This is the third major investment in the Maldives by Blackstone, the largest alternative investment firm in the world.
The islands are situated within the same lagoon, in close proximity to capital Male and the main Velana International Airport. more
Meanwhile, the Maldives tourism ministry had issued two separate notices to clear any debt or claims on the islands before the lease transfer — a legal requirement for transferring leasehold rights of tourist resorts in the Maldives. [links]
Blackstone had earlier this year acquired the leasehold rights of Conrad Maldives Rangali Island resort from local owner Crown Company for an undisclosed sum. The resort continues to be run managed by Hilton Worldwide, under its flagship Conrad Hotels and Resorts brand. [links]
Several local media reports said that Blackstone had offered to acquire the leasehold rights of three Anantara-branded resort islands, along with the island, which houses the staff facilities of the three resorts: Dhigufinolhu island, home to Anantara Dhigu Maldives Resort; Veliganduhura island, home to Anantara Veli Maldives Resort; Kudahura island, home to Naladhu Private Island Maldives; and the staff island of Boduhura.
The hotel’s guests will be able to access the resort by boat. It’ll be a 15-minute ride from Anantara the Palm Dubai Resort’s jetty to the island that will be entirely devoted to the resort. more
Anantara runs nine hotels and resorts in the region, and Anantara World Islands Dubai Resort, situated in the Arabian Gulf’s World Islands archipelago, is in the final stages of development.
There will be 70 suites, beach villas, and pool villas. The villas will be fitted out with private pools, outdoor dining areas, and direct beach access to cater to couples and families. more
“Anantara World islands Dubai Resort will be the first hotel to open on this archipelago, offering guests a truly memorable escape just off the coast of Dubai,” said Dillip Rajakarier, chief executive of Minor Hotels, the parent company of Anantara. He added, “Guests will be able to experience the wonder of Dubai and the ambiance of an island sanctuary, all in this stunning new Anantara resort.” [links]
