Atmosphere Core has signed its 10th resort in the Maldives, with ONE BANYAN Amaraa Faru An Atmosphere Hotel scheduled to open in March 2027 in Kaafu Atoll.
The property will
operate under the Atmosphere Hotels & Resorts brand as its ‘An Atmosphere
Hotel’ sub-brand and will be the first resort under the company’s ONE BANYAN
co-branded island concept. The concept is designed to give individual
properties their own identities while retaining a connection to the wider
brand.
Salil Panigrahi,
Co-Founder and Managing Director of Atmosphere Core, said, “As demand for the
Maldives continues to grow and diversify, we are seeing travellers seek stays
that are luxurious yet tailored to their individual needs, and purchasing
decisions increasingly shaped by the quality of experiences rather than
amenities and services alone. With Amaraa Faru, we bring our brand ethos of ‘A
New Experience Awaits’ to life, while also responding to this evolving demand.
At this resort, guests can look forward to a lavish yet grounded sophistication
inspired by the natural rhythm, culture and people of the islands.”
The resort will be
accessible via a 45-minute speedboat transfer from Velana International Airport
and will feature 118 beach and overwater villas, each with a private pool.
Accommodation will range from 100-square-metre beach villas to 164-square-metre
family beach villas and 117-square-metre overwater villas.
The resort’s design
will draw on the surrounding marine environment and traditional Maldivian
palm-leaf craftsmanship. Natural materials, locally inspired textures, Art Deco
elements and eco-conscious finishes will be combined in a palette of cream and
soft green.
Dining facilities will
include an all-day restaurant, a main pool bar and three speciality
restaurants, including Argentinian and Japanese concepts. Other facilities will
include a children’s club, ocean-view gym, dive and watersports centre and
retail promenade.
Wellness facilities
will be provided by ELE|NA Ayur and will include overwater treatment rooms, a
40-square-metre saltwater pool, sauna and steam facilities.
Technology will be
integrated throughout the guest experience, while sustainability measures will
include solar energy solutions, water conservation systems and a no-plastics
approach supported by in-house glass water bottling.
Founded in 2013,
Atmosphere Core currently operates nine resorts in the Maldives across three
brands, with two further developments in the pipeline. The company has also
expanded internationally, with a heritage hotel operating in India and Italy
and more than 20 properties planned across Europe and South Asia. -TradeArabia News Service
