ITHAAFUSHI PRIVATE ISLAND
Maldives
Just when you thought Waldorf Astoria Maldives outdid itself with 119 villas and 11 dining venues, the resort has unveiled a private island where you’ll find seclusion in spades.
Picture this: you’ll be arriving at a 32,000sqm island, the largest that the Maldives has to offer. And with a maximum of 24 guests allowed, along with just three accommodation options – a two-bedroom overwater villa, three-bedroom beach villa and a four-bedroom residence – you will see nary a soul throughout your getaway. You’ll enjoy round-the-clock private dining, customised spa therapies and watersports options (you can even moor your yacht). There’s even a 35m communal pool and a gaming centre for when you wish to enjoy time with your loved ones, without compromising privacy. Island buyouts are of course available, with rates starting from US$80,000 a night.
