Wednesday 28th of December 2022
Maldives’ first multi-island leisure destination, CROSSROADS Maldives has officially inaugurated its brand-new Ticketing Lounge under a partnership with Art Gallery Male’. The lounge will serve as a space to relax and enjoy guests’ first moments in the Maldives before they travel to the destination. Here, guests will be able to first-hand experience the signature hospitality extended by the CROSSROADS Maldives. Those with reservations or seeking to book on arrival can begin crafting their experience from the lounge itself.
The lounge is equipped with a myriad of contemporary services and amenities designed to give guests and visitors alike a memorable experience. Showcasing the celebrated Maldivian hospitality, guests will be able to see the skillset of local artisans with many artworks from the Art Gallery Male’ making a debut in the lounge. The Art Gallery Male’ is a private gallery that works closely in association with established and rising artists in the Maldives and gives them the chance to exhibit their work on the local and international scene.
Moreover, further exploring avenues of partnership with the gallery, CROSSROADS Maldives’ newly introduced ‘Artist in Residence programme’ will see professional artists making appearances to hone guests’ artistic talents. Classes can be arranged in the Art Gallery Studio at The Marina on request or in the comforts of guest rooms. Here, guests will be indulged in a plethora of innovative art disciplines featured under various themes and genres.

Speaking further he said “this new space allows us to cater to visitors’ demand for CROSSROADS, from boat ticket reservations for day visits and corporate events to family-friendly experiences. The lounge is purposefully designed to spur collaborations between Art Gallery Malé artists and audiences. With its unique location and heritage neighbourhoods, we hope that CROSSROADS Maldives lounge will be a new destination where cultures meet for people of all ages and backgrounds to discover modern art, create new memories and connections, provide and be inspired by different perspectives about our world today as well as our possible futures.”
