About Waldorf Astoria Ithaafushi water aerodrome
Waldorf Astoria Ithaafushi Seaplane Base (VR-ITH) serves Waldorf Astoria Ithaafushi on Ithaafushi in Kaafu Atoll. It lies about 26 km (14 nm) from Malé, roughly 20 minutes by seaplane. It is also known as Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi.
Like all water aerodromes in the Maldives, operations are daytime VFR only, and conditions on the water — wind, sea state, and tide — decide whether a departure or arrival is comfortable, marginal, or off. Seavion tracks wind and sea state live, refreshed every 15 minutes from MMS, METAR, and marine forecast sources, with modelled tide levels alongside.
Seaplane travel here follows the Maldives' two monsoon seasons. The northeast monsoon (iruvai, roughly December to April) generally brings drier, calmer weather, while the southwest monsoon (hulhangu, roughly May to November) tends to be wetter with stronger winds. Conditions vary day to day.
