Barceló Nasandhura Malé becomes the first 5-star hotel in Malé. On the seafront and with unobstructed views of the Indian Ocean, this newly opened city hotel will have 136 elegant rooms, 116 designer apartments, and premium office spaces. 

This new opening strengthens Barceló’s expansion in Asia, where it currently operates across six countries. This is the hotel group’s second opening in the Maldivian archipelago, joining Barceló Whale Lagoon Maldives, which opened last year.

Barceló Hotel Group continues its international expansion with the opening of Barceló Nasandhura Malé, the first five-star hotel in the capital of the Maldives.

In the Indian Ocean, the Maldives are made up of 26 atolls and 1,200 small islands. With its year-round warm temperatures, crystal-clear waters, white sandy beaches and rich marine biodiversity, the archipelago is a true paradise, and the perfect setting for swimming all year round.

The Maldives, key to expansion in Asia 

With this new opening, Barceló Hotel Group reaffirms its commitment to increasing its presence in Asia where it currently manages 11 hotels in six countries: Maldives, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, UAE and Oman. 

Barceló Nasandhura Malé is the group’s second hotel in the Maldives, where just over a year ago it opened Barceló Whale Lagoon Maldives, a 5-star resort comprising 100 luxury villas, 30 of which are overwater. This hotel is located on the Bodufinolhu island, in the South Ari Atoll, next to the South Ari Marine Protected Area (SAMPA), one of the world's most renowned destinations for spotting whale sharks. This strategic location makes it one of the best resorts for diving enthusiasts.
