Barceló Nasandhura Malé is operated by the renowned Barceló Hotel Group, a Spanish hotel chain celebrated for its excellence in the hospitality industry. This opening marks a significant milestone for the brand as it expands its footprint in the Maldives.

The group’s presence in the region was strengthened in August 2024 with the launch of Barceló Whale Lagoon Maldives in South Ari Atoll, a property that has already garnered rave reviews. Barceló Group also manages luxury hotels in the UAE, Thailand, and across Europe, emphasizing its global reach and reputation for delivering exceptional guest experiences.

World-Class Facilities for a Memorable Stay

The hotel promises an array of premium amenities to cater to diverse guest preferences:

  • Dining Options: Four upscale restaurants serving international cuisines, complemented by a rooftop shisha bar offering panoramic city and ocean views.
  • Relaxation and Wellness: An oceanfront pool, a state-of-the-art gym, and a luxurious spa for unwinding after a busy day.
  • Event Spaces: Over 1,000 square meters of MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) facilities, making it an ideal venue for business meetings, conferences, and social gatherings.

Whether traveling for leisure or business, guests will find a perfect blend of sophistication, convenience, and indulgence at Barceló Nasandhura Malé.

Flexibility and Enhanced Guest Experiences

Initially planned to open in December 2024, the hotel’s launch has been rescheduled to Q1 2025 to ensure all facilities meet the highest standards. The serviced apartments, originally intended for residential use, will now be available for daily rentals, offering flexibility to short- and long-term guests alike.

This adaptability is part of Barceló Group’s commitment to meeting the evolving needs of modern travelers while maintaining a high level of service.

A Legacy of Excellence in Hospitality
