Currently at Soneva Fushi. Similar to Jani and yet so different.

I REALLY like it so far but I must admit that I am a “no news no shoes” type of girl, highly enjoy to take a bike (so no risk of a broken buggy) and like to wander on the beach for hours in a T shirt and shorts, just enjoying the sea and the sun. For us that’s all a holiday in Maldives should be about. A spacious and well-appointed room and nice food to add and that’s it. So far Fushi does the job and does it quite good.

Especially @bhrubin: the W Maldives was a bliss .
Not as high end as Soneva but we truly enjoyed. Service is very good with some exceptional people. Our waiter for dinners was Aman-like! Also mind that the new GM is ex Ritz-Carlton, RC Reserve to be exact (Thailand and Bali). That should tell you something. A/C should not be an issue. Our room (entry level, beach Oasis) was only set to 23C and was freezing in the evenings. So pretty sure anything a bit lower would already fit your needs. Food was simply amazing. Prices were steep though; at first sight Soneva Fushi is cheaper when it comes down to food pricing.
