[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Outrigger Resorts recently earned two 2016 Travel Weekly Gold Magellan Awards, for the company’s redesign of its website and a branding video produced for Outrigger Konotta Maldives Resort that showcases its exquisite over-water bungalows and uncompromising Outrigger hospitality.

“It’s a tremendous honor to be recognized for our commitment to continuously improving and enhancing the travel experience for our guests,” said Sean Dee, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer for Outrigger Enterprises Group.
