Reviewed Aug 30, 2026Prachtig resort, mooie villas super onderhouden allemaal.
Goede restaurants en zeer vriendelijk personeel. Zeker de shuttle met prive yacht is echt de puntjes op de i.
Geef het resort een 10
Vind het raar dat je op social media alleen maar andere oorden ziet maar dat is denk ik toch andere doelgroep.
Dit is echt wel high end.
Ik vond de restaurants wel erg prijzig en ik woon in Dubai dus ben echt wel wat gewend maar dit was wel beetje te gek. 100$ voor een hamburger 81$ pakje cigaretten ik bedoel je kan het ook overdrijven.
Doet wel een beetje aan de ervaring af maar verder top zeker een aanrader.

Reviewed Jun 16, 2026The best staff hospitality in the world! Everyone was friendly, polite and helpful. Our concierge Navas was like a dream-come-true personal helper. Our room was always kept clean and tidied. On my husband’s birthday, we had a beautiful and creative art piece done by leaves on our bed. On top of that, celebration after celebration at all our dining venues throughout the day.
Nothing at all.

Reviewed Jun 1, 2026Love the butler service, the staff level of service from room cleaning to f&b. Terra and Zuma restaurants were absolutely delightful and tasteful experiences.
Kids club could be improved… our daughter was not keen on going again the next day. This is the only weakness of the resort. The rest was top notch!

Reviewed Jun 24, 2025Very clean and professionally run. Beautiful set up and well
Maintained and definitely a five star setting
It is very very expensive and sometimes the basic stuff is overpriced. Also sometimes the wait for buggies took longer than we would have liked it. 10/10 resort but loses a couple of points based on buggy’s and cost

I don’t have anything to say about what I don’t like but if I HAD to find something to say, breakfast had loads of options but most foods either wasn’t as tasty, was dry, or hard.

Reviewed Feb 24, 2024Over water villa room was spacious with nice private pool, but the sewage system underneath the toilet was so poor that we had poo smell in the bathroom since day 1 to day 4, and resort didn't offer any room change.
Handheld shower head quality was quite poor and water doesn't come out evenly. Before you use outdoor shower, suggest to turn on the water and run it for at least 1 full minute, because I nearly had brown colour water pouring over me, which was absolutely disgusting.
The water sports centre staffs were very friendly and helpful, we've had a great time jet skiing and wake surfing. These water sports activities is probably the best things to do in this resort.
If you have a late flight on the day you checkout, don't expect this resort will give you a late checkout even if the resort is not full. Our flight was 11:40pm and the personal butler said she will let us know if can late checkout a night before, when she told us the bad news due to full capacity and nothing can be offered, we found there are same room (and more room types) still available, when we showed the availabilities to hotel staffs, the wording changed to due to "high" capacity, late checkout is not allowed. We have stayed in a number of different resorts in Maldives, this was the only resort that shows unwilling attitude to cater the guest who have spent additional USD10k on dining and activities. We will never come back to Waldorf Astoria again.
We went to Four Seasons to stay half day in the end.

Reviewed Dec 1, 2023Service was impeccable and always with a smile. Staff were superb. Overwater villa was large with great amenities and facilities. View was great. Sea life was great. Food was very good. Housekeeping and restocking twice daily was always very thorough.
Typical of many Maldives locations, but especially of top brand resorts, things could be a little pricey but you just have to factor that into your trip and enjoy the fabulous resort.

Reviewed Jul 19, 2023Friendly staff, luxury villa
Main dining restaurant was not as good as I expected
Lets start with the luxurious mode of transport, the yacht was a breath of fresh air and a relief from having to deal with seaplanes.
The interior of the room was beautiful and the hotel in general was a 10/10 design wise.
Terra, Amber, & Zuma were amazing great ambience & design.
The staff were exceptional, smiles everywhere and very professional, Fanni was our personal concierge and went above and beyond to provide us with whatever we may need. She also surprises us by asking the waiters at Zuma to arrange a birthday dessert for my friend which was so sweet, as well as providing us with a beach villa to relax in before leaving the island in the evening after checking out from our overwater villa.
Afrah, apparently a bellboy .. someone I found online while searching for videos of the resort on Snapchat encouraged me to come stating I shouldn’t believe the weather forecast, lol. He deserves to be the resort ambassador lol, if it wasn’t for his coverage and videos I wouldn’t have confirmed my booking.
I was surprised to find out the island is man made.
So if your used to sandy Maldivian beaches, clear blue water, and lush jungles this isn’t the place to book. Went for a dip by our water villa and was surprised to see lots and lots of tiny rocks and dead plants floating in the sea, not something I’m used in the Maldives. Even walking on the beach is not up to expectations, I saw plastic bags filled with something under the sand supporting the sand might be part of the man made issue.
Every evening they spray bug spray before sunset, so forget about that fresh plant smell, you smell pesticides instead.
They brag about having 11 restaurants but not all are open daily, and you only have one option that’s open for lunch, also no shows or dancers or any entertainment at night we felt pretty bored in the evenings, they kept stating it happened on Friday every time I asked them about something.
All in all, visually appealing hotel, great staff… but with the things I stated above … not worth the price nor deserving of a 9.8 rating !

Reviewed Jan 16, 2023Every aspect was absolutely amazing, from the service to the whole experience itself, all well considered and worth the money. All of the staff members were extremely genuine and considerate of visitor’s comfort and the breakfast had a great variety with delicious pastries. The experience of riding bikes across the island and swimming in the private pool (which was beautiful, right outside was the ocean) is a memory we will never forget. Just like a dream. Overall, would come again!

- great breakfast
if you have half bord you get a 100 USD credit for the dinner. Minus tax you have at the end only 80 USD per person.
But if the food cost 300 USD then you will pay ALWAYS much more than your credit is. Beverages are also not included in this 80 USD. Normal (not special) food is also too expensive.
At the end the Price-performance ratio for food is not good.

We have stayed in many top Maldives hotels before and I would, having compared them, would rate the WA very highly.
We even got to see a dolphin right outside our villa at sunset!
Beautiful island, fantastic food, and (very important for me) no show - offs like in the “famous” One and Only which was such a headache.
We are definitely coming back!
Thank you Waldorf Astoria for our delightful stay!

Reviewed Apr 13, 2021What an amazing stay at Waldorf Astoria. Villas were modern and spacious, always cleaned twice a day and the whole resort was spotless. From our arrival we felt the staff was very friendly and helpful with everything. We really enjoyed all their restaurants especially Chinese Li Long. We had very high expectations for this resort as we come to Maldives every year and already tried top resorts and must say Waldorf exceeded all expectations. So well organised, luxurious, and a true 5 star service we liked it so much there that we prolonged our stay to another week. Thanks to amazing team, for making our stay special.

Reviewed Aug 16, 2019The guest villas are the most luxurious we have ever experienced! Overall food quality and choice was excellent but the decor and ambience of Terra, Yasmeen and Li Long needs to be addressed.
Fantastisk service, renhold og lokasjon, men ekstremt dyrt. Fullt monopol når det ikke finnes andre hotell på stedet, så prisene var overrasket dyre. Brukte gjennomsnittlig 1200 USD per dag for lunch og middag som ikke var inkludert for 2 voksne og 1 barn, da med 1 flaske vin til middag.
