Singha Estate Breaks Ground on New Resort in Maldives

(25 Nov 2021)  S Hotels, the hospitality arm of Thailand’s Singha Estate, has broken ground on its new SO/ Maldives resort.

Scheduled to open in 2023, the new project is being created by S Hotels, Wai Eco World Developer (WEWD) - a Myanmar-based business and real estate conglomerate, in partnership with Accor.

SO/ Maldives, located on its own island overlooking the azure Emboodhoo Lagoon, will offer a choice of beachfront and over-water villas.

The resort will feature a variety of F&B outlets, a wedding venue, choice of meeting and event spaces, as well as an art deco-inspired beach club with serious Miami South Beach vibes and a plant-based menu.

Guests at SO/ Maldives will also be able to take advantage of the facilities at CROSSROADS Maldives. The Marina @ CROSSROADS is an 800-metre beach walk lined with cafés, restaurants, a beach club, boutiques, a spa, the Marine Discovery Centre and a 30-berth yacht marina.

“It gives us great pleasure to join hands with S Hotels & Resorts and Accor as we break ground on such a prestigious project. CROSSROADS Maldives is one of the most significant developments in the history of the country – and the entire Indian Ocean region – so we are honoured to have been tasked with the wonderful transformation of its third island. SO/ Maldives will attract trend-setters from all around the world and I look forward to bringing this remarkable resort to life in the coming months,” said Zaw Win Maung, Managing Director, WEWD.

SO/ Maldives will become the third accommodation option at CROSSROADS Maldives, joining SAii Lagoon Maldives and the Hard Rock Hotel Maldives.
