Rosewood Hotels & Resorts has unveiled plans to introduce Rosewood Ranfaru in the Maldives. Comprised of around 120 beachfront and overwater villas, each featuring private pools and a select number located on private islands, Rosewood Ranfaru is slated to open in 2027.
Rosewood Ranfaru will offer a mix of one- to five-bedroom villas, stretched across a chain of private islands around a pristine lagoon in the South Male Atoll, situated less than an hour away from Velana International Airport in Male.
Guests will be able to make the journey to the resort via either a 35-minute yacht ride or a ten-minute seaplane hop. Both experiences will exude the same level of luxury that awaits on the property’s shores. Upon arrival to the resort, travellers will be met with endless opportunity to embark on truly restorative getaways. Developed by Estithmar Holding, this project represents the next generation of Maldives tourism and elevates the overall luxury offerings available in this sublime corner of the globe.

“The Maldives has its own mystique and allure,” says Radha Arora, President of Rosewood Hotels & Resorts. “Given its well-earned reputation as a haven for discerning travellers, we are very excited to bring our unique brand of Rosewood lifestyle and hospitality to this chain of islands.
“We are confident that through our commitment to immersive amenities, world-class design, and high-touch service, Rosewood will be able to offer the next iteration of Maldivian paradise.”
At the heart of the property will lie several specialty restaurants, a beach club, and an Asaya® well-being facility and fitness centre, together offering a holistic wellness escape. A true leisure oasis, Rosewood Ranfaru will also feature numerous swimming pools, both for adults and families, paddle courts, and an array of water sports.
