SINGAPORE-BASED HPL Hotels & Resorts will take over the management of Soneva Gili, Maldives on July 1.
Previously managed by the Soneva Group (TTG Asia e-Daily, June 15, 2012), the resort will take on a new name – Gili Lankanfushi – and undergo minor enhancements. Business will be as usual at the property, and terms and conditions of guest reservations will not change with the new management.
Stephen Lau, chairman of HPL Hotels & Resorts, said the resort would complement the group’s product portfolio and be positioned as an upmarket boutique resort.
Located on Lankanfushi Island in North Malé Atoll, the environmental-sensitive resort features 45 over-water villas with private water gardens, open-air bathrooms, rooftop terraces and over-water sundecks.
Gili Lankanfushi is HPL’s fifth property in the Maldives. Other properties within the group are Four Seasons Resort at Kuda Huraa and Landaa Giraavaru; Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma; and Rihiveli Beach Resort. It is also the 12th hotel managed by the group.
