Hyatt Expands Maldives Portfolio with Hyatt Regency Samarafushi Maldives to opening in 2027

26 September, 2024

Hyatt Hotels Corporation has announced that a Hyatt affiliate has entered into a management agreement with SingHaiyi for Hyatt Regency Samarafushi Maldives. Located in North Male Atoll, Hyatt Regency Samarafushi Maldives will mark Hyatt Regency’s brand entry into the Maldive Islands. Slated to open in late 2027, the new all-villa resort will join Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa and Alila Kothaifaru Maldives as the third Hyatt property in the Republic of Maldives.

Located only 25 minutes away from Valena International Airport in Malé by speedboat, the resort’s prime location is expected to be a large draw for sun-seekers, culture lovers and marine enthusiasts. North Male Atoll is close to the capital and known for its proximity to popular diving and snorkeling sites where manta rays and hawksbill turtles are frequently spotted. Prime surfing destinations like Pasta Point and Sultans will also be seamlessly accessible from the resort.

Set across 24 acres of land, the resort will feature 130 beachfront, treetop, and overwater villas, all with a private pool. The architectural design by Park + Associates intersects traditional Maldivian architecture with a light and natural palette. There will be a variety of culinary experiences on offer, including a sunset bar, a beach club, a Japanese specialty restaurant, and an all-day-dining concept.

World of Hyatt Globalists and guests who book villas with club access can also unwind with complimentary refreshments in the signature Regency Club lounge. A dedicated kid’s club, a marine and diving center, a fitness pavilion, a yoga deck, and a spa with eight dedicated treatment rooms will cater to guests of all ages and interests.

“The Hyatt Regency brand is rooted in a culture of bringing people together and fostering a spirit of community. For more than 55 years, it has inspired Hyatt guests to seek personal connections and professional collaborations in more than 40 countries around the globe,” said David Udell, group president, Asia Pacific, Hyatt. “We’re thrilled to collaborate with SingHaiyi to invite travelers to open their minds and hearts to new perspectives and experiences in the Maldives, one of world’s most desirable resort destinations.”

“With plans to be SingHaiyi Hospitality’s second property in the Maldives, Hyatt Regency Samarafushi Maldives will enhance our strategic presence in the destination,” said Gallant Tang, executive director of SingHaiyi.
