Maldives · Ithaafushi Island, South Malé Atoll
A Waldorf Astoria private island in the South Malé Atoll, 20 overwater, reef and beach villas around 10 restaurants.
Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi sits on its own island in the South Malé Atoll, in Kaafu Atoll. The resort is built as 3 settings rather than one: villas over the lagoon, villas over the reef, and villas on the beach, 20 grades in all, and every one of them carries a pool of its own.
Overwater, reef or beach is the first decision. King Overwater Villa with Pool, King Reef Villa with Pool and King Beach Villa with Pool run 283, 279 and 234 square metres, and each also sells with 2 queen beds instead of the king, at 7 to 14 more square metres on every pair. The Grand tier above each one adds 40 to 51 square metres. The 2-bedroom villas follow in every setting; the 3-bedroom tier is Overwater and Grand Beach only. Between them they run 599 to 1,113 square metres, for a family sharing one booking. Stella Maris Ocean Villa with Pool stands apart from the pairs, 536 square metres over the water with its own whirlpool. Ithaafushi Private Island is the largest thing here by far: 9 bedrooms and 5 pools, booked as one island rather than one villa. Every one of the 20 is built around the same idea: a pool that is yours alone, over the lagoon, over the reef, or on the sand.
Stella Maris Ocean Villa with Pool names its own chef service and a BBQ station on the deck. Ithaafushi Private Island goes further again, with its own entertainment clubhouse, a tennis court and a padel court kept for whoever has taken the island.
Limestone from Jordan, wine from everywhere
By arrangement — wine dinners for 12 guests.By reservation
Waldorf Astoria's wine cellar, New World and Old World both, built around a 200-year-old Jarrah wood table in a cave-like room of Jordanian limestone. Wine dinners are seated at 12, with a food-and-wine pairing menu built around a single wine region.
Wine, tapas, and a view of the sea
Day and night, with live music.Walk in
A lounge over the ocean with live music and barrel-aged signature cocktails, wine and tapas, kept going through the day and into the evening.
The first decision is where the villa stands.
King Overwater Villa with Pool, King Reef Villa with Pool and King Beach Villa with Pool are 283, 279 and 234 square metres, each with a pool of its own, and the Grand tier above each one adds 40 to 51 square metres and, on the Reef villas, a sunrise rather than a sunset.
6 pairs in the ladder share a name and a setting but not a size.
Two Queen Bedded Overwater Villa with Pool is 293 square metres against King Overwater Villa with Pool's 283; Two Queen Bedded Grand Reef Villa with Pool is 333 against King Grand Reef Villa with Pool's 319. Two queens buy 7 to 14 more square metres on every pair, not only a different bed.
Two Bedroom Overwater Villa with Pool, Two Bedroom Reef Villa with Pool, Two Bedroom Beach Villa with Pool and Two Bedroom Grand Beach Villa with Pool run 599 to 626 square metres and take 4 or 5 adults with 2 children in one booking.
Three Bedroom Overwater Villa with Pool and Three Bedroom Grand Beach Villa with Pool go further, 1,113 and 1,023 square metres, 2 pools each, for 6 adults and 3 children.
Stella Maris Ocean Villa with Pool is 536 square metres over the water, with its own whirlpool, sun lounges and a chef's own barbecue station on the deck. It has no king-or-queen twin the way the other overwater grades do.
Ithaafushi Private Island is 9 bedrooms, 5 pools and its own clubhouse, tennis court and padel court, taken as one booking for up to 15 guests rather than as a single villa among the other 19.
