A beautiful, A’ Class resort with excellent service and friendly staff making your stay more memorable. Ideal for families and a great chance for children meeting and playing with families from other parts of the world. The rooms are spacious with a delicate smell of diptyque. The restaurants are all of excellent tastes. Spa brilliant especially facial therapies and strong massage pressure.

Let me just say that Waldorf was the highlight of my Maldives trip. After staying at the Conrad, this luxurious resort lived up to its name. I am already planning my next trip to come back to the Waldorf. My butler Boos was exceptional along with each and every single staff member here. Even had a manager come up to us and buy us a round of drinks. We always had a staff member or manager come up to us to see how everything was. The food here is incredible. The breakfast selection literally was unbelievable. I had dinner at Li Long twice because it tasted like true Chinese flavors. The Peking duck was 10/10. The attention to detail here legit blew me away. One of the days, I went swimming with my partner and I. There was no one at the pool and no staff in sight. After getting out of the pool, I realized the staff had brought over a pitcher of ice cold water & juice. We had not asked for it. This is how I know Waldorf values customer service. Waldorf is definitely more expensive than the other resorts but I think you pay for what you get. We stayed in the king oversized reef villa and my mouth dropped when I realized how big the room and the pool was. Whenever I needed a buggy, my butler showed up to pick us up and drop us off. He answered all of my questions. He made all the reservations for us and even squeezed us in for a time slot that wasn't available. I was here celebrating my birthday and they went above and beyond to celebrate with me. My butler also told us we wouldn't have to worry about filling out the travel form to leave Maldives, because he would do it for us. I was so shocked because at the Conrad, my butler told me to do it myself. I can go on and on about the level of service here but I will let you experience that yourself. The resort and pool area is beautiful. I do wish they had more snorkel areas but if you're here to relax, you have everything you need. Because you are closer to Male, you will see more boats traveling past your villas. The $70 oyster and caviar martini at Terra was not good at all. It tasted like watered down vodka. Definitely skip on that. Although It was super disappointing that we really wanted to try Zuma here. We made reservations for dinner and they told us they aren't opening that night because there wasn't enough reservations. I wish they compensated us with something else. Overall I recommend the Waldorf and would be planning to return.

From the time you arrive at the airport to the time you leave, the resort takes care of your every need and anticipates your requests before you even make them. Every meal was incredible, the staff is incredibly warm and genuine, and the facilities are exquisite.

I felt compelled to sign up tripadvisor just to leave my personal first negative review on a hotel property. My son has left the negative review previously, but since it was two reservation I feel the need to left one as well. Being our40 anniversary, being a diamond member we have made sure to celebrate along with my sons 40 birthday all together at Waldorf, and we even booked a year out eager to enjoy our celebration there. We have arrived couple days early and stayed at the Hilton before departure to Waldorf, in middle of the night , were told that Waldorf have booted us out, and were told Conrad is option with welcome back voucher. But due to the fact we have visited Conrad years ago, it did not budge us as we want a luxyr stay with special ocasion, we asked for the alternative. Now being in our late 60s we'd rather somewhere closer but given no choice but go with other property they have as sole option ( we did ask and list them other up par luxury property at least same tier or better comparing WA but was declined ) Eventually they putted us 40 mintes away seaplane transfer given we're in our late 60s , and completely out of date and far less up to par tier property. No wlecomeback to WA voucher was offered with this. The whole experience was unacceptable given my wife and i and son and daughter in law were all diamond members. Lastly the situation was far terrible with their room manamgement due to the fact we were up till 2 am the day of arrival to figoure where to place us , and manager on duty was far less pro actively working with us as we have to make serveral calls ourself at our roaming expense out of our pocket in Maldive. This is utter most horrible of all the luxury hotels we have experienced. There was no follow up from WA the whole incidence after placing us to far less luxury tier stay. I have reported to Hilton Honor

My wife and I came here during April to celebrate our honeymoon, and our only qualm is that we eventually had to leave! From the moment you touch down in Malé, the first thing you'll notice is the quality of service. There's a genuine desire to making your stay as enjoyable as possible, and it's present from start to finish. When you first arrive at the property, it's impossible not to take in the beautiful surroundings; and although largely manmade, the natural beauty shines through. We originally booked the King Reef Villa, but were upgraded to King Overwater Villa, which was an absolute treat. The room itself is massive, with a sprawling, vaulted ceiling highlighted by modern fixtures and furnishings with an overall cozy vibe. The exterior is seemingly equal to, if not bigger, in size with countless places to sit and relax. As cliche as it sounds, pictures really cannot do it justice. The two stars of our stay were our personal concierge, Saddam, and our room attendant, Dhiras. Both worked tirelessly to make sure our every need was met and even then went above and beyond our expectations. Saddam was our initial contact and gave us a tour of the property and our room. He helped us make dinner reservations, schedule beach activities, and everything in between. At least once a day he would track us down, whether at breakfast or dinner, and check in to ensure everything was going well. He was an absolute delight to have as our personal concierge and you'd be very lucky to have him. Dhiras was essentially the caretaker of our room he put every hotel cleaning service we had in the past to shame. From the first day, we could tell he genuinely wanted us to have as happy and memorable a stay as possible. When we first arrived, he had arranged our bed to say "Happy Honeymoon". He would clean our room twice daily, provide us with treats, and make animals out of towels. He enjoyed providing surprises for us as well. For example, when we came inside from the pool, we discovered a bubble bath waiting for us. The guy is simply a treasure and we cannot say enough good things about him. Long story short, WA Ithaafushi is a world-class property with equally world-class service. It simply does not get better than this, and with that said we cannot wait to return. This is far from a value destination, but it feels worth every single penny.
