Hyatt announces third Maldives property with upcoming Hyatt Regency Samarafushi Resort

Hyatt Hotels Corporation has announced that one of its affiliates has signed a management agreement with SingHaiyi for the development of Hyatt Regency Samarafushi Maldives. Set in the stunning North Malé Atoll, this new all-villa resort will mark the Hyatt Regency brand’s debut in the Maldives. The property, scheduled to open in late 2027, will join Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa and Alila Kothaifaru Maldives, becoming the third Hyatt property in the Maldives.

David Udell, Group President of Asia Pacific at Hyatt, expressed excitement over the new collaboration: “The Hyatt Regency brand is built on a foundation of bringing people together and creating a sense of community. For over 55 years, we have inspired travellers across more than 40 countries to connect on personal and professional levels. We are delighted to partner with SingHaiyi to offer guests in the Maldives an opportunity to discover new experiences in one of the world’s top resort destinations.”

Gallant Tang, Executive Director of SingHaiyi, added: “Hyatt Regency Samarafushi Maldives will be SingHaiyi Hospitality’s second property in the Maldives and is key to expanding our strategic presence in this sought-after destination. We chose to collaborate with Hyatt due to its strong reputation and leadership in the hospitality industry, and we are eager to create a resort that embodies the qualities that guests expect from the Hyatt Regency brand.”

Conveniently located just 25 minutes from Malé’s Velana International Airport by speedboat, the resort will offer easy access for guests seeking a peaceful retreat while enjoying the vibrant marine life and cultural attractions nearby. North Malé Atoll is well-known for its proximity to popular diving and snorkelling spots, where manta rays and hawksbill turtles can be seen. The area is also home to some of the best surfing destinations, such as Pasta Point and Sultans, all within reach of the resort.

Spread over 24 acres (10 hectares) of breathtaking landscape, the resort will feature 130 luxurious villas, including beachfront, treetop, and overwater options, each with a private pool. Designed by Park + Associates, the architecture blends traditional Maldivian elements with a soft, natural aesthetic. Guests will enjoy diverse dining experiences, including a sunset bar, beach club, Japanese restaurant, and an all-day dining option. World of Hyatt Globalists and those staying in villas with club access can also enjoy the exclusive Regency Club lounge.

The resort will cater to visitors of all ages with a variety of amenities, such as a dedicated kid’s club, a marine and diving centre, a fitness pavilion, a yoga deck, and a spa offering eight treatment rooms. Whether seeking adventure or relaxation, Hyatt Regency Samarafushi Maldives promises to provide a memorable and immersive experience for every guest.
