The Maldives is home to some of the world’s most stunning islands and beaches.

Joining the already wide range of luxury properties here is the Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi, a tropical retreat of 121 oversized villas spread across no fewer than three islands in the South Malé Atoll.

Each has an infinity pool and stunning ocean views. Meanwhile, amongst their 10 dining venues, the Instagram-worthy award will surely go to their elevated treetop restaurant.

Water sports and spa treatments are set to round off your trip to paradise.

This one is opening in April. And unlike many Maldives resorts, you don’t need to take a sea plane to get there. It’s just 30 minutes from Male International Airport by yacht.
