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!
