“Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi isn't just expansive; it's a masterclass in personalized luxury, where even the rain feels like a curated experience. I'm particularly struck by the dining-imagine Peking duck worthy of Beijing, enjoyed in the middle of the Indian Ocean. It's this blend of high standards and surprising details that elevates it beyond the typical Maldivian escape.”
