Snorkeling

Snorkeling is a joyful experience for all ages at Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi. Families can explore calm lagoons, spot clownfish among coral, or join guided house reef adventures. With gentle instruction, expert care, and stunning marine life, even first-time snorkelers can share in the magic beneath the surface.

Waterpark

Young guests can enjoy sun-soaked play at The Stars Club’s very own waterpark, featuring an AquaPlay structure and Splash Pad. It’s a safe, joyful space for exploration, energy, and laughter — giving parents time to unwind while children make memories through movement, water, and discovery.
