Hilton Maldives Amingiri is strategically located on Amingiri Island in the Male Atoll, directly accessible from the Maldives’ Velana International Airport via a 15-minute speedboat ride. The resort will feature 109 beach and water villas, each with a private pool (including an exclusive six-bedroom villa). A pool, spa, fitness centre and salon will also be available for guests.
There will be six restaurants and bars on-site, including: Habitat: the resort’s all-day dining restaurant serving international cuisines inspired by cultures ranging from the Mediterranean to South East Asia; Re-Fuel: A teens-only zone where junior guests can gain access through a secret speakeasy-style entrance in the Kids’ club; and EDEN: An adults-only resort’s destination bar specialising in champagne and gin-based drinks.
“We are confident their experience in developing world-class resorts in the Maldives, combined with Hilton’s strong commercial engine, will place us at the top of mind for leisure travellers when it is safe to travel again,” said Guy Phillips, SVP Development, Asia Australasia, Hilton.
A specific opening date has not been stated by Hilton, other than “at the end of this year”.
