Grand Park Kodhipparu Maldives
Just a 20-minute speedboat ride from the airport, this award-winning resort delivers a luxurious escape featuring elegant beach and overwater villas crafted by Hirsch Bedner Associates. The island is home to a rare, easily accessible house reef — simply step off the sand into a shallow lagoon and swim among flourishing coral gardens. When evening falls, savor exceptional dining above the water at FireDOOR, where marine life drifts beneath your glass floor, or unwind at the resort's award-winning overwater spa with holistic treatments perched above the ocean — all part of one of the Maldives' finest luxury retreats.
What’s Included
Every stay at Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi comes with a private pool villa featuring an outdoor deck, indoor and outdoor rain showers, a deep soaking bathtub, and a curated minibar. Guests enjoy personalized concierge service throughout their stay, along with complimentary bicycles for exploring the island and direct beach or ocean access from most villas. Access to the resort's recreational facilities — including the infinity pools, beaches, fitness center, and Stars Club for younger guests — is part of the experience, along with entertainment systems and premium bath amenities in every villa. Dining, spa treatments, water sports, diving excursions, and private experiences such as sandbank dinners are available at the resort but are typically arranged separately, so travelers should confirm exact inclusions with their travel advisor or at time of booking.
