Inside Waldorf Astoria’s private-island resort in the Maldives


Luxury now has a new home at Waldorf Astoria’s all-new private resort in the Maldives. Called the Waldorf Astoria Ithaafushi, the exclusive property spans a light of three islands and is a mere 30-minute yacht ride from the airport.


Built as the ultimate holiday destination, the plush resort is a foodie’s paradise with 11 distinctive dining venues to choose from. Guests can enjoy Middle Eastern flatbreads and mezzes at Yasmeen; delectable Chinese cuisine at Li Long; healthy feasts using the freshest ingredients from the property’s herb garden at Glow; or dine at a barbecue grill restaurant by Dave Pynt, of Michelin-starred Burt Ends fame.

Those craving a slightly more intimate experience can opt for the ultra-romantic Terra – a treetop concept where one can dine in a private den while experiencing incredible views of the ocean.

Apart from the gastronomic fare, the resort houses 122 luxurious villas, each being 2,500 square feet and accommodating a patio furnished with a swinging daybed, a dining gazebo, an outdoor shower and an infinity pool with an in-water lounge.
