What makes Waldorf Astoria Maldives overwater villas different from other Maldives resorts?

Space defines our overwater experience. Villas range from 283 square meters to 1,113 square meters, providing room to spread out while suspended above the lagoon.

It offers additional square footage and a larger living area, perfect for couples who wish to enjoy intimate in-villa dining and long, uninterrupted days suspended over the lagoon.
