Le Méridien Maldives Resort & Spa Makes its Debut

The highly awaited 141-villa property by Le Méridien Hotels & Resorts is now open in Lhaviyani Atoll. Le Méridien, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio of thirty extraordinary brands, makes this debut with Singaporean developer Chiu Teng Enterprises.

Situated on Thilamaafushi island, Le Méridien Maldives Resort & Spa is a 35-minute seaplane journey north of Velana International Airport. The nine-hectare natural island is an eco-conscious haven abundant with indigenous flora and fauna, enveloped by a shimmering lagoon and coral reefs bursting with vibrant marine life, including pods of Manta Rays and turtles.

The resort celebrates the fabric of the Maldives, its people, nature and art, channelling its energy to uncover the charm of the destination through Le Méridien’s distinctive European-chic lens. “With a nostalgic nod to the glamour of the French Riviera in the 1960s, Le Méridien inspires travellers to explore the world in style, savour the good life and enjoy experiences that offer something more than meets the eye,” said Jason Nuell, senior vice president, Premium Brands, Marriott International.

Rajeev Menon, president, Asia Pacific (excluding China), Marriott International says, “The opening of Le Méridien Maldives Resort & Spa marks the second Marriott International property that opened in the Maldives this summer and the seventh brand entry in the destination. We look forward to expanding our portfolio further in the Maldives in order to offer distinctive and personalised experiences for travellers.”

Nilesh Singh, general manager, Le Méridien Maldives Resort & Spa looks forward to welcoming guests. “Along with Le Méridien’s focus on timeless mid-century design and signature brand programmes, guests are invited to savour the moment and delight in the discovery of everything the resort has to offer.”
