The resort is also within 40 minutes travelling time via sea plane from Malé, and 10 minutes by speedboat from the new domestic airport.

Chanin Donavanik, Chief Executive Officer of Dusit International said, “This new project is our first foray into the Maldives, arguably one of the most beautiful destinations on earth. This is a very exciting addition to our growing portfolio and represents a great milestone for the Dusit brand.
