Reviews for Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi

Wow and Zuma

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 days ago

The elephant in the room with the WA is the cost. It is eye watering but I understand it is commonly full so people are willing to pay. For five days we just decided not to look at any prices and worked out that Veuve Clicquot represented better value than normal wine so just went for it. We had a beach front villa. I looked at the over-water as we were considering a return visit but felt that the beach was much nicer – more private and the joy of the beach just too much to miss. The room was stunning – very similar to the Reethi Rah where we have stayed previously. Reethi Rah did actually win as the pool ran straight on to a large part of beach which was incorporated in the room whereas here there is a mangrove ? between you which does give privacy but removes the sea view. Other villas may differ. Food was exceptional but joy of joys we did not know there was a branch of Zuma on the island – one of our favourite restaurants in London - and were fortunate enough to get a table there twice on our five night stay. Just stunning. We were told we got the extra booking as our visit fell during Ramadan so maybe book in advance if you can. This is a wonderful experience. Not sure we will return as it is an experience that comes at huge cost and with so many other wonderful Maldives to visit we will probably try to make different memories. But never say never and if you have bottomless pockets it is fabulous.

A Dream Escape

Waldorf Astoria Ithaafushi is a destination that redefines luxury and serenity. From the moment we arrived by yacht, we were completely swept away by the beauty of the island and the flawless service that followed us throughout our stay. The island itself is stunning—lush, expansive, and impeccably maintained. Whether you’re snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, cycling along the sandy paths, relaxing at the overwater spa, or simply basking under the Maldivian sun, every moment here feels special.

Well there is alot to say. This is my familys 3rd time to the WA Maldives. It is a beautiful property. Wonderful restaurants(9 of them). Zuma, The Ledge and Ambar are our favorites. Breakfast was always tasty with a wide array of options. Huge personal pools. Elegant rooms. The kids club is absolutely wonderful. The beach club is placed well. The staff there is very friendly. The yacht transfer makes for a very comfortable easy voyage to the resort. Many watersport activities. There are tennis & covered paddle ball courts as well. The gym was recently expanded and has very nice new equipment. The resort recently added subtle lighting in the trees to create a pretty fairytale look in the evening. We would like to thank everyone who made our 11 days wonderful for Us and our kids. Specifically: Miss Arati & Afnan were great from kids club. Dining: Naw & Joy & Jyoti were a delight. Hassan, Magik, Ummad were also wonderful. Roger of course we will absolutely miss as well. Lee from Zuma was such a fun waitress Nava beach club: we really enjoyed seeing Sudeep & Melody again. Both of them really made our time at the beach club that much more enjoyable. Chefs Arun & Upul from breakfast made absolutely wonderful Indian food. They are both very kind and we loved seeing Chef Aruns daily smile. We appreciate David our Butler always available to assisting us with the most complicated tasks. TJ the general manager of WA Maldives made our experience absolutely incredible. Thank you TJ for being so warm, appoachable, yet full of class. You embody the spirit of Waldorf Astoria. To sum it up. It was my wife and my birthdays and our kids spring break. It was truly legendary and I commend the whole team for a job well done. The Easter dinner was also phenomenal, with great outside talented artists performing. We have been to this island 3 times and I hope to be back again next year! Nick

Amazing Experience at Waldorf Maldives

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

Amazing Amenities and hospitality by the team at Waldorf Maldives. In particular, Mr. Yousry and Mr. Nawal made me feel very welcomed and taken care of. Both Mr. Yousry and Mr. Nawal took care of all that was asked of them swiftly and to a high standard. They conversed in a friendly manner while maintaining a professional relationship. The trip wouldn’t have been the same without them.
