Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi

Our stay at Waldorf Astoria Maldives was truly one of the most incredible experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, everything felt luxurious, peaceful, and perfectly curated. The resort itself is breathtaking — the villas, the views, the service, the food, and the attention to every tiny detail were all absolutely world class. What made our stay even more special was Hajar. She was genuinely exceptional in every way — so thoughtful, kind, professional, and always making sure we were comfortable and happy. She went above and beyond throughout our stay, and her warm personality made us feel so welcomed and cared for. She truly made our experience unforgettable. A huge thank you to the entire team at Waldorf Astoria Maldives for such outstanding hospitality, and a very special thank you to Hajar for making our trip extra memorable. We cannot wait to come back again!

A bit of a late review. Went here 2 years ago and till this day it is the best vacation my wife and I have ever had. Exceptional service, our personal concierge (Shane the best) was very nice and attentive to our needs. Rooms were great and turn down service was something we still talk about to this day, room service would went to great lengths to ensure a comfortable stay. I can write for pages about the praise for this place but just go and experience and you won’t be disappointed.

Our stay at Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi was once again absolutely exceptional. This is already our 8th or 9th visit, and every time it feels like coming home. This trip was especially memorable as we came without our children, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy the peaceful beauty of the island. Everything was flawless, from the villas to the service, to the incredible attention to detail. A very special thank you to Dinara, Andy, Boos, and Mahmoud you truly make our experience unforgettable every single time. Your warmth, professionalism, and genuine care are the reason we keep coming back. Already looking forward to our next stay!

We had such an amazing stay at the Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi. From the moment we arrived, everything was just incredible. The island itself is absolutely beautiful , the water is crystal clear, the beaches are perfect, and the villas are stunning. Our villa was unbelievable. Having our own pool and waking up to that ocean view every morning was something really special. What really made the trip though was the service. Everyone was so kind and welcoming, and you can really feel how much they care about making your stay perfect. A special thank you to Sina, who was fantastic and always made sure every details was perfect. And Mubarak was honestly amazing. He made everything so easy for us and was always there whenever we needed anything. He really went above and beyond and made our stay even more special. The food was also great, so many amazing restaurants and every meal was delicious. Overall we had the best time and can’t recommend the Waldorf Astoria Maldives enough. It’s truly a special place and we can’t wait to come back.

Four years ago, we visited the Waldorf Maldives and had an absolutely wonderful stay , it was one of the best vacations we’ve ever had. The resort’s service, attention to detail, and world class hospitality made it truly unforgettable. Unfortunately, our recent experience has been the complete opposite. A shocking decline from what used to be a five-star standard. We were stunned to find out that the resort is closing during our scheduled stay in July and the worst part is that no one bothered to notify us beforehand. We only learned about it through a flyer that was posted, which is completely unacceptable for a property of this caliber. To make matters worse, the management has done nothing to assist us in rebooking at another Hilton resort, nor have they offered any viable alternatives besides asking us to “change our travel dates.” We can’t do that. Our flights are already booked and paid for! What’s even more appalling is the complete lack of communication from management. Emails and calls have gone unanswered, and there has been zero accountability or empathy toward guests who are now stranded with expensive flights and no place to stay. It’s infuriating to see how far the Waldorf Maldives has fallen from the exceptional resort we once loved. I would urge anyone considering a stay here to think twice. The management’s disregard for guests and failure to communicate or assist in these circumstances is beyond unprofessional.
