A luxury private island resort Vakkaru Maldives announces the appointment of Teddy Susanto Wiryawan as its new General Manager, bringing over 20 years of distinguished luxury hospitality expertise to one of the Maldives’ most beautiful island resorts.

His career also includes leadership roles across the globe, from Thailand to the Caribbean. He has consistently driven exceptional hotel operations and enhanced guest satisfaction at each resort.

In his new role at Vakkaru Maldives, Teddy will oversee the resort’s operations, leading the team to enhance its offerings and ensure a guest experience that reflects the renowned Maldivian warmth and hospitality. With his wealth of expertise in both resort and city hotel management, Teddy is set to elevate Vakkaru’s status as a leading destination in the Maldives and beyond.

Teddy commented, “I am honoured to join the incredible team at Vakkaru Maldives. This is a truly unique destination, and I look forward to continuing its legacy of excellence by delivering unforgettable experiences to our guests and further enhancing the resort’s position as one of the world’s top luxury retreats.”
