He will also be instrumental in helping to build the Regent brand across Asia,” said Lyle Lewis, Vice President of Operations, Carlson Hotels Worldwide - Asia Pacific.

Set in the stunning surroundings of the secluded coral island Maalefushi and about 50 minutes by seaplane from the capital city of Male, The Regent Maldives will have 50 exclusive beach and over-water pavilions and villas.
