Local Island & Boutique Hospitality
Development and management of guesthouse clusters and boutique hospitality assets on inhabited islands, supporting local economic development while generating sustainable returns.
Market Opportunity
The Local Tourism Segment
Since the legalization of guesthouses on inhabited islands in 2009, local island tourism has grown to represent a significant and rapidly expanding segment of Maldivian tourism. This segment offers travelers authentic cultural experiences at accessible price points.
However, the sector remains fragmented with inconsistent quality standards and limited access to institutional capital for expansion and professionalization. This creates opportunity for strategic consolidation and portfolio development.
