SingHaiyi has appointed the Hyatt Regency brand to managed its new property in the Maldives, with the all-villa resort set to open as Hyatt Regency Samarafushi Maldives in late 2027.
This will be Hyatt Hotels Corporation’s third property in the destination, joining Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa and Alila Kothaifaru Maldives.
Located 25 minutes away from Valena International Airport in Malé by speedboat, the resort’s prime location is expected to be a large draw for sun-seekers, culture lovers and marine enthusiasts seeking an accessible yet tranquil retreat. The North Malé Atoll is close to the capital and known for its proximity to popular diving and snorkelling sites where manta rays and hawksbill turtles are frequently spotted. Prime surfing destinations like Pasta Point and Sultans will also be accessible from the resort.
David Udell, group president, Asia Pacific, Hyatt, said: “The Hyatt Regency brand is rooted in a culture of bringing people together and fostering a spirit of community. For more than 55 years, it has inspired Hyatt guests to seek personal connections and professional collaborations in more than 40 countries around the globe.”
Gallant Tang, executive director of SingHaiyi, added: “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.”
