Dusit's Key Milestone To Open in Maldives

Jan. 30, 2012 - PRLog -- Bangkok, Thailand – 24 January 2012: Dusit International confirms the opening of Dusit Thani Maldives on 6 February 2012.  A total investment of some US $80 million  has been committed to acquire the Mudhdhoo Island Resort with Dusit International as the majority shareholder. In addition Dusit College, a subsidiary of Dusit International, has been invited to develop hospitality training programmes in the Maldives for the benefit of Maldivians entering the tourism sector.

Surrounded by a vibrant 360-degree coral reef and turquoise lagoon, this island property features pearl white sandy beaches and a rich landscape of verdant vegetation.  Dusit Thani Maldives is considered a landmark addition to this fast expanding brand.

“Dusit Thani Maldives will elevate the brand to a new level “, says Mr. Chanin Donavanik, CEO of Dusit International.  “This property represents a milestone in our strategic expansion plans.  As we gain momentum in the region, we look forward to advancing the guest experience throughout our  group of hotels and resorts”

Located on Mudhdhoo Island in Baa Atoll, Dusit Thani Maldives is 35-minutes by seaplane from the capital Malé,  Blending Maldivian architecture with Thai artistry, the 100-villa resort features Dusit’s signature Devarana Spa, uniquely elevated above a grove of coconut palm trees.  The resort’s centrepiece is the expansive infinity swimming pool, the largest in the Maldives, a full 750 square metres designed around an ancient banyan tree.  Dusit Thani Maldives is an ideal haven to explore the marine biodiversity of Baa Atoll, the first UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve in the country.

Dusit International is poised to further expand in 2012 with several hotels opening in key markets other than the Maldives, including Dusit Devarana New Delhi and Dusit Thani Abu Dhabi.  And, a robust and diverse pipeline of new properties in the United States; China; Middle East and India reflect a strong focus on expanding the Dusit brand within the region and globally.
