On reaching the shores of Bolifushi island, guests are received with a Traditional Maldivian welcome with Boduberu drumming, fresh coconut water and palm leaf necklaces. The soulful welcome is enhanced by a charming shower of flower petals, umbrella escort from the jetty and a refreshing foot ritual at the arrival lounge by ELE | NA ELEMENTS OF NATURE spa and wellness centre.

THE OZEN COLLECTION creates timeless sanctuaries that exude tranquillity and inspiration. An abundance of sophisticated experiences seamlessly blended with a grand sense of space and design, tailored wellness journeys, and an enriching culture set apart the brand’s two resorts in the Maldives.

OZEN LIFE MAADHOO, the first resort under this brand, opened in July 2016. THE OZEN COLLECTION’s success story continues in the Maldives with the addition of OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI, launched in December 2020.

OZEN SECLUDED TANGALLE takes the brand to the south coast of Sri Lanka and is scheduled to be launched in 2023.
