Rosewood has signed a resort in one of the
world’s most famous holiday and honeymoon destinations, Maldives.
Developed by Estithmar Holding and scheduled to
open in 2027, the Rosewood Ranfaru will be located in the South
Male Atoll, approximately a 35-minute yacht ride or a ten-minute
seaplane flight away from Velana International Airport (MLE).
“The Maldives has its own mystique and allure,”
said Radha Arora, President of Rosewood Hotels & Resorts. “Given
its well-earned reputation as a haven for discerning travelers, we
are very excited to bring our unique brand of Rosewood lifestyle
and hospitality to this chain of islands. We are confident that through our commitment to
immersive amenities, world-class design, and high-touch service,
Rosewood will be able to offer the next iteration of Maldivian
paradise.”
Rosewood Ranfaru will offer approximately 120
beachfront and overwater villas, ranging in size from one to
five-bedrooms, all with private pools and a select number located
on private islands.
Facilities will include several specialty
restaurants, a beach club, well-being facility and fitness center, numerous swimming pools
for both adults and families, paddle courts, an array of water
sports, and a Rosewood Explorer’s Club for the youngest visitors.
“I am delighted to announce our latest investment
in the Maldives, a destination that offers unparalleled beauty and
a vibrant culture, making it one of the most attractive tourist
spots in the world,” said Moutaz AlKhayyat, Chairman of Estithmar
Holding. “We believe that the Maldives is an ideal location
for investment and tourism, and it continues to attract visitors
and investors from around the world with its friendly atmosphere
and supportive government policies. Our new resort development
aligns perfectly with our company’s vision and growth plans, and
we are excited about the prospect of expanding our portfolio of
luxury travel destinations.”
