The Meliã Executive Vice President, Mr. Gabriel
Escarrer Jaume, announced at FITUR, the leading trade fair for inbound and
outbound markets in Latin America, that Gran Meliã Huravee is scheduled to open
this year. The luxury resort will be the first for the company in the Maldives.
The upcoming Gran Meliã Huravee will be situated
in Kalhudhiyafushi, Thaa Atoll, an idyllic location in the middle of the Maldivian
sea. Thaa Atoll is located 40 minutes from Velana International Airport via
speedboat, though a combination of a short seaplane and speedboat ride option
is also available.
The resort will provide 48 double villas,
30 single villas, 12 beach villas, 6 familiar villas, 2 presidential suites and
1 private island villa for up to 12 guests. A wide range of dining options, spa
and gym, as well as the luxury services characteristic of the Gran Meliã brand
will also be available.
The project is being developed in such a
way that it respects and harmonises with the surrounding environment. All the
buildings and ramps are plot over pilings to reduce the impact over the natural
soil. In the same way, the pool will avail an existing rock reef and will use
natural sea water.
At FITUR, Mr. Escarrer explained that Meliã
will continue to grow internationally in both city and resort hotels, and
currently has 51 new openings planned up until 2020. Asia and the Pacific coast
will continue to grow strongly, with 16 openings planned up to 2020, three of
them in Vietnam, two in China and also the Gran Melia Huravee in the Maldives.
Gran Meliã evokes the essence of Spanish
culture: simple pleasures, connection with the earth, respect for things well
done and a discreet elegance perceived in every corner. This philosophy is
materialized in each of the elements that shape the Gran Meliã experience. From
the extraordinary architecture of the hotels and the quality of the cuisine
evoking local flavours, to the warm and respectful nature of the service. Even
the smallest detail is deeply rooted in the Spanish style.
