Hyatt will be launching its Hyatt Regency brand in the Maldives, to become the third Hyatt property in the Republic of Maldives.

Accessible yet tranquil

A Hyatt affiliate has entered into a management agreement with SingHaiyi for Hyatt Regency Samarafushi Maldives

Located in the North Male Atoll, Hyatt Regency Samarafushi Maldives will mark Hyatt Regency’s brand entry into the Maldive Islands. Slated to open in late 2027, the new all-villa resort will join Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa and Alila Kothaifaru Maldives as the third Hyatt property in the Republic of Maldives.

Located only 25 minutes from Valena International Airport in Malé by speedboat, the resort’s prime location will be a large draw for sun-seekers, culture lovers and marine enthusiasts seeking an accessible yet tranquil retreat. 

North Male Atoll is close to the capital and known for its proximity to popular diving and snorkelling sites where manta rays and hawksbill turtles are frequently spotted. Prime surfing destinations like Pasta Point and Sultans will also be accessible from the resort.

Nestled across 24 acres (10 hectares), the resort will feature 130 well-appointed beachfront, treetop, and overwater villas, all with a private pool. The architectural design by Park + Associates intersects traditional Maldivian architecture with a light and natural palette. 

Food and beverage options include a sunset bar, a beach club, a Japanese speciality restaurant, and an all-day dining concept, as well as a Regency Club lounge.  

A dedicated kid’s club, a marine and diving centre, a fitness pavilion, a yoga deck, and a spa with eight dedicated treatment rooms make up the resort’s amenity options. 

Collaborative spirit

“The Hyatt Regency brand is rooted in a culture of bringing people together and fostering a spirit of community. For more than 55 years, it has inspired Hyatt guests to seek personal connections and professional collaborations in more than 40 countries around the globe,” said David Udell, group president, Asia Pacific, Hyatt

“We’re thrilled to collaborate with SingHaiyi to invite travellers to open their minds and hearts to new perspectives and experiences in the Maldives, one of the world’s most desirable resort destinations”


The Hyatt Regency brand is a global collection of hotels and resorts found in more than 230 locations in over 40 countries around the world. The depth and breadth of this diverse portfolio, from expansive resorts to urban city centres, is a testament to the brand’s evolutionary spirit.
