Crown & Champa Resort Collection Newsletter

24 July, 2021

The naturally beautiful and conveniently safe holiday destination, the Maldives is a warm, turquoise water close enough to feel accessible, distant and dreamy enough to feel like a true escape. It's the ideal place to dip a toe back into global travel.

But the bigger question—where?—has one answer that’s even more compelling than you may realize: the getaway that checks the bucket-list boxes is Crown & Champa Resorts Collection.

With worldwide vaccination programs picking up pace, international borders reopening, and confidence in travel growing, we are delighted to see more guests arriving and making reservations for future stays.

The resorts are bringing back more team members, re-energized from their own holidays to be ready to receive your next Maldives holiday on the private islands.

We have noticed our underwater locals have also started to make an earlier than expected return in their seasonal migrations and sightings. As seen on Crown & Champa resorts' social media channels, the dolphin and turtle encounters have increased, thrilling dive enthusiasts and inspiring more guests of all ages to opt for dive courses across the collection.

The properties in the Lhaviyani Atoll, Kudadoo Maldives Private Island, Hurawalhi Island Resort, the true adults-only (+18 years) Komandoo Island Resort & Spa, Kuredu Island Resort & Spa, and Innahura Maldives Resort have spotted Manta Rays in prequels to the September to March's Manta season.

Undeniably, Lhaviyani, indeed, is a turtle hotspot and every diver's paradise. A few weeks back, snorkellers were fortunate to experience an up-close oceanic life encounter with a rare whale shark sighting near Innahura.

The cluster properties in Lhaviyani Atoll celebrated Shark Week from 11-18 July 2021 with awareness-raising sessions and shark spotting dives with Prodivers Maldives, our dive partner for Lhaviyani.

The collection's other top dive resort in the South Ari Atoll, Vilamendhoo Island Resort & Spa, is recommended for guests interested in encountering the elusive whale sharks year-round.

The romantic Veligandu Island Resort & Spa, situated in the North Ari Atoll, is famed for its two vivid house reefs.

Kagi Maldives Spa Island, encircled by a vibrant reef, saw their second hatching of sea turtles last week and will welcome another batch of baby turtles between the end of July and early August.

Meeru Island Resort & Spa, conveniently located near the airport, has a live underwater camera set in its coral garden that gives a glimpse and educates guests of the beautiful yet fragile marine creatures - the corals.

July is also an exciting month for the cultural traveller. Eid-Al-Adha and the Maldives Independence Day celebrations on July 26, 2021, will have the resorts presenting cultural shows and experiences to commemorate these occasions.

Across our resort collection in the Maldives, travellers will have endless opportunities for once-in-a-lifetime destination dining experiences

Kudadoo has partnered with the leading private aviation provider, XO , to offer discerning travellers exclusive private jet experiences.

To help guests plan their last-minute travel, the resorts have a selection of special offers and family-friendly deals available to be booked direct, via online travel agencies, or through their preferred travel partners.

The properties are planning the festive season and NYE to celebrate the end of an unusual 2021 on a positive note, hoping to finally welcome guests who had to reschedule their Maldives holidays multiple times this year.

As part of the Maldives’ extensive vaccination drive against COVID-19, Crown & Champa Resorts, in partnership with the Maldives Ministry of Health, has accomplished vaccination among its resort teams with the recommended dosage. It is part of the group’s strong commitment to safeguard team members and visiting guests.

We hope to see more of you, your friends, and your loved ones visiting the Maldives soon - and when you do, our resort teams await to make it an incredible and safe stay with the Crown & Champa Resorts Collection.
