\u201cThere are few destinations that evoke higher levels of relaxation, elegance and seclusion than the Maldives. This resort is the perfect addition to our array of global beachfront properties,\u201d said Jeff Wagoner, president and CEO of Outrigger Hospitality Group. \u201cWith travel on the rise, we look forward to welcoming our global guests to the Maldives and curating unforgettable Outrigger Signature Experiences that allow visitors to appreciate Maldivian culture in an iconic beachfront setting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located in the vibrant Indian Ocean, the Maldives is classified by many world travelers as the ultimate luxury beach destination. Known for its uninterrupted views of white sandy beaches and an endless turquoise lagoon \u2013 the Maafushivaru Resort has recently undergone an extensive modernization and is poised to be among the Maldives\u2019 most sought-after vacation destinations. Outrigger will leverage the knowledge of general manager, John Allanson, who has served the brand previously and has three decades of hospitality leadership experience. In his new role, Allanson will spearhead the transition of this property utilizing The Outrigger Way philosophy. This ethos has allowed the brand to expand across the globe without compromising its values of caring for guest, host and place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRespecting local host culture and fostering a deep appreciation for the communities in which we operate is key to the Outrigger experience,\u201d added Wagoner. \u201cAs Outrigger nears its 75th anniversary this year, we look forward to celebrating this new luxury property in the Maldives as part of the next chapter for our premier beach resort brand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Outrigger brand is renowned for barefoot luxury \u2013 effortlessly fusing contemporary comforts with a relaxed, joyful vibe. In addition to blissful accommodations, guests to Outrigger Maldives Maafushivaru Resort can look forward to exceptional dining, live music entertainment and bespoke Signature Experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The private island resort has seven restaurants, bars and cafes on island which offer a stimulating mix of food and beverage offerings. Cuisine ranges from Asian to Mediterranean; enjoy fresh-caught sushi and teppanyaki one day, then steak and salad the next. Music plays a key note in the Outrigger experience \u2013 from chill beats of a DJ at Water Bar to the sweet sounds of a live band, the energy on property is unmatched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Signature Experiences include underwater dive adventures with the resident marine biologist to view manta rays at the nearby coral reefs and boat excursions around the South Ari Atoll. The brand\u2019s environmental stewardship platform, Outrigger\u2019s ZONE (OZONE) further links enriching guest experiences with coral reef restoration to protect our oceans and help them thrive for generations to come. For the ultimate relaxation, the resort spa is an oasis of wellbeing with customized treatments including rooms for couples.
