Rosewood Ranfaru will be situated across a series of private islands around a lagoon in the South Male Atoll.

Located within an hour from Velana International Airport in Male, the capital of the Maldives, the resort can be accessed by either a 35-minute yacht trip or a ten-minute seaplane flight.

Developed by Qatar-based Estithmar, the property will feature about 120 beachfront and overwater villas with one to five-bedroom configurations. All the villas will have private pools, while some of the villas will be situated on private islands.

In addition, Rosewood Ranfaru will include a Rosewood Explorer’s Club, various speciality restaurants, a beach club as well as an Asaya well-being facility and fitness centre, swimming pools and water sports.
