The debut Maldivian property of Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, Rosewood Ranfaru is scheduled to open in 2027.
According to Rosewood, their latest resort project will reflect the hotelier’s guiding A Sense of Place philosophy “through a highly curated experience that emphasizes privacy, luxury, and a connection to the natural habitat.”
Rosewood Ranfaru is situated less than an hour away from Velana International Airport (VIA). Guests will be able to make the journey to the resort via either a 35-minute yacht ride or a ten-minute seaplane trip.
Developed by Estithmar Holding, the project represents the “next generation of Maldives tourism.”
Speaking about the project, Radha Arora, the President of Rosewood Hotels & Resorts said, “Given its well-earned reputation as a haven for discerning travelers, we are excited to bring our unique brand of 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.”
The luxury property will offer around 120 beachfront and overwater villas, ranging in size from one to five bedrooms, all with private pools and a select number of villas located on private islands. Other facilities include Rosewood Explorer’s Club, Asaya well-being facility and fitness center, and several specialty restaurants.
“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 Al-Khayyat, the 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.”
