Maurice Van Den Bosch, currently the GM of Kuredu Island Resort and Spa has been appointed as the General Manager of Jawakara Islands Maldives, the latest addition to the Crown and Champa Resorts, CCR.

“When it comes to management, I truly believe in the idea of “All for one and one for all”. The success of the resort can only be achieved with the success of the team which operates it. For me, there is no better achievement than having a team that is empowered to provide the best of service and challenge themselves to new heights My all-time favourite cuisine is from a variety of Asian Cultures, including Thai, Vietnamese, Malaysia and India. Always great to get a really good Tom Yam or Spicy Laksa 😉 said, Maurice.
