Asian hospitality brand, GHM (General Hotel Management Ltd)
has announced the opening of its first resort in the Maldives, The Chedi
Kudavillingili in the second quarter of 2020.
Located on the pristine island of Kudavillingili, The Chedi
Kudavillingili, designed by a global team of designers is a Maldivian
architectural marvel giving an overarching aesthetic appeal with complementary
interior design and landscaping.
This mixed-use resort development features total 99 villas;
36 over-water villas, 63 island-based villas and a 150-metre-long central pool
with a desirable proximity to the Malé International Airport, a 25-minute
speedboat ride away.
Hans R. Jenni, Co-founder and President, GHM commented, "Our
plans for The Chedi Kudavillingili will showcase the enduring beauty of the
Maldives and its people, but we will also remain true to GHMs tenets of
intuitive luxury, timeless designs, bespoke experiences and quality service,"
Additionally, The Chedi Kudavillingili is set to launch a
spa with eight overwater treatment rooms, a beach club and bar, an all-day
dining restaurant and Hawkers Stalls featuring four live cooking stations.
"Ive always been impressed with GHMs work particularly
with The Chedi Muscat," said P. Mohamed Ali, Chairman, MFAR Group.
"Ive seen the kind of impact a GHM resort can have on a
destination, and I am looking forward to how GHM will redefine the luxury
resort experience in the Maldives, just as they have done in Muscat," he
further added.
Recreational opportunities on the island run the gamut from
courts for several different sports to surfing and a plethora of on-the-water
and underwater pursuits.
Since its founding in 1992, GHM has taken the road less
travelled into destinations not so well known at the time, opening resorts such
as The Nam Hai in Vietnam, The Chedi Muscat in Oman and The Chedi Andermatt in
Switzerland. Each won renown for designs that embraced local archetypes and
were then enhanced by an alchemy of Asian aesthetics and contemporary cool.
GHM expects the majority of the resorts guests to come for
the quiet, the placid waters and the pristine sands, for sunset cruises,
barbecue dinners and fishing expeditions.
