exploration.
During her stay, Dastur enjoyed the tranquil setting of her spacious Overwater Villa with Pool, offering stunning ocean views and luxurious comfort, including Westin’s signature Heavenly Bed™, ensuring a restful night’s sleep after active days. She maintained her fitness routine by utilising the resort’s wellness facilities, frequently visiting the 24/7 WestinWORKOUT® Fitness Studio, equipped with modern training equipment. She also rekindled her love for running through the resort’s signature RunWESTIN™ program, taking in the scenic island routes. To end her days, she participated in Sunset Yoga sessions alongside her best friend and other guests.
Dining was a delight for Dastur, as she enjoyed nourishing meals at the resort’s various restaurants. She dined at Island Kitchen, which offered Maldivian Night accompanied by a Boduberu performance, savoured the pan-Asian flavours at Hawker, and indulged in Japanese specialties at The Pearl. However, her most treasured experiences were exploring the vibrant marine life. Just steps from her villa, she encountered turtles on her trip to Turtle Island and had a memorable visit to Hanifaru Bay, where she witnessed majestic manta rays, a highlight of her stay.
After her ocean adventures, Dastur took advantage of the resort’s recovery and relaxation amenities. The Hyperice massage gear, provided through Westin’s Gear Lending program, helped ease muscle stiffness, while the soothing Sleep Well Lavender Balm provided a perfect balance of relaxation.
Commenting on her stay, Dastur said, “The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort has been the perfect retreat for balancing my wellness goals with pure relaxation. From the beautiful marine life to the exceptional wellness offerings and services, this place has truly recharged my mind and body. I leave with unforgettable experiences and total rejuvenation.”
Located within the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Baa Atoll, The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort is a 25-minute seaplane journey from Malé. With its thoughtfully designed wellness programs, it serves as an ideal destination for couples, families, or groups of friends seeking relaxation and adventure during Diwali and the festive holidays.
