Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi
South Male Atoll, Maldives
Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi is a sophisticated and serene retreat that spans three inter-linking islands in the South Malé Atoll, just a 45-minute yacht journey away from Malé International Airport via the resort’s luxury yacht. The 119 all-villa resort will offer an escape for couples and families in search of space and exclusivity, as well as a plethora of activities for guests of all generations. The resort will offer 11 exceptional, specialty-dining venues – the variety of which is a first in the Maldives – and is set to redefine the culinary experience in the Maldives.
Review
Offering some of the largest and most impressive villas in the Maldives, Waldorf Astoria certainly gives the 'wow' factor. You instantly feel like a VIP the moment you hop onboard their luxury yacht. The 3 islands are joined by bridges which makes it easier to explore the property by bike. Li Long and The Ledge by Dave Pynt are both my culinary highlight! We also got to experience the hydrotherapy pool in Maldives' first Aqua Wellness centre. Our butler was extremely attentive and professional and he even took us round the private island for a tour!
