Outrigger Maldives Maafushivaru Resort Receives ‘Best Luxury Hideaway Resort in Maldives’ Award for 2022

Outrigger Maldives Maafushivaru Resort has been honoured with the title of "Best Luxury Hideaway Resort in the Maldives, 2022" as part of this year's Luxury Lifestyle Awards, a global accolade celebrating the best luxury goods and services worldwide.

The visually breathtaking property comprises a collection of 81 luxury villas in five categories, including beach, pool and duplex accommodations, and popular overwater bungalows.

"Outrigger Maldives Maafushivaru sparkles with breathtakingly beautiful nature alongside elegant accommodations. We are so proud that the experts from Luxury Lifestyle Awards have already recognised our charming hideaway," said John Allanson, General Manager, Maldives Maafushivaru.

"The Outrigger Way commitment to authentically caring for our guests, alongside the bewitching allure of our setting, has been apparent to patrons and judges alike."

Outrigger Maldives Maafushivaru Resort is renowned for its uninterrupted views of white sandy beaches and a seemingly endless turquoise lagoon. Recently, the property underwent extensive modernisation. It is now poised to be among the Maldives' most coveted vacation experiences.

The upscale resort boasts all of the amenities high-end guests expect: private seaplane transfers, a diverse curation of quality food and beverage outlets, plush full-spa service, a chic retail boutique, vow renewals, PADI dive centre, and abundant watersports, to name a few.

Marine conservation and awareness building are vital to the resort operations, aligned with Outrigger's ZONE (OZONE), the company's long-established global marine conservation and environmental care initiative.

Outrigger Maldives Maafushivaru Resort's marine biologist, Lynn Kessler, leads guests on a daily snorkel and scuba trips. She collects data on manta rays, whale sharks and turtles, which helps Maldives-based NGOs in their marine conservation work. She also gives marine wildlife presentations to Outrigger guests biweekly and is associated with a coral planting program.

"Being environmentally responsible and leading by example is key to The Outrigger Way - caring for our hosts, our guests and our place," said Allanson.

The judges at the Luxury Lifestyle Awards took these factors, and more, into consideration before presenting the award.
