Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi

The Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi is an Indian Ocean resort that just keeps on giving, one of the finest Maldives escapes. Sheltered on a private island in the South Malé Atoll, the location itself is a highlight of any stay here, surrounded as it is by crystalline waters in every direction, soft golden sands and a private reef that’s perfect for snorkelling and scuba diving. The dreamy accommodation options are outstanding: all come with a private pool, a sun and dining terrace with hammocks and daybeds, either ocean views or instant beach access and for the larger villas – separate dining and living rooms, plus all the mod-cons and huge floorplans throughout.

You then have 11 distinct restaurants and bars available at Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi. From treetop fine dining to tucking into Levante cuisine in an ‘Arabian village’, sunset champagne and cocktails to laidback poolside beats at the beach bar, the choice is yours. The watersports centre here offers everything from jetpacks to windsurfing, sailing to surfing, while a signature onsite spa will take care of all your rebalancing, relaxation, and restoration needs. Finally, while the resort is ideal for couples thanks to its privacy and elegance, families are also welcome and kids have a Young Discovery Park to keep them entertained, and babysitting if you need it, too.
