In 2027 Rosewood Hotels & Resorts will enter the pristine setting of the Maldives with Rosewood Ranfaru. Stretched across a chain of private islands around a pristine lagoon in South Malé Atoll, the resort will be accessed via either a 35-minute yacht ride or a 10-minute seaplane hop. Sensitive to the Maldives’ future stance on longevity and sustainability, the property – developed by Estithmar Holding – will reflect Rosewood’s guiding A Sense of Place philosophy emphasising privacy, luxury, and a connection to the natural habitat. The resort will offer around 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.
At the heart of the property will lie several specialty restaurants, a beach club, and an Asaya well-being facility and fitness centre, offering a holistic wellness escape. A true leisure oasis, Rosewood Ranfaru will also feature numerous swimming pools, both for adults and families, paddle courts, and water sports that will allow guests to fully explore the peaceful and crystal-clear waters of the encircling lagoon. The Rosewood Explorer’s Club will spark discovery and inspire imagination among the youngest visitors. With a guiding mission to showcase the undiscovered sides of the island, the on-property team will leverage their rich understanding of the destination to create a highly curated menu of on- and off-property experiences designed to immerse guests into their surroundings.
