Luxurious Experience Amplified: Guests at Waldorf Astoria Maldives now offered exclusive Ferrari drive
The Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi, a renowned luxury destination in the Maldives, has recently unveiled an awe-inspiring addition to its offerings - a scaled-down, all-electric replica of Ferrari's iconic 1957 Le Mans-winning 250 Testa Rossa, known as the Ferrari Testa Rossa J.
This unique collaboration with Oxfordshire-based Hedley Studios, a specialist in hand-built classic sports cars, elevates the resort's luxury appeal and sets it apart as a must-visit destination for collectors and connoisseurs.
The Ferrari Testa Rossa J, one of only 299 models in existence, is not meant for transportation around the island but serves as a stunning display piece. Guests can enjoy a test drive along the island's palm-fringed paths, and for those who wish to own a piece of this automotive art, the option to commission a personal model is available, starting at $150,000.
The Ferrari Testa Rossa J will be showcased during seasonal celebrations and exclusive events, such as "The Ultimate Island Experience" and "Festive Gifting" programs. The silver Ferrari Testa Rossa J, featuring 'pontoon fenders', will be a prominent feature at these events.
The all-electric drivetrain of the Ferrari Testa Rossa J aligns with Hilton's Travel with Purpose sustainability initiative, a commitment to environmental responsibility that extends to the resort's marine conservation collaborations with Parley for the Oceans and a resident marine biologist.
Ben Hedley, founder and CEO of Hedley Studios, shares that the team of craftspeople spend over 300 hours hand-beating the aluminium body of the Ferrari Testa Rossa J, ensuring the precision and attention to detail that is synonymous with the Ferrari brand.
This collaboration between Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi and Hedley Studios offers a unique blend of luxury, craftsmanship, and sustainability, making it a standout experience for guests at the resort. The Ferrari Testa Rossa J's presence at the Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi underscores the resort's commitment to providing unforgettable, high-end experiences while maintaining its focus on sustainability.
