GHM Hotels?will open its first resort in the Maldives in 2016. The resort will be built on a 55-hectare atoll, the largest habitable island in the Maldives, and will be located 20 minutes by speedboat from Hanimadhoo International Airport.
The Chedi Dhapparu will include 90 hotel-managed residential villas and 40 hotel suites. Every unit will offer unrestricted views of either a coral-reef lagoon or the open ocean. When sales begin next year, it will become the first project in the Maldives to sell villas to prospective buyers. The villas will have from one to four bedrooms.
The master plan include a spa with 10 double treatment rooms; a health club; a club lounge catering to guests lodged in the over-water suites; and a beach club with a dive center and bar as well as a library, cigar lounge and four food and beverage outlets. Paris-based AW2, an architecture firm, will design 20 of the hotel suites each with a private pool.
