About Waldorf

Waldorf Astoria Ithaafushi.

Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi has the highest search volume from GCC markets of any resort in the Maldives. Two reasons: the speedboat access, which removes the seaplane transfer that some clients prefer to avoid, and Zuma restaurant, the single most recognisable dining brand from the UAE market operating in the Maldives. The resort spans three islands with 119 villas. Eleven restaurants. A vast spa. A dedicated private island for exclusive use. Some of the most spacious overwater residences in the Maldives.
