Chedi Hospitality to expand to the Maldives

Chedi Hospitality is set to open a boutique hotel and collection of branded residences in the Maldives.

Located in the North Malé Atoll, the as-yet-unnamed property will feature all-villa accommodation, a beach club, wellness and recreational facilities and dedicated areas for children and younger guests, while the resort’s sustainable on-site organic farming will provide produce for a range of dining venues. 

Developed in partnership with JIH Global Investments, the property is expected to be completed by the end of 2028.

President and group chief executive of Chedi Hospitality, Stephan Schupbach, said: “This partnership represents a meaningful step in our global growth journey, as we bring the Chedi brand to one of the world’s most exceptional destinations.

“Together with JIH Global Investments, we are creating a project that reflects our commitment to thoughtful design, cultural authenticity and a more considered approach to luxury living. The Maldives offers a natural canvas for our philosophy, where simplicity, space and connection to the environment define the experience.”

Group chairman of JIH Global Investments, Mohamed Ali Janah, added: “We are proud to partner with Chedi Hospitality on this landmark development in the Maldives. With over four decades of experience in delivering complex, high-value projects across global markets, our approach has always been rooted in long-term vision and executional excellence.

“This collaboration brings together our deep expertise in luxury hospitality and real estate with Chedi’s distinctive brand ethos, creating a destination that will set a new benchmark for boutique hospitality and branded living in the region.”
