Scheduled to open in July this year, the upcoming Waldorf Astoria private island retreat is poised to become an ultra-luxurious resort situated in one of the world’s most renowned destinations for opulent getaways. Named Ithaafushi, this resort is set to welcome its first guests this summer.
Spread across three islands, Ithaafushi provides an unparalleled level of privacy and tranquility, featuring a total of 122 private luxury villas and an impressive array of 11 distinct dining venues, ensuring an unparalleled culinary experience in the Maldives.
The expansive and airy villas, complete with patios, swinging daybeds, dining gazebos, outdoor showers, infinity pools, and vibrant botanical gardens, create an enchanting environment that guarantees an unforgettable vacation experience.
The Stella Maris Ocean Villas, accessible only by boat, offer added seclusion with one-bedroom duplexes featuring chef service, alfresco barbecue areas, and hot tubs. However, Waldorf Astoria has an even more exclusive offering at Ithaafushi—an entire island available for rent. This 32,000 square feet sanctuary includes a two-bedroom villa over the water, a three-bedroom beachfront villa, a personal concierge, a dedicated chef, a private spa, five pools, and a private entertainment center for the utmost privacy.
Beyond its luxurious features, Ithaafushi offers a plethora of activities, including water sports, a PADI dive center, sailing, windsurfing, and snorkeling. Fishing enthusiasts will find options tailored to their preferences. A dedicated water park caters to younger guests, while a 130-feet beachfront oasis ensures enjoyable moments on the beach. With these exceptional offerings, it is evident that the Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi is poised to become a preferred vacation destination for many.
