LOUNGE & PUBLIC QUARTERS

The design of the Waterfront Hotel at Maldives is an exercise in simplicity. The hotel’s guests tend to be on the more youthful and casual end, expecting clean and professional accommodations that will not distract them from the alluring sea and beaches that surround the hotel. Closed walls are kept to a minimum with marble stone columns providing support and extensive use of tall windows offering immaculate views. An unfinished ceiling is garnished with large rows of canvas evoking the feeling of lounging in a large avantgarde beachfront tent.

GUESTROOMS

The appreciation for the sea is tantamount to the guestroom design. Beds are oriented to the vista outside, and the use of an open partial partition in the washroom area means that every corner of the room offers stunning ocean views. Simple materials and fixtures, such as oak floors, marble countertops and balconies, and gray and blue wallpaper, offer a cool and comforting palette that does not interfere with the main attraction outside the room’s windows.
