Get Whatever, Wherever When You Get to the W Maldives

We've raved on before about the idyllic beauty of the Maldives' W Retreat and Spa, and this week the Sydney Morning Herald did the same. Let's start with the negatives: it's outrageously expensive. But when you get past the money issue, it's nothing short of perfect. As SMH's Erin O'Dwyer begins:

There's nothing quite like drinking champagne in the bath. Especially if that bath is in a villa, on a coral reef, in the middle of the Indian Ocean.

She goes on to explain being met with fancy cocktails and a silent golf buggy to drive her to her villa, where relaxing music was playing as she arrived, and fudge and special Rocky Road chocolate were waiting for her (this is a big plus for us). Meals from six different restaurants sound like they actually defined mouth-watering, and to top it all off, the snorkelling tour shows the reviewer the best reef she's ever seen. What sounds especially nice is the resorts "whatever, wherever" policy:

Anything so long as it's legal, be it a champagne-filled bath or a wedding dress delivered in a helicopter..

We'd settle for just a couple of bottles of champagne and a few extra boxes of chocolates delivered by helicopter.
