Dream Hotel Group has signed two hotels in the Maldives with local entrepreneur Mohamed Manik and Alpha Kinam Holdings. Set to open in 2019 and 2020 respectively, the Chatwal Maaga Maldives and the Dream Gasveli Maldives will triple the group’s current presence in Asia.
On the North Ari Atoll, The Chatwal Maaga Maldives will have 80 "ultra-luxury" villas, six private beach villas and two presidential villas. The Chatwal Maaga Maldives will be the second location to debut in The Chatwal collection of luxury hotels.
The Dream Gasveli Maldives, meanwhile, will be the largest fully-integrated resort ever developed in the Indian Ocean, with 500 villas spanning across three islands in Meemu Atoll.
Late last year, Dream Hotel Group announced the signing of its first hotel in Vietnam with locally owned Beegreen Group. Set to open in June 2017 in Long Hai, Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province, Dream Oceanami Villas & Spa will be the first of four new resort hotels developed by Beegreen Group and managed by Dream Hotel Group in Vietnam over the next two years. Future locations include Vung Tau City, Hoi An, Ho Tram and Con Dao.
Dream Hotel Group plans to sign more than 150 hotels and resorts worldwide across all its brands–Dream, Time, The Chatwal and Unscripted–over the next four years.
“Last year, we signed more new hotels and resorts than ever before,” Dream Hotel Group CEO Jay Stein said in a statement. “This will be a milestone year for us as we welcome an unprecedented number of new hotels into our ever-growing family of brands across the globe.”
