Barceló Hotel Group has officially opened Barceló Nasandhura Malé, marking its first five-star property in the capital city of the Maldives. This new opening highlights the group’s ongoing international growth and its commitment to strengthening its presence in Asia.
Located in the Indian Ocean, the Maldives is a world-renowned destination made up of 26 atolls and over 1,000 islands. Known for its warm climate, turquoise waters, and rich marine life, it offers the perfect setting for travellers seeking both relaxation and adventure.
Barceló Nasandhura Malé is positioned on the seafront directly opposite the Henveiru Ferry Terminal and just ten minutes from Velana International Airport. With its ideal location and original architecture, the hotel offers a premium stay for visitors looking to enjoy the city while staying close to nature.
The hotel features 136 rooms in different categories along with 116 serviced apartments. These accommodations combine modern design with comfort, providing a high-end urban experience in the lively city of Malé.
Guests can enjoy a wide variety of dining options. Alimas is a casual lounge café located on the ground floor. Oivaru offers all-day buffet dining. Dons specialises in Chinese cuisine. BHeaven is a rooftop venue that serves signature mocktails and features a dedicated shisha area. The Pool Bar provides a unique setting by the city’s only oceanfront pool, perfect for unwinding.
Barceló Nasandhura Malé also features an extensive wellness centre. It includes a spa with six treatment rooms and a fully equipped fitness centre with sea views, creating an ideal environment for both relaxation and exercise.
For corporate guests and event planners, the hotel offers over 1,000 square metres of space for meetings, conferences, and exhibitions, making it a new hub for business events in the capital.
This opening is part of Barceló Hotel Group’s broader strategy in Asia. The group now operates eleven hotels across six countries in the region including Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, and the Maldives.
Barceló Nasandhura Malé is the group’s second hotel in the Maldives. It follows the launch of Barceló Whale Lagoon Maldives, a five-star resort with 100 villas located in the South Ari Atoll, known for being one of the best places in the world to spot whale sharks.
With this latest addition, Barceló continues to grow its presence in key international destinations while offering unique experiences that blend local character with world-class hospitality.
