Taj Resorts Maldives to reopen on July 15 with enhanced safety, island buyout offers
After months of lockdown and travel restrictions, travellers looking for a secluded and activity-filled getaway in Maldives are in for a treat.
With novel comforts invested and stringent safety standards perfected, the Taj Group of Hotels have redefined its services and hospitality in its two stunning properties in the land of sun, sand and sea. Taj Exotica Resort & Spa, Maldives, and Taj Coral Reef Resort & Spa, Maldives are ready and primed to once again welcome guests to their sandy shores.
Positioned globally for its signature hospitality and unparalleled experiences, the Taj Group of Hotels in Maldives have encompassed all safety protocols defined by its parent company Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL) in conjunction with World Health Organisation (WHO), as well as the Maldivian Health Protection Agency (HPA) and tourism ministry.
Both Taj Exotica Resort and Taj Coral Reef Resort are fully equipped with well-trained staff, best practices and high-grade protective equipment and disinfectants to ensure the safety and comfort of guests. With the spirit of Tajness reinvigorated to face the new normal world, the resorts are committed to prioritise safety, hygiene and physical distancing while delivering authentic hospitality.
All staff have been trained to delight guests, safely and with minimum contact at all touch points.
Technology has also been infused to several processes including check-in, check-out, non-invasive thermal screening, dining and digital payments to ensure seamless, no-touch yet personalised experiences.
To ensure physical distancing, the resorts have also redesigned layouts for seating and guest movement inside the hotels and out, including speed boats, resort buggies, lobbies, restaurants, service areas and common spaces.
With safer rooms and regularly disinfected surfaces, furniture, crockery, linen and more, guests are reassured of utmost hygiene and safety. Taj hotels are also taking strict precautionary measures such as ensuring sufficient resting of suites and rooms after check-out before reoccupation.
Travellers are assured of convenience when flying in, with the Maldivian government implementing several measures to make the island destination a welcome retreat.
While tourists are not subject to any quarantine measures upon arrival to the Maldives, they are also not required to submit any medical test results for entry.
However, for the safety of all, local health authorities will be performing random testing at no cost to travellers, while those showing symptoms of Covid-19 upon arrival will be subjected to a PCR test at their own expense.
Even when departing the Maldives, the authorities have made available testing services for tourists requiring Covid-19 test results to return home or continue travelling.
In preparation for their reopening July 15, Taj Exotica Resort and Taj Coral Reef Resort have introduced several attractive offers for travellers to book now and travel later, saving up to 25 per cent while receiving extra in-premise value additions.
With the pandemic redefining the way we indulge and travel, remote castaway experiences are enticing, safe and reassuring. And what better option than to have an island for yourself?
The Taj Group of Hotels in Maldives is introducing the concept of island buyouts – unspoilt seclusion with an awe-inspiring backdrop in one of the world’s most magical destinations, all to yourself!
Perfect for family getaways, wellness retreats or even high-level corporate meetings, island buyout can also be married with private flying, offered by Taj Air, renowned for its fine fleet of executive jets.
This attractive travel option ensures that guests experience the best of Maldives with Taj hospitality while ensuring privacy, physical distancing and high levels of hygiene and safety.
Maldives has always been a romantic and intimate destination, but the ocean has never looked so inviting and the sun-kissed sand appears even more golden under the radiant glow of summer. Dreamlike indulgence awaits travellers who are ready to succumb to their wanderlust in Maldives with Taj – your safe haven away from home.

Sirru Fen Fushi – Private Lagoon Resort, situated in the pristine Shaviyani Atoll, is preparing to host a remarkable celestial celebration this Christmas. In collaboration with SpaceCat Astrotourism, the resort will welcome retired NASA astronaut Dominic A. Antonelli and Analog Astronaut Anisa Qureshi for a series of exclusive events beneath some of the world’s clearest, light-pollution-free night skies.
Renowned for its remote location and unspoiled natural surroundings, Sirru Fen Fushi is among the few destinations in the Maldives that offers visitors a truly dark night sky, where stars shine with unparalleled brilliance. This unique feature makes the resort an ideal destination for astronomy enthusiasts and those seeking a profound connection with the cosmos. This holiday season, not only will champagne glasses sparkle, but the resort’s night skies will also dazzle with the brilliance of stars—and the wisdom of astronauts who have ventured beyond Earth.
The festivities are set to commence on December 24th with a special Meet & Greet during the resort’s Christmas Cocktail Party. Guests will have the opportunity to interact with Dominic “Tony” Antonelli, a veteran NASA Space Shuttle pilot, and Anisa Qureshi, who will share insights from her inspiring experiences as an Analog Astronaut.
On December 25th, Antonelli will present a lecture titled ‘Seeing Home from Space’, offering a rare glimpse into how viewing Earth from space transforms perceptions of home and humanity.
The celebrations will continue on December 26th with Qureshi’s lecture, ‘My Analog Astronaut Mission Experience’, which will explore the rigorous training and exploration involved in preparing for the challenges of space. That evening, Qureshi will lead a stargazing event, ‘Beyond Exploration’, guiding participants through constellations and cosmic wonders while reflecting on humanity’s enduring quest to explore the unknown.
The event will conclude on December 27th with Antonelli’s talk, ‘Journey of a Space Shuttle Pilot’, providing an insider’s perspective on piloting the Space Shuttle and the technical marvels of human space exploration.
This partnership with SpaceCat Astrotourism represents another milestone for Sirru Fen Fushi, whose commitment to sustainability and connection with nature includes offering guests transformative experiences under the stars. The resort’s pristine night skies have become a defining feature of its charm, and this Christmas promises to strengthen that bond with the cosmos through the insights and expertise of two extraordinary astronauts.
Guests visiting Sirru Fen Fushi during this festive season will be invited to look beyond the horizon and into the universe, making this Christmas a memorable fusion of luxury, discovery, and awe-inspiring stargazing.
As the festive season commenced at SAii Lagoon Maldives, Curio Collection by Hilton, the resort embraced a true celebration of tradition, togetherness, and joy. The island paradise marked the beginning of another holiday season with its annual Christmas Cake Mixing event—a cherished occasion that stirred the spirit of the season with every mix, creating an atmosphere of belonging and warmth.
The event extended beyond the preparation of the Christmas cake mix, offering guests an opportunity to connect and forge lasting friendships. Participants from around the world came together to blend a rich, aromatic mixture of dried fruits, nuts, and spices—a combination that embodies the festive season’s essence: warmth, joy, and connection.
“At SAii Lagoon Maldives, Curio Collection by Hilton, we believe in celebrating more than just the season. We celebrate the moments that unite us, the laughter that fills the air, and the stories shared over delicious food. This cake mixing ceremony is a tradition that brings people together in a meaningful way,” remarked Alexander Traeger, General Manager of SAii Lagoon Maldives, Curio Collection by Hilton. “It was our way of inviting guests to not only enjoy festive indulgence but also to become part of a greater family—a family that embraces joy and love.”
Guests of all ages joined the activity, their hands dusted with flour and smiles beaming, as the magic of Christmas began to envelop the island. With each stir of the mixture, the nostalgic aromas of cinnamon, nutmeg, and rum wafted through the breeze, filling the air with warmth and holiday cheer.
