Discover the New Standard of Luxury in Malé: Barceló Nasandhura Malé Now Open

April 28, 2025

A new chapter in the Maldives’ capital city has begun. Barceló Nasandhura Malé has officially opened, proudly standing as Malé’s very first five-star hotel. Perfectly positioned along the seafront, with uninterrupted views of the Indian Ocean, this new addition is set to transform the experience of urban luxury in the Maldives.

Only a short 10-minute drive from Velana International Airport and directly opposite the Henveiru Ferry Terminal, Barceló Nasandhura Malé offers travelers the ideal blend of city energy and ocean serenity. Whether you’re visiting for business or leisure, the hotel places you at the heart of everything.

Built on the site of the former iconic Nasandhura Palace Hotel, the new property is a collaboration between Browns Investments PLC and Spain’s prestigious Barceló Hotel Group. It offers 136 beautifully designed rooms – many with panoramic ocean views – along with 116 serviced apartments, perfect for extended stays or those seeking a little extra space and comfort.

When it comes to dining, Barceló Nasandhura Malé doesn’t disappoint. Guests can enjoy three signature restaurants, a relaxed snack bar, and BHeaven – a rooftop shisha lounge serving creative mocktails with breathtaking skyline views. Another highlight is Malé’s very first oceanfront swimming pool, offering a peaceful retreat right in the heart of the city.

Wellness seekers will appreciate the hotel’s expansive spa, complete with six luxurious treatment rooms, while fitness enthusiasts can work out with stunning views of the turquoise waters. For those traveling for business, Barceló Nasandhura Malé delivers with over 1,000 square meters of modern MICE facilities, designed to host everything from corporate meetings to grand exhibitions.

This launch is another major step for Barceló Hotel Group in the Maldives, following the successful opening of Barceló Whale Lagoon Maldives in 2024. The group continues to expand its footprint across Asia, managing properties in destinations like Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, the UAE, and Oman.

Barceló Nasandhura Malé is now ready to welcome guests who want to experience a unique blend of city sophistication and island calm — a new way to enjoy the Maldives like never before.
