Dusit Thani Maldives announces key enhancements for 2018
Dusit Thani Maldives has increased its product offering for 2018 with the introduction of new facilities to enhance guest experience.
The new Beach Deluxe Villa with Pool allows guests to enjoy the best of both worlds with their own private beach area complete with terrace and plunge pool overlooking the Indian Ocean. There are currently seven new villas in this category with more in the pipeline. These villas have been enhanced from the existing Beach Villas by adding a private pool at the front of each villa.
Younger guests can now enjoy splashing around in the new water play area in the Baan Sanook Kids Club. A mushroom fountain, jumping water jets and water cannons provide water-filled fun in the sun. The expansion of the Kids Club enhances the resort’s family charm, where kids under the age of 12 stay and eat for free with their parents. Dusit Thani Maldives’ dedicated Family Getaway package gives families something for everyone and can be booked online.
Building on the success of its Borderless Dining programme, guests can now choose from an enhanced variety of idyllic settings and finest cuisines to enjoy private breakfast, lunch, or dinner experiences around the island from a lagoon lunch, to a private in-villa BBQ, or a special trip to a nearby sand bank for the ultimate Maldivian occasion.
The resort has also just completed a new photoshoot to add to its existing image library, increasing the number of visual impressions guests can see before they arrive. The new photos can also be downloaded online.
“This is an exciting year for the resort as we bring new and enhanced facilities to give our guests an enriched stay and an increased variety of activities to fill their days,” said Niclas Prokop, the resort’s Director of Sales & Marketing present at ITB this year.
Located on Mudhdhoo Island in Baa Atoll — the Maldives’ first ever UNESCO biosphere reserve — Dusit Thani Maldives blends gracious Thai hospitality with the unparalleled luxury setting of the Maldives. This luxury island resort comprises 95 villas encircled by white sandy beaches, a stunning 360 degree house reef and a turquoise lagoon. With a unique combination of beach and lagoon accommodation, Dusit Thani Maldives provides an unmatched luxurious escape for all travellers.
The resort offers a 360 degree vibrant house reef compliment with a turquoise lagoon, a 750-square metre infinity swimming pool with a lush Banyan tree in the centre, five restaurants and bars with breathtaking views and a Kids Club that is committed to making children’s dreams come true.
The award-winning Devarana Spa at Dusit Thani Maldives encompasses six deluxe treatment pods, which sit elevated amongst the island’s palm trees. For those who prefer to keep their feet firmly on the ground, the spa has also developed two stunning ground level treatment rooms. Manicure and pedicure-dedicated area, private outdoor pool, steam and sauna are exclusively available for spa guests.
