New Name, New Management, Same Beauty

Tuesday 5th of April 2022

Sometime this year, it is said that the Outrigger Hospitality Group will be adding another luxury five-star resort, the newly renovated Maafushivaru Resort in the Maldives to their expanding global portfolio.

Upon the change in management, it will be renamed  Outrigger Maldives Maafushivaru Resort.

It is located a 25-minute seaplane flight from Malé on a private island in the pristine South Ari Atoll of the beautiful Maldives. The resort is comprised of a collection of 81 luxury villa styles including beach, pool, and duplex accommodations, as well as coveted overwater bungalows and more.

“There are few destinations that evoke higher levels of relaxation, elegance, and seclusion than the Maldives. This resort is the perfect addition to our array of global beachfront properties,” said Jeff Wagoner, President, and CEO of Outrigger Hospitality Group.

“With travel on the rise, we look forward to welcoming our global guests to the Maldives and curating unforgettable Outrigger Signature Experiences that allow visitors to appreciate Maldivian culture in an iconic beachfront setting.”

The Maafushivaru Resort has recently undergone much extensive modernizations and is set to be one of Maldives' most sought-after vacation destinations, with uninterrupted views of white sandy beaches and a seemingly endless turquoise lagoon.

“Respecting local host culture and fostering a deep appreciation for the communities in which we operate is key to the Outrigger experience,” added Wagoner. “As Outrigger nears its 75th anniversary this year, we look forward to celebrating this new luxury property in the Maldives as part of the next chapter for our premier beach resort brand.”

The Outrigger group is known for their barefoot luxury, which effortlessly fused contemporary comforts with a relaxed and joyful vibe. Aside from the relaxation in the villa, guests can expect fine dining, live music entertainment, and bespoke Signature Experiences.
