It is clear from the moment you arrive: a stay at the Waldorf Astoria does not just begin on the island, but on the journey there. At Malé International Airport, you are welcomed in an elegant yacht. The 45-minute journey across the turquoise waters sets the perfect scene for what follows on the island - a stay that reveals exclusivity in a completely new dimension. A key aspect that sets the resort apart from others is the personalized service. Each guest is assigned their own concierge before arrival, who organizes their stay to perfection. From booking exclusive experiences to planning private excursions, this service ensures that no wish goes unfulfilled. The resort's villas, each with a private pool and endless views of the glittering sea, have played host to stars such as Paris Hilton, Emily Ratajkowski and Shakira. Unique are the Stella Maris Ocean Villas, which are secluded on stilts in the water and can only be reached by boat. These multi-storey villas offer the ultimate in privacy. Here, indoor and outdoor areas merge seamlessly to create an extravagant retreat.

Culinary diversity at the highest level goes without saying at the Waldorf Astoria. With eleven exceptional restaurants, including the world-famous Zuma and The Ledge by Michelin-starred chef Dave Pynt, a journey through local and international gastronomy is on offer. Whether it's a dinner at Terra, where you dine high up in the treetops in bamboo nests, or a lunch at the beach restaurant Nava, the culinary delights leave nothing to be desired. At Terra, you can enjoy a seven-course menu with delicacies such as beluga caviar and wagyu beef. Now is the time to reflect on the day with a glass of champagne and a view of the glowing sunset. The resort also sets new standards when it comes to wellness. The award-winning spa is nestled in tropical gardens and offers a wide range of individually tailored treatments that go far beyond what you would expect in conventional spas. The highlight is the Starlight Ocean Massage, which takes place in an overwater pavilion by candlelight and under the twinkling stars. This unique treatment combines the natural beauty of the surroundings with deep relaxation. The Aqua Wellness Center, the first of its kind in the Maldives, offers an innovative hydrotonic experience. Various water jets in the expansive pool relieve tension while enjoying the breathtaking view of the sea.

Adventure seekers are offered a plethora of activities , from snorkeling and diving on the private reef to tennis. The breathtaking underwater world reveals the most colorful corals and exotic sea creatures. For younger guests, the Kids Concierge provides tailor-made activities, while the Stars Club offers water fun for the little ones. Club Nova has been set up for teenagers. The highlight for many guests, however, is the opportunity to enjoy private culinary experiences in unique settings. Whether it's a romantic dinner on a secluded sandbank, a movie night under the stars or a picnic on the beach. Particularly impressive is the Twilight Dinner in a pavilion floating above the water, where you dine surrounded by the gentle waves of the ocean - one of many special moments that make the Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi a magical place.
