Dusit Hotels and Resorts,
the hotel arm of Dusit International, one of Thailand’s leading hotel and
property development companies, has signed an agreement with Pearl Atoll Pvt
Ltd to manage dusitD2 Feydhoo Maldives –
a 125-key lifestyle resort on a private island near the main island of
Malé.
Currently
under construction and slated to open in 4Q 2024, the new resort will operate
under Dusit’s upscale dusitD2 brand and will be the company’s first
‘all-inclusive’ property. In addition to spacious overwater villas and family
suites ranging from 77 – 319 sq m, the lifestyle-driven resort will boast a kids
club, multiple food and beverage outlets, a fully equipped gym, and a signature
Namm Spa offering a wide range of Thai massage therapies and beauty treatments.
Guests will find three main private beaches to relax on, plus a smaller ‘picnic
beach’ for memorable meals on the sands.
Leveraging
the resort’s proximity to Malé International Airport, which is only five
minutes away by speedboat, the resort’s developers also plan to open a
resort-based entertainment hub and small convention centre, catering to guests
beyond the core resort experience. These will be announced at a later date and
will also be managed by Dusit. Meticulous attention will be paid to ensure all
resort elements seamlessly blend with the surrounding environment. Dusit’s
group-wide sustainability programme, Tree of Life, will further solidify this
commitment by implementing processes and systems that minimise environmental
impact.

Feydhoo Maldives will be Dusit’s second resort in the Maldives. The company
also operates Dusit Thani Maldives, an award-winning luxury resort on
Mudhdhoo Island in Baa Atoll – the Maldives’ first UNESCO World Biosphere
Reserve.
“We
are delighted to be expanding our presence in the Maldives with dusitD2 Feydhoo
Maldives, our first all-inclusive resort concept,” said Mr Gilles
Cretallaz, COO, Dusit International. “The Maldives is a strategic market for
us, and this exciting addition complements our existing presence in the luxury
segment by offering a distinct lifestyle experience for families and young
couples seeking an unforgettable and accessible Maldivian escape. We are
committed to exceeding guest expectations with innovative offerings and
exceptional service, and dusitD2 Feydhoo Maldives will be a shining example of
this unwavering dedication.”
Mr
Fan Jianglin, Managing Director, Pearl Atoll Pvt Ltd, said, “We are thrilled to
partner with Dusit International to manage our first resort in the Maldives. We
were particularly drawn to Dusit’s unique brand of Thai-inspired gracious
hospitality, renowned worldwide for its warmth and attentiveness, and its
proven success in the Maldives. dusitD2 Feydhoo’s prime location near Malé
International Airport makes it incredibly convenient for guests, and we are
confident that under Dusit’s experienced guidance, the resort will be a
resounding success.”

properties operating under a total of eight brands across 18 countries
worldwide. For more information, please visit dusit.com.
