Set amid lush tropical flora and fauna in the South Ari Atoll, Radisson Blu Resort Maldives has opened its doors on 1st August 2020. The resort’s first guests flew in on the opening day, inscribing an important chapter in the pages of the first Radisson Blu property in the Maldives.
With great anticipation the resort welcomed their first guests with special arrangements and memorable experiences. The guests were presented with a ravishing bouquet of flowers at the Velana International Airport followed by a grand arrival at the resort with traditional boduberu drumming accompanied by over 20 resort employees.
The first arrivals received a certificate as ‘First guests’ at the much awaited debut resort property in the Maldives, under the Radisson Hotel Group international brand.
