Nominated in Four Categories at Travel + Leisure Southeast Asia Luxury Awards 2026

There are awards that celebrate numbers. And then there are the ones that celebrate feeling.
The quiet excellence of a place that knows how to make people feel held.

Grand Park Kodhipparu has been nominated for four Travel + Leisure Southeast Asia Luxury Awards 2026, Best Resort, Best Resort Pools, Best Spa, and Best House Reef, and each one tells a different part of the same story.

Nine years of tides, and the magic hasn't dimmed

The house reef has always been the island's quiet heartbeat, turtles moving unhurried through coral gardens, reef fish catching the light in colours that don't quite exist anywhere else. It turns first-timers into storytellers and brings seasoned divers back, year after year.

The overwater spa asks nothing of you except to arrive. Treatments designed to slow the world down, with the Indian Ocean as your backdrop and the sound of water doing the rest. Somewhere between the first breath and the last, something in you unclenches.

And the pools, from the intimate privacy of your villa pool to the sweep of the infinity pool over the turquoise lagoon, are the kind of views that make you forget there was ever anywhere else. Golden hour here is not a moment. It's a feeling.

All of this, on an island that has spent nine years quietly perfecting the art of making guests feel genuinely at home. Not just comfortable. Home.

The team behind every unforgettable stay

“These nominations are a proud moment for our entire team,” says Raffaele Solferino, General Manager of Grand Park Kodhipparu, Maldives. “To be recognised across key elements of the guest experience, from our flourishing house reef, to our award winning overwater spa and unique boutique flair delivering honest hospitality, is a wonderful affirmation of the dedication and passion of our colleagues who strive each day to create meaningful and memorable stays.”

If Grand Park Kodhipparu was part of your story — your honeymoon, your first snorkel, your proposal, your reset — voting is now open until 6 April 2026.
