Imagine waking up in your beachfront villa and driving a vintage sportscar around our sunny island’s palm-fringed paths to breakfast. Now, you can. Our newest addition to the island is a rare Ferrari Testa Rossa J — one of only 299 models in existence.
The silver automotive is a living, breathing work of art from Oxfordshire’s Hedley Studios, the makers of hand-built classic sports cars. Here on our private island, guests are invited not only to admire it, but drive it. The sportscar is ready to be driven by seekers of the exceptional.
Such an experience is reserved for guests staying on our private island, who are invited to test drive the Ferrari and may even custom-order their own, starting at USD 150,000.
Throughout the year, the Testa Rossa J will be showcased during key island celebrations and exclusive events that celebrate craftsmanship, timeless beauty, and the spirit of escape.
“At Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi, we believe in crafting experiences that awaken the senses and stir the soul,” says TJ Joulak, General Manager of the resort. “Welcoming a piece of living history like the Ferrari Testa Rossa J is not only a celebration of beauty and legacy, it’s a gift to those who appreciate the extraordinary.”
The vehicle’s all-electric drivetrain reflects our resort’s commitment to Hilton’s Travel with Purpose sustainability targets. Guests will see the Ferrari displayed during key seasonal moments and private events, enhancing the resort’s status as a sanctuary for collectors, connoisseurs, and the creatively curious.
“Our team of craftspeople spend over 300 hours hand-beating the aluminium body of the Ferrari Testa Rossa J; a demonstration of skill, precision and artistic appreciation, and to see the result of this craft placed in a location as undeniably beautiful as Ithaafushi will be an awe-inspiring experience for guests at the island,” said Ben Hedley, founder and CEO of Hedley Studios.
