Marc Gussing Returns to Huvafen Fushi in Maldives as GM

Mr. Marc Gussing has been appointed as General Manager of Per Aquum’s Maldivian retreat, Huvafen Fushi.

Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, Huvafen Fushi is one of the most sought after properties in the Maldives with its highly personalised service, intimate island experience and visionary concepts such as one of the world’s first underwater spas.

Marc is well known to Per Aquum, having previously held the role of Director of Operations at Huvafen Fushi in 2005. “To have the opportunity to come back and lead this exceptional property is incredible. Many of the original team members are still here and it really feels like I’ve come home. I’m looking forward to bringing more daringly different concepts to Huvafen Fushi over the next 12 months and building on the strong foundations that are already in place,” he said.

Marc’s career has taken him across the globe to Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States of America, Monaco, Israel, France, Seychelles, Thailand, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives.

Marc is a Swedish national and speaks four languages including English, French, Swedish, and basic Spanish.

Nick Downing, Vice President of Per Aquum said, “I am delighted to welcome back Marc after working with him ten years ago during the opening years of Huvafen Fushi when we broke the model of the typical Maldivian resort experience. Over the course of his career Marc has held roles ranging from General Management to specialised food and beverage management, estate development and cruise liners. His involvement in all aspects of operational responsibilities gives him a tremendous advantage to evolve Huvafen Fushi for the future. I am confident that his in depth understanding of the unique Per Aquum DNA will enable him to continue to deliver exceptional service and unique experiences for our guests.”

Huvafen Fushi offers 44 bungalows and pavilions both on the beach and overwater. The intimate retreat is just 40 minutes by speedboat from Male.
