Welcome to the epitome of Maldivian luxury—Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi, a world-class resort where refined elegance meets tropical paradise. Nestled in the heart of the South Malé Atoll and just a 40-minute yacht ride from Velana International Airport, this ultra-premium escape redefines the meaning of exclusivity and barefoot luxury.
A Private Island Dream
Spanning three private islands, Waldorf Astoria Maldives offers 119 beach, reef, and overwater villas, each designed to provide maximum privacy and serenity. From sunrise views over crystal-clear waters to direct lagoon access and private infinity pools, each villa is a sanctuary of sophisticated comfort. Whether you’re on a romantic escape or a family getaway, the resort’s residences offer unmatched space, personalized service, and immersive experiences.
Gourmet Dining Across 11 Venues
Culinary indulgence takes center stage with 11 specialty dining venues, each offering global flavors curated by award-winning chefs. From the treetop setting of Terra, where you dine in bamboo pods under the stars, to the modern Middle Eastern elegance of Yasmeen, the options are as diverse as they are luxurious. For a true highlight, enjoy personalized dining experiences set up on the beach or in-villa.

The Private Island: Ithaafushi – The Private Island
For those seeking ultimate seclusion, Ithaafushi – The Private Island is a resort-within-a-resort experience. Accessible only by private yacht, this exclusive 32,000-square-meter paradise offers a private spa, five-bedroom residence, dedicated chef, and an entire staff to meet your every need—perfect for royalty, celebrities, or those who simply demand the best.
Wellness and Rejuvenation
At the heart of the resort is the Waldorf Astoria Spa, an oasis of calm with 10 treatment villas floating above the water. Inspired by nature and ancient healing practices, each treatment is tailored to your personal needs, blending modern techniques with natural products. Guests can also enjoy a fully equipped fitness center, yoga pavilion, aqua wellness center, and more.
Endless Experiences, Above and Below the Sea
Explore the turquoise waters with a wide range of water sports, diving, and yacht excursions, or unwind with curated cultural experiences and sunset cruises. Families are warmly welcomed with the Stars Club for kids and Club Nova for teens, offering engaging, age-appropriate activities.

Sustainability in Paradise
Waldorf Astoria Maldives is also committed to sustainability, with initiatives that include coral planting, eco-conscious architecture, and locally sourced ingredients. This forward-thinking approach ensures that the natural beauty of the Maldives is preserved for generations to come.
