Hyatt Hotels Corporation announced today that a Hyatt affiliate has entered into a management agreement with SingHaiyi for Hyatt Regency Samarafushi Maldives.
Located in the North Male Atoll, the resort will mark Hyatt Regency’s brand entry into the Maldive Islands. Slated to open in late 2027, the new all-villa resort will join Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa and Alila Kothaifaru Maldives as the third Hyatt property in the Republic of Maldives.
“The Hyatt Regency brand is rooted in a culture of bringing people together and fostering a spirit of community. For more than 55 years, it has inspired Hyatt guests to seek personal connections and professional collaborations in more than 40 countries around the globe,” said David Udell, group president, Asia Pacific, Hyatt. “We’re thrilled to collaborate with SingHaiyi to invite travelers to open their minds and hearts to new perspectives and experiences in the Maldives, one of world’s most desirable resort destinations.”
“With plans to be SingHaiyi Hospitality’s second property in the Maldives, Hyatt Regency Samarafushi Maldives will enhance our strategic presence in the destination. We have selected Hyatt because of its established reputation and leadership in the hospitality industry. We are excited to collaborate with Hyatt to develop a resort which will embody the elements of the Hyatt Regency brand that guests appreciate,” said Mr. Gallant Tang, executive director of SingHaiyi.
Located only 25 minutes away from Valena International Airport in Malé by speedboat, North Male Atoll is close to the capital and known for its proximity to popular diving and snorkeling sites where manta rays and hawksbill turtles are frequently spotted. Prime surfing destinations like Pasta Point and Sultans will also be accessible from the resort.
Nestled across 24 acres (10 hectares) of picturesque land, Hyatt Regency Samarafushi Maldives will feature 130 beachfront, treetop, and overwater villas, all with a private pool. The architectural design by Park + Associates intersects traditional Maldivian architecture with a light and natural palette.
Other amenities at the resort will include a sunset bar, a beach club, a Japanese specialty restaurant, an all-day-dining concept, a dedicated kid’s club, a marine and diving center, a fitness pavilion, a yoga deck, and a spa with eight treatment rooms.
