Kaani Hotels, a leading hotel and guesthouse chain in the Maldives, recently celebrated its 12th anniversary with a week-long series of events, reflecting on the company’s impressive growth and its ongoing commitment to employee well-being. What began as a modest 18-room guesthouse has expanded into a thriving hospitality group with four properties and a growing portfolio of over 600 rooms.
The celebrations began on December 3rd with a Flag Hoisting Ceremony, led by CEO Mr. Abdulla Nasheed and COO Ms. Asima Saleem. A range of activities followed to engage employees and promote team spirit, including a special WeRun Edition focused on health and well-being, a Tree Planting Initiative, and a team breakfast. Other events, such as team-building games, a futsal competition, and a fishing competition, provided opportunities for staff to bond outside of work and enjoy shared experiences.
The anniversary festivities wrapped up on December 9th with a colorful Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony, where the company honored the outstanding achievements of its employees. In a special gesture of appreciation, two employees who had completed five years of service were selected through a lucky draw to receive Umrah pilgrimage gifts.
As part of its ongoing expansion, Kaani Hotels is planning the opening of two new properties in 2025 and a resort in Vaavu Atoll by 2027, further cementing its place in the Maldivian tourism sector.
