Ennismore, the fastest-growing lifestyle and leisure hospitality company, announces the signing of Mondrian Maldives, set to open on Kuredhivaru Island in 2026. Located just a 45-minute seaplane flight from Male International Airport, the resort is on one of the only handful of exclusive islands within the Noonu Atoll.
Before being reimagined into a Mondrian, the property will operate as Kuredhivaru Resort & Spa under Ennismore’s management. Previously flying the Movenpick flag, Kuredhivaru Resort & Spa will continue to be bookable on ALL.com and remain part of ALL, Accor’s loyalty programme and booking platform. This transformation underscores the owner’s and Ennismore's commitment to elevating the destination into a lifestyle brand under Mondrian.
Always delivering on creativity with a progressive, forward-thinking approach, Mondrian Maldives will reveal itself through a series of dream-like spaces inspired by the worlds of modern design, art, and culture.
The sleek aesthetic extends to the resort’s 105 villas, which include 30 beach pool villas cradled in lush greenery, 72 overwater pool villas with endless views of the surrounding turquoise waters, and three-bedroom beach pool residences offering direct access to the island’s white-sand beaches. Every villa features a private pool, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in the pristine sanctuary of this tropical oasis.
True to Mondrian’s reputation as a cultural connector, the resort will provide programming and experiences that reflect the Maldives’ rich and diverse culture. Designed to engage the senses, guests can revitalise their spirits at the resort’s spa, recharge and strengthen at the gym, or take the plunge to explore the Maldivian reefs at the diving centre.
A yoga pavilion, tennis and volleyball courts, and swimming pools are available, while younger guests can take full advantage of the kids’ club. For the foodies, cutting-edge culinary and mixology experiences are on the menu, with four restaurants and bar venues.
Phil Zrihen, Brand COO for Mondrian Hotels at Ennismore, said: “Surrounded by stunning beaches and turquoise waters, Mondrian Maldives will create the perfect sanctuary for our guests. Where bold design intersects with island style, the resort realises new dream-like spaces where guests can escape into nature’s wonders on a secluded private island. In bringing Mondrian’s oversized imagination to the Maldives, we hope to raise the bar as a cultural and culinary destination in the islands.”
Rooted in art, design and culture, groundbreaking interiors, immersive art installations, and inventive culinary experiences are hallmarks of a Mondrian. With ten properties at the forefront of some of the world’s most exciting established and emerging cultural hubs in Singapore, Los Angeles, Miami, Doha, Mexico City, Cannes, Bordeaux, Seoul, Hong Kong and Ibiza, the brand is experiencing exciting growth, opening in key destinations including in Abu Dhabi, Tulum, Dubai and Australia’s Gold Coast.
