Assuming PWV means Premier Water Villa? If so, we’ve stayed in them many times (but always the one nearest the Sunset Water Villas if that makes any difference to you) - so I’d hope to be able to answer most things that might interest you about them (interestingly privacy is quite a good question given you’d intuitively think it might not be given what they are.) What are you keen to know?

Ok I’ll give it a go - but having written the below it’s probably a bit light on objective facts and more about personal preferences:

PRIVACY
• Overall excellent. When it works it is a feeling of being totally isolated, in a vast space, away from any other villas (including the one linked to it), expansive full view of ocean etc. Quite unique compared to all the other villa types (except the Sunset ones of course). And that feeling is highly likely except by exception because very few people venture up that far because there no much there. The excepts:
• it’s linked to (not separate from) the other PWV - so it has a connecting door both indoors and outside in the dividing fence they use to create an overwater suite for some guest. This means that if someone is in the one next door then you will be able to catch a glimpse of them through the slats in the fence depending on the angle you are sitting. It’s not intrusive at all unless your neighbour happens to be a perv and deliberately sits at an angle they can view you (but the clientele that book them would seem less likely to do so). In fact of the half dozen times we’ve been in one, the other one was maybe empty for our entire stay half those times (and except on 1 stay, we’ve always stayed in it for a week+ so it’s often empty a lot - guess that depends on time of year though - we’ve been in it in August mostly).
• Can’t say I ever recall ‘overhearing’ people next door when the other one was occupied (or their music even though there are speaker), but that’s probably because like most people they will be quiet and relaxed in the Maldives. I can imagine a noisy neighbour being quite easy to hear and annoy me though if they choose to be.
• There are 3 big exceptions you can get to the people never venturing up there: there is a sand bar which makes for a wonderful photo shot and people in the know do go up there. Naturally they don’t spend all day there but they are very visible if you are in the villa that’s the one nearest the sunset water villas; similarly they occasionally use it for more professional, promotional photo shoots, in which case they can setup there for quite a while; lastly and probably most intrusively, in the evening they do sometimes have people on the sandbar having their private beach meal - and if you’re outside on your deck in the evening you can see and hear them if you stand up and because it’s dark they tend to look over because your movement naturally catches their eye
• If you are in your toilet (its own separate cubicle rather than affecting the bathroom) and don’t pull down the window bind then you’ll only make that mistake 1 time when you spot someone walking past!
• There is a piece of coral (quite a nice piece and a half decent size although like most of the coral in the resort is rather dead now) directly at the steps of the left hand one (the one further from the sunset water villas). If you’re in that one your neighbour might snorkel it but nobody else will as they won’t know it’s there and it’s way too tiny to bother with unless you’re staying in either of those villas.

WHAT YOU GET (that makes me enjoy it relative to other ones)
• The walk to it feels unique and a bit special because it’s beyond all the other villas (except the sunset ones) and is actually a lovely sand track with bushes that seems better by some measure compared to other parts of the island trails.
• A bit of status, snobbery feeling and a sense that you’ve done well (makes me sound like an arse but the feeling may also matter and be worth it to some)
• There’s a day-bed outside, that’s the size of a emperor bed, raised up over the water and is just wonderful during the day as well as for star gazing at night. I’ve drunk more bottles of champagne with the missus watching stars sat on there than anywhere else in the resort
• The pool is a totally usable size, much more than you’d think, gorgeous lighting to it, overhangs the water perfectly and is a genuine infinity experience that’s private to you - you’ll burn a few gigs of disk space on pics I assure you!
• You get a great (and massive) plate of fruit, tons of chocolates and champagne - and they refill all the time (I think that’s due to PWV because even through I’ve been a dozen times, am Diamond etc I don’t get quite that when we stay in their other villas). Top TWAG tea selection and mini bar is filled with different really decent stuff!
• Bulgavri toiletries, and in nice little sizes you can slip into your snorkel bag and easily carry to use to demist you mask when you’re over on the main reef.
• Room is special, and huge, wonderful sofa and TV, amazing bathroom as you’d expect, brilliant wardrobe room etc etc. There will be better in other resorts nowadays I’m sure but you won’t fail to see it as very special anyway.
• There is absolutely no current, ever as far as I can recall, outside it and the water is always about waist to shoulder height. Steps down into water are wide and makes them a lot more welcoming and easy going that the other villas. Despite being over sand and me loving snorkelling - I still snorkel round the villa when I don’t round the other types.
• My wife loves it, it’s her favourite - and I can tell she feels safest privacy wise in it as she’s so much more relaxed and less body-concious sunbathing on its deck that any of the others

WHY NOT ALWAYS STAY IN IT (might be a good question given the above)
• Well, my favourite villa type is surprisingly a Superior Water Villa. There is no question that the SWV is nowhere near in the same level as the PWV - but what I personally love is the feeling of a room on stilts where I’m closely connected to and aware that I’m right in the middle of the ocean and sat 2 feet from it. The PWV is very much a big hotel suite that unless you’re outside in the pool makes you feel some distance from being connected to where you actually are in the world, despite being able to see the ocean fully from wherever you are in the room it’s just a long way away given how large the room is. (And my personal preference for that is so much that it means I prefer the SWV to the DWV even though in that case the difference is only a matter of a few feet more - I would however take the DWV at the end of the chain of them over any other room if I could snag it, because it has no fence and doesn’t need one because of its location so you can open all the doors and you’re effectively on a platform in the middle of the ocean!)
• I’d you end up paying full price then it’s a ton of cash, and I’ve never felt it was worth it or done it at full price (we’ve been given an upgrade to it a couple of times and the other times we’ve spent 7-14 nights in it we’ve grabbed it at maybe 30%+ off full rates).

If there’s anything else you wanted to know then do ask or PM. I think one year we stayed in it we made a video walk through because it was so cool. Will be on YouTube somewhere I think.
