Fees

A mandatory Tourism Green Tax of about USD 12.00 per person, per night is charged for stays at Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi under current Maldivian regulations, and most recent guidance indicates that this environmental levy does not usually apply to children under about 2 years of age.

Room, suite and villa prices, as well as meals, beverages, spa services, transfers and most other resort services, are typically subject to a compulsory 10% service charge plus tourism Goods and Services Tax of around 16–17%, so the final amount you pay at the property will normally be higher than the base nightly rate shown before taxes and charges.

Return luxury yacht transfers between Velana International Airport and Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi are generally compulsory for overnight guests and must be arranged directly through the resort, with recent official information indicating a shared yacht transfer fee of around USD 900 per adult and about USD 450 per child aged roughly 6–11 years, before a further tax and service charge of about 28–29%, while children under about 6 years travel complimentary.

In practice, some booking partners present an illustrative all in airport shuttle fee of about USD 579 per person for a roundtrip shared yacht transfer that already includes applicable taxes and service charges, and certain promotional offers may bundle transfers into long stay or half board packages, but the resort’s own confirmation will always state the exact transfer amount and age bands that apply to your booking.

The shared yacht transfer usually operates between around 06:00 and 18:00 and normally takes about 40 minutes each way depending on conditions, and resort policy notes that waiting times at the airport may vary, often in the range of 30–60 minutes, while private yacht transfers can be arranged for an additional fixed fee per yacht per way for small groups and private arrivals.

For stays that include 24 December (Christmas Eve), Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi generally applies a compulsory festive dinner supplement, with sample 2024 contract information indicating a charge in the region of approximately USD 780 per adult and about USD 390 per child aged roughly 6–11 years, and younger children may be exempt or charged a reduced amount according to the resort’s festive brochure for the relevant season.

For stays that include 31 December (New Year’s Eve), a separate mandatory New Year’s Eve gala dinner supplement is typically charged, and recent wholesale examples show indicative pricing of around USD 1,470 per adult and about USD 735 per child aged roughly 6–11 years, while New Year’s Day brunches and other special holiday meals may also carry additional supplements on top of standard meal plans.

All figures for Green Tax, service charge, Tourism Goods and Services Tax, shared yacht transfers, private yacht transfers and festive event supplements are based on current resort and partner information and are provided as examples only, so the precise amounts, age categories and dates on your own booking confirmation and pre arrival documents from Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi should always be treated as the final version.
