W Maldives

W Maldives is one of the most popular hotel chains in the world with gay travelers, so it goes without saying that this is among the most gay-friendly hotels in the Maldives. Accommodation consists of luxurious private villas, each packed with features like a private plunge pool, state-of-the-art tech, outdoor daybeds, and W’s signature king-sized beds. The overwater villas, perched on stilts over the crystal clear waters of the island, are especially impressive. If you can drag yourself away from your villa, you’ll find facilities including an amazing spa, a modern and well-equipped gym, and a range of activities like watersports and yoga. Food is delicious, especially the barbecue at FIRE and the seafood at FISH. The resort is located a 1.5 hour speedboat ride or a 25-minute seaplane journey from Male Airport.
