Business

Kaani Hotels, a pioneering name in the Maldives’ tourism industry, has marked its 12th anniversary with a week-long celebration highlighting its impressive growth and commitment to exceptional hospitality. Since its inception with a modest 18-room guesthouse, Kaani Hotels has expanded into a thriving chain with four properties and a vision for over 600 rooms, cementing its place as a leader in the Maldivian hospitality sector.

The anniversary celebrations, held from December 3 to December 9, underscored the company’s dedication to its employees and the community. The festivities began with a Flag Hoisting Ceremony, inaugurated by CEO Abdulla Nasheed and COO Asima Saleem, setting a tone of pride and unity. A special edition of WeRun, promoting health and well-being among staff, was one of the highlights, alongside a Tree Planting Initiative and a team breakfast.

Throughout the week, employees engaged in team-building activities, including fun games, a futsal competition, and a fishing contest, fostering camaraderie and team spirit. The celebrations concluded with a vibrant Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony, where outstanding employees were recognized for their contributions.

In a heartfelt gesture, Kaani Hotels gifted two employees, selected through a lucky draw, with Umrah pilgrimage packages in recognition of their dedication and service exceeding five years. This initiative reflects the company’s deep appreciation for its workforce.

“Our 12-year journey is a testament to the incredible dedication and growth of our team,” said Abdulla Nasheed, CEO and Managing Director of Kaani Hotels. “What began as a small guesthouse has evolved into a thriving hospitality group, thanks to the unwavering commitment of our employees. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our partners and guests for their support throughout this remarkable journey.”

Looking ahead, Kaani Hotels is set to expand further, with two new properties scheduled to open in 2025 and the launch of its first resort in Vaavu Atoll planned for 2027. This diversification reflects the company’s ambition to redefine hospitality standards in the Maldives and deliver unforgettable experiences to its guests.

Kaani Hotels’ 12th anniversary stands as a milestone in its journey, celebrating not only its growth but also its unwavering commitment to excellence, employee well-being, and community development.
