One year ago, Radisson Blu launched their signature resort on the waters of Maldives on August 1, 2020. Since then, over 6000 guests have rejoiced and vacationed on the island, many of whom kept coming back for more. Some even extended their holidays beyond their itinerary and got comfortable in their luxurious home away from home.
The past week has been full of celebrations of moments big and small on the pristine island of Radisson Blu Resort Maldives as the team marked turning a grand one-year-old. Guests on the island were treated to parties serving scrumptious delights at sundown, followed by cake cutting to the sounds of Maldivian Bodu Beru beats and gifts for all!
On the side, the in-house team sneaked a celebration of their own where the management specially appreciated the dedicated team effort into making the resort irresistible to its guests. In the short time that passed, the resort was able to bag a number of significant international accolades. All staff were handed gifts on the occasion at the newly built island village.
“During the unprecedented time, the team remained strong and steadfastly serve the guests who have traveled far from their homes to Maldives. And as just like the famous quote ‘Fortune favors the bold’, the resort looks forward to its promising second year and is prepared to welcome guests in from all parts of the world when travel tales off again.” said Gavin Sanders, General Manager, sharing his gratitude.
The resort team has actively sought enhancement to its services and offerings since the resort began operation. In this regard, an extensive range of watersports activities have provided guests with the unique opportunity to explore the marine-rich waters of South Ari Atoll. Many other initiatives taken were more focused on responsible business and sustainable tourism such as the establishment of an inhouse water bottling plant that reduced the plastic usage on the island significantly.
Young and aspiring youth from neighboring local islands have become a part of the Radisson Blu Maldives family through the resort’s internship program. A number of FAM trips have also been conducted in the key markets of India, Russia and the Middle East that have yielded an increase in arrivals.
The magical island resort of Radisson Blu looks forward to creating whimsical moments for you to cherish on your next vacation to the Maldives.
