Outrigger Opens Resort in Maldives

Outrigger has expanded its portfolio of resorts to the Maldives.

The Outrigger Konotta Maldives Resort is a 30-minute luxury speed boat transfer from Kaadedhdhoo Airport in the Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll in the south of the Maldives.

The 53 key all-villa property comprises 24 Beach Pool Villas (2271 sq ft), seven Two-Bedroom Pool Villas (3035 sq ft), 21 Ocean Pool Villas (2421 sq ft), and the Presidential Villa (6458 sq ft).

“Outrigger hosts and supporting contractors in the Maldives have done a terrific job in the run up to our opening,” said Darren Edmonstone, Outrigger managing director for Asia Pacific. “I’m confident our large and wonderfully well appointed Beach and Ocean Pool Villas will become a major talking point in the Maldivian tourism scene.”

The turquoise waters off the Outrigger Konotta Maldives Resort feature a well-formed reef with abundant coral diversity and a great variety of marine life including turtles and eagle rays and regular sightings of dolphins.

“We have very special dining, water sports and excursion options ready for all our guests, no matter where they come from,” said the resort’s general manager, Pascal Billon. “The Outrigger on Konotta Island is shaping up to be a perfect holiday destination for a wide variety of international guests who are seeking an iconic Maldives holiday.”
