The Residence Maldives at Dhigurah has announced plans to host recruitment open days in Male next week, as the brand new resort prepares to welcome its first guests.

Recruitment sessions will be held at the Social Centre in capital Male on February 2 and 3. Interested candidates are requested to attend walk-in interviews from 10am to 1pm and from 2-5pm on each day.

Recruitment open days were earlier held at the southernmost atolls of Addu and Fuvahmulah in October.

The Residence Maldives at Dhigurah, nestled in the Gaafu Alif Atoll, will be adjacent to The Residence by Cenizaro’s first property in the island nation, The Residence Maldives at Falhumaafushi. The brand new resort is expected to open in February, enabling guests to travel between the two resorts through a custom-built bridge – and forming one of the largest resort offerings in the Maldives.

The Residence Maldives at Dhigurah will offer 173 beach and water villas, each featuring its own private pool. It will also use locally-sourced materials, designed to capitalise on natural lighting. Catering to families, the resort will provide 12 two-bedroom beach and water pool villas, with more on-land options, designed for younger children.

Dining options include all-day dining at The Dining Room, the resort’s beachfront restaurant and Li Bai, the resort’s signature Cantonese restaurant, serving classic Chinese dishes.

Other resort highlights include a 42-metre infinity pool, Dive & Watersports Centre, relaxation reading lounge, fully-equipped gym, two complimentary bicycles per room for all guests, and a diverse range of water sports and land-based activities.
