THE Maldives continues to attract international hospitality brands and innovative developments, with Louis Vuitton becoming the latest addition to its burgeoning list of luxury resorts.
Speaking to TTG Asia e-Daily, Maleeh Jamal, deputy minister of tourism, arts and culture, confirmed that Louis Vuitton would debut a 46-villa resort in the Maldives in 2013. The property is now under construction on the island of Randheli in Noonu Atoll.
“Maldives has (also) become the birthplace of tourism innovation,” Jamal said, noting the host of unique attractions in the country’s tourism landscape.
On September 7, the world’s first underwater club, Subsix, opened at the Niyama Maldives. Next in the pipeline is an ambitious floating-island development – including an 18-hole golf course, residences, villas, a hotel and a convention centre – that is being built by Dutch Docklands.
