Grand Park Kodhipparu, Maldives Nominated in Four Categories at Travel + Leisure Southeast Asia Luxury Awards 2026

Grand Park Kodhipparu, Maldives has been nominated in four distinguished categories at the Travel + Leisure Southeast Asia Luxury Awards 2026, underscoring its reputation as one of the Maldives’ leading boutique island resorts. 

The resort has been shortlisted for: 

  • Best Resort 
  • Best Resort Pools 
  • Best Spa 
  • Best House Reef 

The recognition spans the overall resort experience, including its celebrated pools, serene overwater  spa and vibrant house reef, all the hallmarks that have come to define the guest journey on the private  island resort. 

Now in its ninth year of welcoming guests, Grand Park Kodhipparu continues to deliver refined,  contemporary luxury in an intimate island setting just 20 minutes by speedboat from Velana  International Airport. The four nominations reflect the resort’s consistent commitment to elevated  guest experiences, thoughtful design, and natural marine surroundings. 

A defining feature of the resort is its vibrant house reef, easily accessible directly from the beach and  overwater villas. Home to coral gardens, reef fish, turtles and seasonal marine life, the reef offers  exceptional snorkelling experiences for non-swimmers, novice and seasoned divers alike. 

The resort’s overwater spa provides a serene oceanfront setting for curated wellness treatments, while  its collection of private villa pools and the striking infinity pool overlooking the Indian Ocean offer  uninterrupted views of the turquoise lagoon. 

“These nominations are a proud moment for our entire team,” says Raffaele Solferino, General  Manager of Grand Park Kodhipparu, Maldives. “To be recognised across key elements of the guest  experience, from our flourishing house reef, to our award winning overwater spa and unique boutique  flair delivering honest hospitality, is a wonderful affirmation of the dedication and passion of our  colleagues who strive each day to create meaningful and memorable stays.”

The Travel + Leisure Southeast Asia Luxury Awards celebrate excellence across the region’s  hospitality industry, with winners determined by public vote. Voting is open until 6 April 2026.
