Waldorf Astoria Ithaafushi
Nestled among white sands and crystal blue waters, the Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi resort is a 45-minute yacht journey from Velana International Airport. From 11 celebrated dining venues, including Michelin starred chef Dave Pynt, Zuma Maldives and Terra, the only private hand-crafted bamboo dining pods in the Maldives, a world-class spa sanctuary, the first aqua wellness centre of its kind in the Maldives, and an exclusive private island, the resort offers luxury in the traditional sense and in the form of choice and freedom for guests.
An extension of the iconic Waldorf Astoria Maldives, Ithaafushi The Private Island is as exclusive and luxurious as it gets, anywhere in the world. It enjoys the title as the largest private island in the Maldives, and every aspect of the guest experience here has been meticulously designed.
Ithaafushi accommodates 24 guests across two elegant beach and overwater villas and one four-bedroom residence. Each boasts a refined, yet modern style accented with fine art, Maldivian charm, and world-class facilities.
Guests are free to explore the island by bicycle, enjoy a wealth of marine activities, take to the island’s state-of-the-art gym under the watchful eye of their own trainer, or relax with a bespoke spa treatment. In true Maldivian style, a 24-hour personal concierge is standing by to ensure every guest’s wish is seen to with expediency, discretion, and pizazz.
Gastronomical choices are limited only by imagination and appetite, with a private chef onsite to cater to every whim and offer exclusive, special occasion culinary programmes. Not to be left out of the Waldorf Astoria world entirely, guests can also take a three-minute boat ride to indulge in the island’s dazzling array of specialty restaurants and bars which include a Michelin-acclaimed dining innovator, delicacies from the Middle East, China and Japan, champagne to accompany the best ocean view in the world.
