Three islands in the South Male Atoll
Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi is a three-island resort in the South Male Atoll, with private beaches, a pavilion over the water and a beach venue for weddings of up to 150 guests.
The resort occupies Ithaafushi Island and spreads across three islands, with white sand beaches, reef and the open water of the Indian Ocean on every side. Guests reach it by a resort-arranged yacht from Velana International Airport.
Vows on the beach or over the water
A ceremony can take place on a private beach of the couple's choice, on Nava Beach, or in a wedding pavilion above the lagoon. A wedding concierge oversees the details, and a decorated buggy carries the couple across the island on the day.
