20 Septrember, 2019

Crossroads Maldives, the largest integrated leisure and lifestyle destination in Maldives by Thailand’s leading real estate developer, Singha Estate Public Company Limited, has finally opened its doors on its two of the nine islands.

With tourist arrivals to the Maldives hitting the one million mark in August, the island nation is witnessing the most flourishing first six months of a year since 2001. The official launching of CROSSROADS, the largest integrated leisure and entertainment destination, is believed to be the country’s strategic attraction site that will open up a new market segment of both local and international travellers.

After two years in development, Crossroads was inaugurated at a ceremony on Thursday. Vice President Naseem congratulated Singha Estate on the visionary project and said Crossroads provices resources to better understand the Maldives: the Maldives Cultural Centre is a place to catch a glimpse of Maldives’ rich history and heritage, and promote local arts and crafts, whilst the Marine Discovery Centre will help visitors understand the environmental situation.

Expressing confidence that the project will help boost the economy, the vice president identified that it will provide several employment opportunities to the youth who are eager to unlock their potential by pursuing careers in the hospitality industry. He also expressed his hope that women would take up the employment opportunities at Crossroads.

The ceremony also celebrated the rich history and the prestigious nature of the island nation through various captivating performances including one by popular local singer Mariyam Maeesha, screening of History Channel’s short documentary, “The Making of Crossroads Maldives”, a light and sound show, and an aerial silk show.

The development of the megaproject CROSSROADS is manoeuvred by Singha Estate Public Company Limited, Thailand’s leading real estate developer. The total project value is at approximately USD 131 million; it will boast a total of 376 rooms, and provide at least 1,000 job opportunities for local islanders during Phase 1 of the project. The location at Emboodhoo Lagoon is a mere 15-minute speedboat ride from Velena International Airport and Malé capital city. Since its buoyant groundbreaking ceremony on July 2017, the project has embarked on an exciting voyage.

The first island is home to the vibrant lifestyle district and heart of the megaproject, Marina at CROSSROADS – an 11,000 sqm., retail and entertainment space. Due to its proximity to the city, the attraction serves to inspire the meeting of cultures between locals and visitors, very much the same way the country had done in the past, catering to a variety of lifestyle inclinations including luxury shopping, fine dining, a state-of-the-art event hall, and PADI-certified watersports and dive centre. A transit hotel, SAii Lagoon Maldives, a Curio Collection by Hilton, targets short-term visitors who can utilise the facilities in the town centre during their stopover for connecting flights. The sustainable development aspect of the project can be seen through the efforts made at Maldives Discovery Centre, an interactive educational-centre-cum-museum that promotes environmental conservation and Maldivian local arts and crafts. Another is Marine Discovery Centre, one of the region’s most advanced marine life laboratories, that hosts biologists who carry out research and longitudinal studies on sea-life and coral propagation through a Junior Coral Curator programme and a clownfish release initiative that span within the area of 64,000 square meters.

The second island is Hard Rock Hotel Maldives, developed and managed by S Hotels & Resorts. The hotel introduces memorable music-inspired stays featuring a full range of signature experiences and facilities for all ages. Hard Rock Hotel Maldives is also considered to be the brand’s first Maldivian outpost.
