Hyatt Hotels Corporation has announced an exciting addition to its portfolio in the Maldives, with the upcoming opening of Hyatt Regency Samarafushi Maldives. This new resort, scheduled to welcome guests in late 2027, marks the debut of the Hyatt Regency brand in the stunning island nation. The project is a collaboration between a Hyatt affiliate and SingHaiyi, a leading real estate developer.
Nestled in the breathtaking North Male Atoll, Hyatt Regency Samarafushi Maldives promises a secluded paradise for discerning travelers. Just a 25-minute speedboat ride from Velana International Airport in Malé, the resort offers easy access to the vibrant coral reefs, renowned diving spots, and fascinating marine life that the Maldives is famous for.
Get ready to encounter majestic manta rays, graceful hawksbill turtles, and a kaleidoscope of underwater wonders. For those seeking adventure, world-class surfing hotspots like Pasta Point and Sultans are just a short distance away, offering thrilling waves for experienced surfers.
Hyatt Regency Samarafushi Maldives will be the third Hyatt property in the Maldives, joining the esteemed Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa and Alila Kothaifaru Maldives. David Udell, group president, Asia Pacific, Hyatt, emphasized the brand’s focus on fostering connections and community. “We’re thrilled to collaborate with SingHaiyi to invite travelers to open their minds and hearts to new perspectives and experiences in the Maldives, one of the world’s most desirable resort destinations,” he said.
SingHaiyi is equally enthusiastic about this project. “With plans to be SingHaiyi Hospitality’s second property in the Maldives, Hyatt Regency Samarafushi Maldives will enhance our strategic presence in the destination. We have selected Hyatt because of its established reputation and leadership in the hospitality industry. We are excited to collaborate with Hyatt to develop a resort which will embody the elements of the Hyatt Regency brand that guests appreciate,” stated Mr. Gallant Tang, executive director of SingHaiyi.
Spread across 24 acres (10 hectares) of pristine beachfront and lush landscapes, the resort will feature 130 luxurious villas, each offering a private oasis. Guests can choose from beachfront, treetop, and overwater villas, all complete with private pools for ultimate relaxation.
The architectural design, masterfully crafted by Park + Associates, blends traditional Maldivian influences with a modern, natural aesthetic, creating a serene and welcoming ambiance.
Dining options will cater to every taste, from a sunset bar and beach club to a Japanese specialty restaurant and an all-day dining venue. For World of Hyatt Globalists and guests staying in club-access villas, the exclusive Regency Club lounge provides a tranquil haven for unwinding and enjoying complimentary refreshments.
