Rosewood Hotels & Resorts will debut in the Maldives with Rosewood Ranfaru. Slated to open in 2027, this is what we know about the latest development in the brand’s thoughtful growth pipeline…
One of the most coveted island destinations on the planet, the Maldives are considered by many to be the ultimate luxury wanderlust experience. Now, having achieved worldwide recognition as a preeminent tropical paradise, the Maldives is looking toward the future with an eye on longevity and sustainability, making the destination a natural fit for the unique approach to luxury lifestyle offered by Rosewood Hotels & Resorts. Rosewood Ranfaru will reflect Rosewood’s guiding A Sense of Place philosophy through a highly curated experience that emphasises privacy, luxury and a connection to the natural habitat.
Rosewood Ranfaru will offer approximately 120 beachfront and overwater villas, ranging in size from one- to five-bedrooms, all with private pools and a select number located on private islands. In true Rosewood fashion, unsurpassed service and amenities will be central to the guest experience, including a Rosewood Explorer’s Club to spark discovery and inspire imagination among the youngest visitors. At the heart of the property will lie several specialty restaurants, a beach club and an Asaya well-being facility and fitness centre, together offering a holistic wellness escape. A true leisure oasis, Rosewood Ranfaru will also feature numerous swimming pools, both for adults and families, paddle courts and an array of water sports that will allow guests to fully explore the peaceful and crystal-clear waters of the encircling lagoon.
Stretched across a striking chain of private islands around a pristine lagoon in the South Male Atoll, the property will be situated less than an hour away from Velana International Airport in Male. From touchdown to toes in the sand, guests will be able to make the journey to the resort via either a short yacht ride or a ten-minute seaplane hop. Both experiences will exude the same level of luxury that awaits on the property’s shores. Upon arrival to the resort, travellers will be met with endless opportunity to embark on truly restorative getaways, all surrounded by stunning views of the world’s most beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Developed by Estithmar Holding, this project represents the next generation of Maldives tourism and elevates the overall luxury offerings available in this sublime corner of the globe.
