Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi

OVERVIEW

Book the Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi and prepare for a dreamworld of private yacht transfers, Michelin-star cuisine, and some of the most sought-after villas in the Indian Ocean. This is pure Maldives refinement where every detail, pool tile, colour coded artwork and piece of rattan furniture has been carefully considered to create a distinct, tangible sense of place, class, and decadence in one.

The Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi certainly does its idyllic island setting justice then, that is for sure. Though it’s not just the chic look of the large thatched villas and their generous sundecks, pools and terraces either, this is a first-class Indian Ocean resort with substance too. Culinary offerings, for example, come in the form of 11 magnificent bars and restaurants ranging from the most romantic treetop gazebos to fresh seafood in a fun, semi-open-air restaurant styled in the essence of a traditional Arabian village. There are beachside theatre kitchens, Asian noodle and beer bars complete with a sake sommelier, sunset terraces, private dining options, the list simply goes on and they are all as exquisite as each other.

You then have tennis courts at the Waldorf Astoria Maldives, swimming pools, sea kayaks and other watersports, a fitness centre and Young Discovery Park to keep you and yours entertained from one serene day to the next. A signature spa and wellness concierge will also guarantee that, if the world-class food, paradise setting and ethereal views were not enough, a holistic list of personally tailored treatments are on-hand to ensure complete relaxation throughout your stay.

Finally, the Waldorf Astoria Maldives’ villas are reason enough to book this Indian Ocean resort alone. All come with a private pool and sundeck – some stretching out into the ocean where a comfy swinging sofa awaits, under the shade of a thatched roof. And whether perched directly on the beach or hovering over the ocean, the refined décor, luxe amenities and views for every Waldorf Astoria Maldives’ villa places them among the region’s very best.
