Hilton’s luxury brand, Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts, will soon welcome guests to the heart of the South Malé Atoll with the opening of Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi.
Set to debut on 1 July, the all-villa resort spans three private islands providing an escape for travellers, complete with a range of activities for guests.
