Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi
South Malé Atoll Male, Maldives
Wake up in a water villa with jaw-dropping views of the Indian Ocean, then spend days exploring far sandy corners on an Edenic atoll. That’s the offering at Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi. The unforgettable retreat spread across three islands is the region’s largest resort. With 11 restaurants, 119 villas located across water, beach and reef – each with its own butler – one of the country’s largest spas, and access to a vast rooster of activities, this high-end Malé offering is a larger-than-life fantasy made real. Fears of getting lost in the lagoon are fair: the ocean boardwalk is over two miles long. Size matters around here: the spa has a bigger-the-better mentality about its expansive treatment offering; the wine cellar groans with the weight of its bounty, and the diverse restaurant offering is a challenge to even the most gluttonous guest, although many end up returning to Terra. The exclusive treetop dining highlights the world’s finest ingredients. All rooms offer private pools, outdoor showers, king-size baths and wow-factor rustic opulence, but nothing overshadows the resort’s holy grail. Featuring two villas, five swimming pools, a private spa and an entertainment centre, the 344,445-square-foot boat-accessed private island is an adventure unto itself.
