To celebrate the highly anticipated release of Spectre, the latest film in the 007 saga, W Retreat & Spa - Maldives has launched the ultimate James Bond themed package.

To celebrate the highly anticipated release of Spectre, the latest film in the 007 saga, W Retreat & Spa – Maldives has launched the ultimate James Bond themed package.

The package is perfect for adrenaline junkies who want to step into the slick shoes of the famous double agent and will let guests will slip into character as soon as they land, with a seaplane transfer to the luxurious resort where they’ll flirt with adventure by day and Bond Girl by night.

The following activities will get any double agent’s heart racing:

  • Jet skiing –Guests will channel their inner Roger Moore in “The Spy Who Loved Me” and bounce across the waves, racing against time to save the world and the object of their affection
  • Sea bob lesson – A cross between a jet ski and a body board, learn to take the enemy by surprise, propelling over, and more importantly, under the water at speeds of up to 20km/h
  • Parasailing –Keep a (golden) eye out for the bad guys and take to the sky for the ultimate bird’s eye view of the island and the Indian Ocean
  • Night snorkelling –Enter into stealth mode and take in the sites of the Indian Ocean under the cover of darkness. Discover what comes out once the sunsets and the stars light up the sky. The fauna and corals found in the North Ari atoll are the most diverse and abundant in the Maldives
  • Martinis –Shaken not stirred, of course. Treat the Bond Girl to a pre-dinner cocktail at the resorts signature SIP bar
  • Private dinner to the “best of bond” soundtrack –Only the best for MI6’s top agent. Enjoy a private dinner for two on the coral terrace – a round terrace on the beach protruding into the ocean, and let your guard down as you enjoy all the best theme songs

A far cry from the grey skies engulfing the MI6 London HQ, W Retreat & Spa – Maldives is more than equipped to meet the demands of the notorious 007 agent. Doused in sunshine and surrounded by crystal clear water, the rooms themselves are designed to perfection with private plunge pools, bespoke mini bars and the signature W Bed.

The state-of-the-art FIT workout facility and indulgent AWAY spa are also available to keep the modern day Bond in peak physical form.
