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.

Accommodation Options

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.

Activities and Entertainment

Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi benefits from a beautiful, calm lagoon on its shores which is protected by both the island and resort villas, making it great for sea kayaking and snorkelling, though you can also parasail or explore beneath the waves with an exciting underwater scooter. Bicycles are also available for rent here at the Waldorf Ithaafushi, as well as boat trips around the islands or, why not simply kick back on a lounger to the beat of live DJ music for an easy afternoon in paradise?

Facilities

As you’d expect, Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi doesn’t leave anything to chance when it comes to onsite facilities and comforts, particularly around its heavenly spa, stylish boutique and beauty salon, relaxation areas and multiple swimming pools. Babysitters can be arranged for little ones, while older children have the Waldorf Astoria Young Discovery Park to keep them entertained, leaving adults to unwind in the spa, hit the gym, or enjoy a glass of champagne on their poolside cabana.
