Jumeirah Maldives, an all-villa luxury resort tucked away in the crystalline turquoise waters of the North Malé Atoll, has welcomed its first guests this week, adding to Jumeirah Group’s growing portfolio of hotels.
Its idyllic location, swiftly reachable by speedboat or seaplane from Malé Airport, offers privacy for romantic getaways, a blissful island retreat for friends and family, and experiences to suit the more active traveller.
Jumeirah Maldives offers 67 beach and over-water villas in one-, two- and three-bedroom configurations, all with stunning panoramic views of the Indian Ocean.
Starting from 171sqm, the resort’s villas are among the most spacious in the North Malé Atoll, each featuring a private infinity pool and large roof-top terrace with dedicated dining area. The three-bedroom villas also boast their own gym.
The beach villa’s oversized windows frame the palm fringed beaches or sweeping ocean views.
The resort’s surprising panoramic architecture and calming interiors are the work of Singaporean design studio, Miaja, who have created an elegant contemporary ethos in harmony with the natural environment.
José Silva, Chief Executive Officer of Jumeirah Group, said: “The resort offers unparalleled hospitality with a genuine flair that exceeds guest expectations, while pushing the limits of design, culinary and service expertise.
“A truly breath-taking addition to the brand’s portfolio, our new home in the Maldives guarantees an immaculate guest experience right from the very moment they set foot in our new contemporary resort.”
The villa interiors are bathed in natural light, with oversized windows framing the palm fringed beaches or sweeping ocean views. Textured walls, local artworks and handcrafts are combined with Jumeirah’s signature luxury amenities and bedding.
For the ultimate in alfresco dining, Shimmers features chef Roberto Rispoli’s exquisite cuisine set against a backdrop of amazing sunrises, breath-taking ocean views and chilled vibes thanks to a resident DJ and regular live music performances.
