Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi
Contemporary-cool décor and design at every turn themed spaces and entirely individual restaurants are all there to be enjoyed at Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi, a private Indian Ocean island resort that more than lives up to its impeccable good looks.
The style-conscious will certainly be happy at this resort, whether dining in a treetop bamboo bubble at the magical Terra restaurant or unwinding in the modern Maldivian elegance of your pool villa; every space has been wonderfully well thought through at Waldorf Astoria Ithaafushi. That said, the emerald seas and soft sands which surround the entire resort are almost always in sight, and still the main draw, of course.
There’s also a real sense of romance around the Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi, with a good amount of space between each five-star villa and twelve separate eating and drinking venues to cosy up in, as well as a luscious sea-facing spa, several pools (with complimentary cabana service), gardens and multiple private beaches too. And, if you are travelling to the Maldives as a family, you’re in equally good hands here, as the Waldorf Astoria Ithaafushi provides both babysitting services and their Young Discovery Park, which will happily keep kids going throughout the day.
Finally, between Michelin-star meals, spa treatments, cocktails by the pool and sunbathing atop your private deck there are then a handful of activities available at the Waldorf Astoria Ithaafushi. Using the well-equipped gym, complimentary bicycles, kayaks and underwater scooters, parasailing or journeying between islands by boat is about as strenuous as things get at this tranquil Indian Ocean escape, and it’s all the better for it.

Terra
A truly novel space of private bamboo cocoons held up on stilts, perched among the treetops and with views to match, Terra is a special restaurant and the fine-dining food is as impressive as the architecture!
Yasmeen
Cosy Yasmeen has been decorated and adorned to feel like a traditional Arabian village abode, and it works wonderfully well. Think terracotta tiles, exposed wooden beams and mezze-style Middle Eastern dishes cooked over coals.
Li Long
Contemporary Chinese cuisine, traditional teas and sake can be savoured at the lovely Li Long restaurant.
Tasting Table
You’ll find a real mix of dishes at the beachfront Tasting Table, from delicate pastas to Asian-inspired curries and seafood, best enjoyed out on the terrace with accompanying sea views, of course.
Tangled
Restaurant and Bar
An artisan Asian affair, everything is made to order at Tangled and there is a hand-picked beer or sake to match whatever you order!
The Rock
An intimate, uniquely styled restaurant housed in the resort’s cave-like wine cellar – great for private dining.
The Ledge
Restaurant and Bar
Michelin-star Australian BBQ cuisine comes to The Ledge, a Dave Pynt poolside restaurant that’s not to be missed while here.
Glow
Restaurant
All things wellness and homegrown produce are on offer at Glow, courtesy of the island’s own organic gardens. The menus here are sustainably sourced, nutritionally balanced and simply delicious.
Peacock Alley
Restaurant and Bar
For something a little more laidback, head to Peacock Alley where tapas, live music, cocktails and sea views are the order of the day.
Amber
Bar
The resort’s champagne bar, Amber, is perfectly placed for showstopping sunsets from its outdoor terrace; heavenly.
Nava
Restaurant and Bar
A hip and happening spot to indulge in a few cocktails, live music and lighter bites, Nava is the Waldorf Astoria’s pool and beach club.
All villas at Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi come with a private pool and terrace, some being overwater options and others nestled right on the beach. Tall ceilings and walls of glass really help create a sense of space and light, though each is in fact already suitably large and every category enjoys a generous floorplan, no matter which you choose. The décor is a lovely blend of contemporary flurries meeting more traditional elements such as brass sink bowls and exposed beams, while in-room extras come in the form of 65-inch TVs and a sound system, indoor and outdoor showers, air-conditioning, deep-soak bathtubs, a hammock and sun loungers, one king-size or two queen beds and all other essential mod-cons.
Beach Villa with Pool
Available with a king or two-queen setup, the Beach Villa with Pool boasts a 2,518sq ft floorplan, instant beach access and a private outdoor dining pavilion.
Grand Beach Villa with Pool
Also coming either with a king-size bed or two queens, the Grand Beach Villa with Pool offers even more space with its sizeable 2,967sq ft floorplan, meaning a larger bathroom, lounge areas and terrace.
Overwater Villa with Pool
A 3,045sq ft haven of hammocks, a private infinity pool over the ocean, complete privacy and wonderful sea views.
Grand Overwater Villa with Pool
At 3,593sq ft, the Grand Overwater Villa with Pool is among the most spacious of its kind anywhere in the Maldives; a simply stunning space.

Grand Reef Villa with Pool
Similar to the other Reef Villas in terms of location, though with a much larger floorplan at 3,423sq ft and for some, enhanced sunset views too.
Two or Three-bedroom Overwater Villa with Pool
These huge villas are almost a resort destination in themselves, providing everything you’ll need for a five-star stay without leaving your front door. Floorplans range from 6,714sq ft to 11,976sq ft and include relaxation areas, multiple lounge rooms, terraces and more besides.
Two-bedroom Beach Villa with Pool
Similar to its Two-bedroom Overwater Villa equivalent in terms of size and amenities, with the main difference being a beachfront rather than overwater setting.
Two-bedroom Reef Villa with Pool
The Two-bedroom Reef Villa also enjoys nearly 6,500sq ft of space, found through the resort’s tropical gardens on the edge of the water, meaning great views from your ample outdoor space.
Stella Maris Duplex Villa with Private Pool
The 5,767sq ft, twin-level Stella Maris Duplex Villa with Private Pool is a unique standalone overwater option that comes complete with two pools, a hot tub and its own BBQ area; stunning.
Two or Three-bedroom Grand Beach Villa with Pool
With multiple bedrooms, pools, terraces, private gardens and a floorplan of over 11,000sq ft, the Two and Three-bedroom Grand Beach Villa will provide something special if travelling to the Maldives as a family.
Ithaafushi Private Island
