Summer Island Maldives and Equator Village have been awarded top prizes at the annual South Asian Travel Awards (SATA).

At the SATA 2019 Gala that took place in Galle, Sri Lanka last weekend, Summer Island beat off competition from hotels and resorts across the region to win the category of “South Asia’s Leading Beach Resort”. Summer Island also won “Leading Beach Resort in Maldives.”

Equator Village, located in Gan, Addu atoll, won “Best Airport Hotel in the Maldives”.

At the 2017 and 2018 SATA awards, Summer Island Maldives also won “South Asia’s Leading Beach Resort” and “Maldives’ Leading Beach Resort” awards.

“Winning this award for the third consecutive year is a recognition of the hard work of the Summer team,” Mari Shareef, Resort Manager of Summer Island, was quoted in a statement, as saying.

A 4-star resort located in north Male’ atoll, Summer Island Maldives is one of the Maldives’ first resorts, and remains locally owned. A recent refurbishment has created fresh and zesty rooms, award-winning restaurants, a rustic beach bar, and a world-class, overwater spa.

Summer Island made headlines last year by installing the world’s largest 3-D printed reef, in a bid to help corals adapt to a warming climate. The project is part of the resort’s environmental initiatives, which have also seen recent bans on plastic bottles, bags and drinking straws, and a shift to solar power.

Equator Village resort is just a 5-minute drive from Gan International Airport. The resort has 78 spacious rooms set amongst pretty, manicured gardens, and a large swimming pool with stunning views over the Indian Ocean. The resort, housed in colonial-era bungalows that were once the RAF Sergeants’ Mess, has recently been refurbished, giving the property a fresh new look while retaining its colonial charm.

“I am honoured to receive this award on behalf of the Equator Village team. This award will drive more exposure to Equator Village and Addu, which has so much to offer to travellers,” Mohamed Waheed, Resort Manager of Equator Village, said.

Since launching in 2016, SATA has established a reputation as South Asia’s most prestigious travel awards. The awards have been endorsed by tourism organisations from across the region, including the Sri Lankan Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry, the Indian Confederation of Associated Tour Operators, the Nepal Tourism Board, and the Maldives Association of Travel Agents and Tour Operators (MATATO).

Master Baker Steven to conduct IREKS Baking Art & Science training in Maldives

Published

on

The return of IREKS Master Baker to the Maldives brings exciting news for the local baking community.

Kuala Lumpur-based Master Baker – Chef Steven Selvamuthu, will be conducting pro-bono culinary demonstrations and extensive training sessions from 19th August to 7th September, 2023. Bakers and Pastry Chefs in resorts and HORECA institutions can look forward to enhancing their skills and knowledge under his guidance.

Steven’s expertise in pastries, acquired through training in Gelato University in Italy and a Chocolate Master program in Switzerland, has been instrumental in providing the best solutions to IREKS’ customers in the Maldives.

IREKS, the renowned German company, is a global player in the industry, celebrated for their expertise in developing innovative baking ingredients and catering to the preferences of the health-conscious and quality-driven generation. IREKS provides high-quality bakery flour and ingredients, including baking improvers, specialty bread mixes, gluten-free mixes, vegan mixes, and confectionary mixes. With a growing awareness of the impact of food production on people and the environment, IREKS offers a diverse range of organic baking improvers and mixes for the efficient production of various organic quality baked goods. They exclusively source raw materials from controlled organic cultivation.

In addition to its range of flour mixes focused on multiple baking needs, IREKS also offers a wide “Free-from” range, accommodating various dietary preferences such as lactose-free, palm oil-free, additive-free, egg-free, sugar-free, or vegan options.

In particular, IREKS has been providing a comprehensive Gluten-Free range since 1995. Gluten, a protein that provides structure, is essential for making grains bakeable, and it would be a challenge to bake without its presence. At the same time, gluten-free baked goods are growing in demand – even from those who do not suffer from medical conditions (e.g.: celiac disease). In order to meet the high safety requirements in this specialised production process, gluten-free ingredients are carefully and meticulously selected and processed at IREKS’s state-of-the-art facilities in Germany.

So, this powerhouse of the baking profession, Master Baker Steven, will share his vast expertise with the resort bakers’ community during these demonstration sessions. Should you wish to participate in a training session, please contact Bestbuy Maldives.
