I recall Hitman once posting a few pics of the resorts his company was building. ;p
So many resorts..so little money
I think Starwood is also building some villa only resorts. Very exclusive stuff.
Hi there, lovely pictures indeed!
You booked the accom, SQ, seaplane, etc on a seperate basis? Don't they have a package deal for Hilton Maldives?
$8k+ for 8 nights per person?????? or for 2?
What are the available activities you did there over the 8 days?
:sweat: I'm really honoured...Really, I'm not that good...just that I'm at the correct place and at the right time. I still lots and lots of things to learn.

Any underwater fotos to share? I presume you did scuba diving while you are there too right? It will be a waste if you didn't.

Thanks Bro!
Oh...so Hitman is the developer is it? :thumbsup:
Oh yeh, I'm monitoring the progress of the new Starwood resort, the one I know is already open, under the W-hotel chain. The cheapest villa rate is USD1300++ per night, max at USD5100++ per night per room!! :bigeyes:
Shangrila currently building their flagship at the south of Maldives, near to the new Gan international airport.
The hotel giants are at War in MaldiveS!!

Hi Pauche, thanks for ur comment.
Depends on resort, for some it's cheaper to book direct and others thru local or Maldivian based agent. i.e Hilton direct is cheapest.
Resort will always arrange seaplane for us, thus we just book accom and SQ flight seperate.
Around S$8k++ for 2 pax. Same for Hilton and Mirihi. For Hilton I stayed in the cheapest(beach villa) and the most ex villa(Sunset water villa, after averaging out, it's S$8K loh.
For Mirihi, water villa rates is ard USD270 per night, so all in also S$8K.
Hmm.... I did some diving, spa, sunset fishing, fine dining, snorkelling, sun-tanning, star gazing(brought my telescope there), glass bottom boat cruise, sunset cruise, BBQ cruise etc...... the list goes on and on....but everything there cost money lah, have to really budget properly.
If u interest in going, can pm me, I can forward u brochure, price list and other tips to save money! :sweat: don't worry I'm not travel agent.... kekekek..

No, I'm not a developer, I'm the.. (ahem).. Financial Controller, I press calculator and count money...
Many new hotels are coming up in the next 2-3 years. So once the supply and demand increases, the rates will also be adjusted somehow. The challenges we have is logistics, everywhere you go, you need a boat. Not just having boats, you need to look at the weather and the tides... back during the construction period, we have construction materials coming in, but got stuck at the reef because the tide is too low, have to wait til midnight for high tide to bring the barge in... Lots of other challenges in making things happen here. But it's worth the hard work, and I'm proud to be part of the team in the re-building of the resort that was hit by the tsunami and also the construction of the new resort which opened 3 days ago...

Eh Hitman, can give discount onnot? You financial controller right? Give some ClubSnap discount lar.. we organize Mass Visit (MV) !!! ;p
BTW, to those going to ClubMed, please check with them to see if they have mass visitors from China. In my recent trip there, they were recovering from a very large and rowdy tour group and the guests I met were not happy at all. To cut it short, super kiasu attitude, loud voices, a lot of drunks and vommitting in the dining area. These guys are really not helping themselves improve their image abroad!!
