A Whole New World to Explore, Starting This August
Wednesday 12th of May 2021
The Maldives does not need any further introduction about how captivating a destination it can be both above and below the azure waters of the Indian Ocean. In its secluded pocket of Lhaviyani Atoll, the island of Thilaamaafushi will debut to the world as Le Méridien Maldives Resort & Spa this August.
The long-awaited coming of Le Méridien to the Maldives marks nine hectors of European-inspired finesse taking over the already luxurious Maldives as a holiday destination and welcoming creative-minded travellers to experience chic island living. Le Méridien Maldives Resort & Spa will be an eco-conscious haven with 154-villas for unbound privacy, sublime natural beauty at every direction and abundant with indigenous flora and fauna, enveloped by a shimmering lagoon and coral reefs bursting with vibrant marine life.
Guests will arrive on the island via the 35-minute scenic seaplane route and step directly into a glamorous getaway with notes of nostalgia. Far from their daily routine, every aspect of the Paris-born brand’s mid-century design aesthetic and European heritage inspired by the era of glamorous travel will inspire a refreshing breath of salty, tropical air rejuvenating their every sense.
Presented beautifully through a Maldivian lens, the design cues contrast the equatorial hues of endless sunlight in the horizon, shimmering lagoon of Maldivian blues and fringing palms swaying on the pristine white sand beach. Le Méridien Maldives Resort & Spa unlocks the charm of the Maldives in style, celebrating authentic experiences of the iconic destination through the distinct European spirit of savouring the good life. At Le Méridien Maldives Resort & Spa, guests can feel free to indulge in the simple pleasures of life – where wandering sans agenda and lingering longer is encouraged.
The timeless formation of Maldivian archipelago fuses with the chic design of the resort, emulating the Atoll’s unique topography, its bordering reefs, coral gardens, marine life and underwater pinnacles known as “Thilas”. The country’s distinct culture and vibrant landscape reflects in every interior and exterior detail, blended in with mid-century modern and Bauhaus aesthetics to present a resort that sits in harmony with the natural environment.
Tasteful as is, the majestic one- and two-bedroom villas evoke the concept of art and industrial design with clean lines, a muted color palette and a juxtaposition of renewable materials that fosters simplicity, openness and functionality. They can be found tucked in the tropical landscape or dotted over the Indian Ocean, featuring unparalleled views in the horizon. The three-bedroom villa set in its own alcove of the island can be a slice of private beach slumber for families and groups.
Hosting great gastronomical delights from around the world, six restaurants and bars will showcase global tastes and locally harvested produce under the expertise of professional chefs at the top of their game. The resort will not disappoint with the brand’s signature programmes looking back on glamorous summers spent on the French Rivera, only this time, the setup is Mother Nature’s best art in the backdrop of Maldivian island bliss.
Le Méridien Maldives invites guests to serenade in treatments from sustainable international brands at Explore Spa by Le Méridien. Young guests can take the advantage of the Le Méridien Family and Kids’ Hub, with educational yet thrilling activities are offered from sun rise to sun down. The resort also presents a boutique lifestyle space that features an ocean facing fitness studio and yoga pavilion as well as an interactive creative arts studio for guests to stay balanced and inspired during their travel.
A range of island adventures, spanning from exploring the island and its healthy house reef to venturing on an expedition on the resort’s wholly owned private island, Bodu Finolhu, every activity is curated with nature discovery and conservation of the environment in mind.
