The highly anticipated Barcelo Nasandhura Malé, a luxury destination located in the heart of Malé city, is gearing up to open its doors in Q1 2025. This milestone marks a significant expansion of the Barcelo Group’s presence in the Maldives and beyond.
Located on the site of the former Nasandhura Palace Hotel, the property will offer 136 elegantly designed rooms, including 95 with stunning ocean views, and 116 luxurious serviced apartments. The hotel promises a unique blend of sophistication, comfort, and convenience, making it an attractive destination for both leisure and business travelers.
The property is operated by the renowned Spanish hotel chain Barcelo Group, which has recently solidified its presence in the Maldives with the opening of Barcelo Whale Lagoon Maldives in South Ari Atoll in August 2024. In addition to its Maldivian properties, Barcelo Group manages a range of high-profile hotels across the UAE, Thailand, and several European countries.
Upon completion, Barcelo Nasandhura Malé will feature an array of premium facilities, including four upscale dining outlets, a rooftop shisha bar, an oceanfront pool, a state-of-the-art gym, and a luxurious spa. The hotel will also boast an expansive 1,034 square meters of MICE space, ideal for corporate events and gatherings.
Serviced apartments, originally intended for residential use, will now be available for daily rental, offering guests greater flexibility and a wider range of accommodation options. Minor construction work has led to a slight delay in the opening, initially scheduled for December 1, 2024. However, the team remains committed to ensuring Barcelo Nasandhura Malé is ready to welcome its first guests in Q1 2025.
Barcelo Hotel Group, the second-largest hotel chain in Spain and ranked among the 30 largest globally in terms of the number of rooms, has earned numerous accolades, including the World’s Leading Hotel Management Company 2023. With a strong commitment to excellence and sustainability, the group delivers exceptional stays, seamlessly blending luxury, comfort, and environmental responsibility.
