Surrounded by the luminous blue waters of the Indian Ocean, this stunning private island abode is awash with soft white sands and is the epitome of a secluded sanctuary, enjoying the privilege of Waldorf Astoria’s hallmark hospitality.
Reserved exclusively for full-island occupancy, Ithaafushi’s accommodation is made up of three private residences: a three-bedroom beach villa, a larger four-bedroom beach residence well suited to families, and a slightly more intimate two-bedroom overwater villa, which can collectively accommodate between eighteen and twenty-four guests.
Blending contemporary design with Maldivian influence, each residence features spacious living and entertaining areas, as well as private infinity pools and direct access to the beach for the larger residences and to the lagoon for the overwater villa.
Outdoor social spaces across the island provide ample opportunity to entertain and enjoy time with guests, while various chill-out areas and beachside lounges offer different spots throughout the day to fully enjoy the island’s sheer beauty.
The island’s bespoke take on dining features private chefs on hand to curate tailored menus at any time of day, anywhere on the island. Each dish is selected according to individual guests’ culinary preferences, while additional experiences, including tasting menus and floating breakfasts, further enhance the island’s charm.
Ithaafushi also features its own fitness centre and spa, with each stay guided by a personal wellness concierge who finesses the finer details, right down to creating specialised yoga classes and targeted fitness programmes with the island’s on-site personal trainers.
