Jumeirah Maldives prepares for October debut

Jumeirah Group is set to open a new international resort, Jumeirah Maldives, this October.

The resort’s surprising panoramic architecture and calming interiors are the work of Singaporean design studio, Miaja, who have created an elegant contemporary ethos in harmony with the natural environment, echoing modern Mediterranean chic.

“The Maldives is a much-loved getaway for travellers from around the world and Jumeirah Maldives is a destination that delivers on our brand promise of Stay Different™,” says José Silva, Chief Executive Officer of Jumeirah Group. “The resort offers unparalleled hospitality with a genuine flair that exceeds guest expectations, while pushing the limits of design, culinary and service expertise. A truly breath-taking addition to the brand’s portfolio, Jumeirah Group’s new home in the Maldives guarantees an immaculate guest experience right from the very moment they set foot in our new contemporary resort.”

Jumeirah Maldives features 67 beach and over-water villas in one-, two- and three-bedroom configurations, all offering panoramic views of the Indian Ocean. Starting from 171m², the resort’s villas are among the most spacious in the North Malé Atoll. Each features a private infinity pool and large roof-top terrace with a dedicated dining area for guests to take in the views while indulging in culinary dishes or relaxing with a movie-under-the-stars experience, while the three-bedroom villas also boast their own gym.

Bathed in natural light with oversized windows framing the verdant flora and palm-fringed beaches or the dramatic ocean views, guests are harmoniously connected to the natural environment. Textured walls, local artworks and handcrafts combined with Jumeirah Group’s signature luxury amenities and bedding, create a sense of purity and simplicity amid organic surroundings.

For the resort’s dining experiences Jumeirah Group has infused the island experience with Mediterranean and Nikkei flavours through two of their award-winning signature restaurants, Shimmers and Kayto.

Delivering the ultimate in casual alfresco dining, Shimmers will feature Chef Roberto Rispoli’s cuisine set against a backdrop of sunrises and ocean views with regular live music performances. KAYTO, meanwhile, will captivate guests over dinner, with an impressive open kitchen that will draw the diner’s eye to the team’s culinary mastery.

The globally renowned Talise Spa, with its six overwater treatment rooms, offers unfettered access to wellness and relaxation with a range of therapeutic and re-energising treatments.
