Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi

Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi

Poised between powder-white sands and crystal blue waters, the Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi redefines luxury in the heart of the Indian Ocean. A short 45-minute yacht transfer from Velana International Airport, this tropical paradise offers an unparalleled blend of seclusion, adventure, and first-class service. An exciting addition to our portfolio, Ithaafushi was recently voted the Maldives top resort by Travel + Leisure.

Boasting an impressive collection of luxurious villas all with private infinity pools, guests are treated to an elegant sanctuary with unrivalled panoramic views. Choose from beachside villas perched beside colourful coral reefs or opulent Reef and overwater villas where overwater hammocks await.

For the ultimate escape from everyday life, opt for Ithaafushi's private island. Complete with a three-bedroom beach villa, a two-bedroom overwater villa, and a four-bedroom residence, there's ample room for a grand gathering. Away from opulent accommodations, this 32,000-square-meter haven boasts a private Spa, gym, tennis courts, entertainment centre, 5 pools and a personal concierge, epitomising barefoot decadence.

Your time at this Maldivian paradise can be as action-packed or relaxed as you desire. Thrill-seekers can explore by paddleboard or make lifelong memories exploring the vibrant marine life with an underwater scooter. Alternatively, while away the hours on a sun lounger by your private pool while younger explorers make new friends at the inspiring Stars Kids Club.

Reconnect with nature. Refresh in an oasis of serenity and blissful indulgence at the Waldorf Astoria spa. Choose from a variety of revitalising treatments, soak up the natural beauty at the soothing Aqua Therapy pool or restore a sense of balance and peace practicing Yoga and Meditation.

11 restaurants ensure dining experiences are memorable feasts, from mouthwatering Peking Duck at Li Long to lobster rolls by Michelin-starred chef Dave Pynt at The Ledge. For an unparalleled culinary experience, dine amongst the Palm trees in one of seven bamboo nests at Terra, and indulge in either a 5 or 7 course menu amongst spectacular surroundings.
