Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi is in the South Male Atoll and arrives by yacht from the airport, so there is no seaplane to wait for. Its 117 reef, beach and overwater villas spread across three connected islands, and every one has its own pool.

Its rarest stay is Ithaafushi: The Private Island, a separate island that can be booked in full by one group, with its own villas, pools and staff.

The villas are big. The Three Bedroom Overwater Villa with Pool covers 1,113 square metres, and the Three Bedroom Grand Beach Villa with Pool 1,023. Even the two bedroom villas are over 600 square metres.

There are ten restaurants and bars, a spa built over the shoreline, a beach club with water sports and activities for every age, which makes it a good choice for families and longer stays.
