Across the resort, 119 tastefully designed villas, each with a private pool and spacious indoor-outdoor living spaces, effortlessly evoke the island’s natural beauty and are situated shoreside on the beach, above the reef or overwater.

Thoughtfully designed, the villas are luxuriously decorated, with touches such as glass-floor panels, outdoor daybeds, and hammocks. Larger villas span two or three bedrooms and are well-suited to families.

For the ultimate seclusion and unrivalled luxury, the resort’s private island offers a magnificent stay in the privacy of one’s own island escape. Spanning a generous 32,000 square metres, the exclusive enclave accommodates up to 24 guests and comprises two-, three- and four-bedroom residences, each with private pools and the added benefit of a personal concierge, chefs and tailored services.

The Waldorf Astoria Maldives’ exceptional dining experiences are a celebration of fine dining and immersive cuisine with 11 unique restaurants and bars dotted across the island serving flavours from around the world.

Highlights include Terra for treetop dining under the stars, The Ledge by Dave Pynt, renowned for its Michelin-inspired barbecue flavours and the first Maldivian outpost of Japanese favourite, Zuma.

Wellness is also championed at the resort with The Waldorf Astoria Spa and Aqua Wellness Centre taking centre stage as a hub for deep renewal and well-being. Personalised therapies and rituals use Himalayan stone therapy and advanced hydrotherapy techniques to recalibrate body and mind for a de-stressing detox from the stresses of daily life.
