South Malé Atoll · three-island resort
Waldorf Astoria Ithaafushi is the rare Maldives ultra-luxury that you reach by yacht — a 45-minute private cruise from Malé instead of a seaplane connection. That single difference (no afternoon-flight cut-off for arrivals) makes it a popular pick for couples landing in India in the morning. The resort spans three islands (Plus, Ithaafushi proper, and the Private Island), with 12 dining venues, an over-water villa with private pool, and a house reef that consistently ranks among the country's best for casual snorkelling. Indian travellers love the multi-restaurant set-up that includes Zuma-style Asian, French, Italian and a dedicated Indian kitchen.
