Slated for a 2025 opening, luxury hotel brand Corinthia will debut in the Maldives. Development of the resort located on the Kaafu Atoll is already underway with Maarah Pvt Ltd, a Maldivian entity at its helm. The hotel will comprise two islands hosting a 73-key resort on the larger of the two and a second, smaller private island for exclusive use. Corinthia Maldives will feature aquatic-inspired architecture designed by HKS. The main pavilion and all villas are taking on forms and shapes that take inspiration from the gentle curves of the ocean’s Manta Ray.
The resort will also include state-of-the-art wellness facilities, multiple fitness spaces, and a choice of five restaurants operated with internationally renowned brands. “We are excited about this milestone Maldivian luxury resort development, which is located only 15 minutes from Malé International Airport, and which will provide long-term local employment opportunities whilst contributing towards the growing destination tourism economy of the Maldives,” says René Beil, Managing Director, Maarah Holdings and Maarah Pvt Ltd.
