Resort Intro
Kuda Villingili Hotel, located in the Maldives and operated by Ghm Hotels Management (GHM), marks the first The Chedi-branded project launched by the group in the Maldives. It is accessible within approximately 30 minutes by speedboat from the main transportation hub. The island consists of a main island and three satellite islands, two of which are connected by walkways to form a cohesive natural archipelago. The overall layout resembles a maritime settlement integrated with lagoon scenery, offering high photographic potential. This area is recognized as one of the world’s premier surfing destinations. The resort features a 150-meter-long main swimming pool, serving as a prominent visual landmark for guests. With fewer than 100 guest rooms across the entire island, each room offers generous space and an open floor plan that aligns with current mainstream architectural trends.
Island Advantages ① Architectural design was handled by Associates Architects, while interior design was completed by Singapore-based URBNarc team. ② As an internationally renowned surfing destination, it holds significant potential appeal due to the rising domestic interest in surfing activities in China.
Island Disadvantages ① Some standard beach bungalows adopt a two-story apartment-style structure, which may not suit the accommodation preferences of certain Chinese travelers. ② Surfing hotspots typically feature weaker snorkeling conditions; the snorkeling experience on this island is only average.
