Dusit International, one of Thailand’s leading hotel and property development companies, announces the opening of dusitD2 Feydhoo Maldives, a vibrant new all-inclusive lifestyle resort just 7 minutes from Velana International Airport.

Combining contemporary design with warm Thai hospitality, dusitD2 Feydhoo Maldives is the first dusitD2-branded resort in the country and introduces a fresh, modern energy to one of the world’s most iconic destinations. The opening represents Dusit’s continued evolution into experience-led hospitality — offering guests more freedom, flexibility, and personality-driven travel experiences.

Speaking to us at the event about the concept development of dusitD2, Khun Siradej Donavanik, Vice President – Development (Global), Dusit International, stated: “dusitD2 is our upscale lifestyle brand—more youthful, fun, and a little more casual. With our all-inclusive approach, we want guests to feel completely worry-free from the moment they arrive in this island paradise. They shouldn’t have to think about prices—everything is taken care of, whether it’s hospitality, activities, food or immersive experiences that celebrate Maldivian culture. For us, it’s all about delivering the full experience.”

A Playful Take on Island Life

Set on its own private island, dusitD2 Feydhoo Maldives is designed for travellers who seek more than just relaxation — those who value creativity, connection, and effortless fun.

The resort features 127 contemporary villas, each with a private deck and plunge pool, blending Mediterranean tones with tropical textures and subtle Thai accents. The Premium All-Inclusive offering includes à la carte dining across five venues, a curated beverage programme, daily entertainment, and a host of experiences that invite guests to explore, unwind, and reconnect — all included in one seamless stay.

Jean‑Louis Ripoche, Area General Manager – Maldives, explained the brand’s strategic positioning, stating, “dusitD2 Feydhoo is designed to complement—not compete with—Dusit Thani Maldives. It brings a fresh, modern twist to the Dusit brand: vibrant, lifestyle-driven, and all-inclusive. While Dusit Thani offers classic luxury, the idea here is to offer something different—experience-led and contemporary—while staying true to our core values of genuine care, thoughtful service, and attention to detail. We’re catering to a different guest mindset—one that embraces freedom, spontaneity, and social connection, without ever compromising on quality.”

Culinary Discovery Across Five Concepts

The resort’s dining scene is a celebration of flavour and variety, offering something for every palate and mood.

Baraveli is the heart of dining, where guests start their day with a champagne breakfast and return for globally inspired themed dinners in a casual beachside setting.

MIDI, the main poolside restaurant, brings a Mediterranean soul to the island. With sun-soaked terraces, open-air seating and an amazing rooftop for perfect sundowners, it serves up handcrafted pastas, grilled seafood, refreshing salads, and wood-fired flatbreads — ideal for relaxed lunches or lively dinners by the water.

BŌ, the overwater Asian dining destination, delivers refined takes on East and Southeast Asian favourites — from delicate dumplings and bold stir-fries to spiced broths and chargrilled dishes, all served with sweeping lagoon views.

Soi channels the lively energy of Thailand’s street food culture, serving flavour-packed dishes full of Thai soul — think zesty salads, grilled skewers, and wok-fried classics with a contemporary island twist.

Cocoon rounds out the culinary journey with beachside cocktails, small plates, live music, and relaxed sunset lounging — perfect for kicking back after a day in the sun.

Relaxation, Refined

At the core of the island’s relaxation offerings is Namm Spa, Dusit’s signature spa brand. Rooted in traditional Thai healing philosophies, Namm Spa at dusitD2 Feydhoo Maldives offers a carefully curated menu of massages and treatments in a tranquil setting designed for total escape.

While not a wellness resort per se, the property encourages balance through optional beachfront yoga, a sea-view fitness deck, and space to simply slow down and breathe.

Designed with Purpose

dusitD2 Feydhoo Maldives integrates sustainability at every level — from energy-efficient systems and low-impact design to local sourcing, reef-safe amenities, and marine conservation awareness. As part of Dusit’s commitment to sustainability and community engagement, the resort offers guests the opportunity to learn, participate, and give back through curated experiences that connect with local nature and culture.

Yogeswaran Veerasamy, General Manager of dusitD2 Feydhoo Maldives, added:
“Our goal was to create something bold, welcoming, and refreshingly different. dusitD2 Feydhoo Maldives is a place where guests can feel free to be themselves, enjoy high-quality experiences without hassle, and connect with the world — or disconnect completely. We look forward to welcoming guests from around the globe to experience our playful take on island living.”
