Atmosphere Core has signed its 10th resort in the Maldives, ONE BANYAN Amaraa Faru An Atmosphere Hotel, Maldives, which is scheduled to open in March 2027. The property will be part of Atmosphere Hotels & Resorts under its ‘An Atmosphere Hotel’ sub-brand and will be the first resort in the ONE BANYAN series of co-branded island resorts.

Located in Kaafu Atoll, the resort will be accessible via a 45-minute speedboat transfer from Velana International Airport. It will feature 118 beach and overwater villas ranging from 100 sq m to 164 sq m, with each villa offering a private pool.

The resort will offer an all-day dining restaurant, a main pool bar and three speciality restaurants featuring Argentinian and Japanese cuisine. Facilities will include a kids’ club, ocean-view gym and fitness centre, dive and water sports centre, retail promenade, and an ELE|NA Ayur spa and wellness centre with overwater treatment rooms, a 40 sq m saltwater pool, sauna and steam facilities.

The property’s design will draw from the surrounding marine environment and traditional palm-leaf craftsmanship, combining natural materials, locally influenced textures, Art Deco elements and eco-conscious finishes.

Commenting on the announcement, Salil Panigrahi, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Atmosphere Core, said, “As demand for the Maldives continues to grow and diversify, we are seeing travellers seek stays that are luxurious yet tailored to their individual needs, and purchasing decisions increasingly shaped by the quality of experiences rather than amenities and services alone. With Amaraa Faru, we bring our brand ethos of ‘A New Experience Awaits’ to life, while also responding to this evolving demand. At this resort, guests can look forward to a lavish yet grounded sophistication inspired by the natural rhythm, culture and people of the islands.”

Sustainability measures will include solar energy solutions, water conservation systems and a no-plastics approach, including in-house glass water bottling.
