Ennismore has announced the signing of Mondrian Maldives, set to open on Kuredhivaru Island in 2026.

Located just 45 minutes by seaplane from Male International Airport, the resort is on one of the handful of exclusive islands within the Noonu Atoll.

Before being transformed into a Mondrian, the property will operate as Kuredhivaru Resort & Spa under Ennismore’s management. The resort was previously under the Movenpick flag.

When it opens, Mondrian Maldives will have 105 villas, including 30 beach pool villas, 72 overwater pool villas, and three-bedroom pool residences with direct access to the island’s white sand beaches. Every villa features a private pool.

True to the Mondrian brand’s reputation as a cultural connector, the resort will provide programming and experiences that reflect the Maldives’ rich and diverse culture. Facilities will include a spa, a gym, a diving center, a yoga pavilion, tennis and volleyball courts, swimming pools, and a kids’ club.

Food and beverage will be delivered via four restaurants and bar venues.

“Surrounded by stunning beaches and turquoise waters, Mondrian Maldives will create the perfect sanctuary for our guests,” says Phil Zrihen, Brand COO for Mondrian Hotels, Ennismore. “Where bold design intersects with island style, the resort realizes new dream-like spaces where guests can escape into nature’s wonders on a secluded private island. In bringing Mondrian’s oversized imagination to the Maldives, we hope to raise the bar as a cultural and culinary destination in the islands.”

The Mondrian brand is rooted in art, design and culture, groundbreaking interiors, immersive art installations, and inventive culinary experiences. Its portfolio is currently comprised of ten properties in established and emerging cultural hubs in Singapore, Los Angeles, Miami, Doha, Mexico City, Cannes, Bordeaux, Seoul, Hong Kong and Ibiza. Destinations in the development pipeline Abu Dhabi, Tulum, Dubai, and Australia’s Gold Coast.
