Maldives Promotion House – Anantara Resorts, one of Asia Pacific’s leading luxury hospitality companies, has announced the appointment of Mr. Jeffrey F. Seward as Cluster General Manager of the company’s Anantara Dhigu Resort & Spa, Anantara Veli Resort & Spa and Naladhu Maldives properties in the Maldives’ South Male Atoll.

Located around a private turquoise lagoon a mere 35 minutes by speedboat from the island nation’s international airport, the three award winning resorts are heavenly sanctuaries on secluded paradise islands, each with its own distinctive character.

Seward, a graduate of the University of Montana who also holds a Bachelor of Business Administration and Management from Canterbury University, joins Anantara Resorts from Taj Hotels where he held the role of General Manager at Taj Boston in the USA.  Prior to Taj Boston, Seward worked for Ritz-Carlton hotels for nearly 20 years, holding management and executive positions in the USA, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

“Jeffrey’s rich understanding of hospitality and cultures around the globe complements Anantara’s core brand values to further enhance our discerned story collecting travellers’ destination experience in the greatest paradise on earth,” Dillip Rajakarier, Anantara Resorts Chief Executive Officer, said.

Seward succeeds Mrs. Claudia Pronk who is taking the reins as General Manager at Anantara Bangkok Riverside Resort & Spa.
