Set to open at the end of the 2018 year, the Hilton Curio Collection resort is currently under development in the beautiful Emboodhoo Lagoon in the Maldives. This resort will join the large collection of hotels and resorts already owned by the famed Hilton brand and is said to be very large itself, with a total of 198 guest rooms, beach villas, and overwater villas being built. In addition, you'll want to note that this property will be a part of a much larger property which is being titled the CROSSROADS project. This means that both the land based and overwater rooms will be just one part of a larger integrated resort, the first of its kind. This integrated resort is currently being detailed as a leisure and entertainment resort destination and will combine both relaxation with exciting everyday tropical island activities that will span a total of 9 small islands.

Though an exact opening date is not yet known, we will update with booking information once we are informed.

Hilton overwater villas

At the moment, there isn’t much information regarding both the land based rooms and the overwater villas outside of a few design pictures. From a picture however, we can tell that the overwater villas will have some sort of outside private deck and that they will be evenly spaced from one another. It also appears that to reach the very first villa along the line, you’ll have to venture down a wooden boardwalk, which is typical of overwater resorts. Each and every overwater villa looks to have an uninterrupted lagoon view.

 

If you look at the picture at the very top of this news release, you’ll see what the overwater villas are stated to look like. It appears that there may be a few different overwater villa size options.


Resort features and amenities

As the resort is detailed to be on the large size, it can be easily expected to host a sizeable amount of features, amenities, and activity choices. As of now, we know the resort will grant guests access to a few different restaurants and bars, a beach club, various watersports, a cultural centre, a dive centre, a fitness centre, a few duty free shops, and an outdoor swimming pool. It also looks like the resort will be a family friendly resort with a kids club among the features list. Currently it is not known if any of the overwater villas will allow children to stay within. Adding to the long list of amenities is the inclusion of a 50 boat marina.

 

Conveniently, the resort will be just a 15 minute speedboat ride away from the Male International Airport. This is ideal for those who want to treat themselves to an Maldives tropical escape, but would rather skip the long transfers to and from the resort.

  1. Many say Maldives is only for honeymooners, do you think it can be a good place for birthday celebrations?any exciting activities or suggestions?. thank you.

    1. Marolyne,

      It’s true that the Maldives is very popular with honeymoon couples, but I think most of the guests are people who come back every year or every few years. It’s a very addicting place. You definitely wouldn’t be the only ones celebrating a birthday.

      The larger resorts tend to have more options for activities, although honestly most people (especially those who have been before) seem to be happy to relax during the day and party a bit at night. There are boat excursions daily at most resorts, and those can be fun. And there is pretty decent snorkeling below the water villas at most places, although that comes and goes with the tides. -Roger
