About this accommodation
Ithaafushi - The Private Island is a standalone buy-out villa estate in South Malé Atoll, operated alongside Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi and reached by a roughly 30-minute speedboat transfer from Malé International Airport. Unlike a conventional resort, the property is rented as a single private island for one group at a time, accommodating up to 24 guests across three connected residences with a combined 11 bedrooms, multiple private pools, a dedicated spa pavilion, a gym and an overwater deck. A private team including a resident manager, a chef, butlers and a water-sports instructor is assigned for the duration of each stay, and the meal plan is built around bespoke menus prepared on demand rather than a set restaurant rotation. Guests retain access to the wider Waldorf Astoria Ithaafushi resort next door, including its 11 restaurants and two bars, spa and kids club. The combination of full private-island exclusivity, a dedicated staff team and spill-over access to a large adjoining resort makes this product distinctive among Maldives villa-estate rentals and well-suited to multi-generational families and celebration groups.
