Set to open in 2026 in the pristine Raa Atoll, Bvlgari Resort Ranfushi will become the tenth jewel in the Bvlgari Hotels & Resorts collection. Spread across 20 hectares of untouched natural beauty, the resort promises a refined island escape where Italian design meets Maldivian serenity. The resort will be designed by the acclaimed Italian architectural firm ACPV ARCHITECTS Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel and developed in accordance with Bvlgari’s highest sustainability standards.

Bvlgari Resort Ranfushi will feature 54 keys, including 33 beach villas with private pools, 20 overwater villas, and an ultra-exclusive Bvlgari Villa located on its private island. Guests will also have access to four of Bvlgari’s celebrated dining concepts: Il Ristorante – Niko Romito, the Chinese fine-dining destination Bao Li Xuan, the minimalist Japanese restaurant Hōseki, and the laid-back beachfront eatery La Spiaggia. Other signature elements include The Bvlgari Bar, The Bvlgari Spa, a Bvlgari boutique, and La Galleria, which together round out a truly immersive lifestyle experience.

Before joining Bvlgari Resort Ranfushi, Enver served as Area General Manager for JOALI Maldives, JOALI BEING, and BIJAL Turkey—three properties united by vision but distinct in personality. He first joined JOALI in 2017 as part of its pre-opening team. Enver was instrumental in laying the operational and creative foundations that helped define the resort’s pioneering identity as the Maldives’ first immersive art and design-focused destination. In 2021, he was appointed General Manager of JOALI Maldives, and under his leadership, the resort experienced significant growth, earning critical acclaim for its elevated guest experiences and innovative programming. He was later promoted to oversee JOALI’s wider portfolio, bringing cohesion and excellence across regions.

Now at the helm of Bvlgari Resort Ranfushi, Enver brings more than experience; he brings vision. His ability to build teams, elevate guest journeys, and honour the essence of place positions him perfectly to lead Bvlgari’s newest venture. With this appointment, Bvlgari is not only a seasoned operator but also a thoughtful leader with a proven ability to transform ideas into enduring luxury experiences.

Enver Arslan’s story is one of evolution, grounded in values that transcend trends, joy, integrity, intention, and a quiet mastery of detail. From shaping the narrative of JOALI to now guiding the future of Bvlgari in the Maldives, his journey is a testament to the fact that true hospitality is not just delivered; it’s felt.

From all of us at Travelution, we extend our heartfelt to Enver on this exciting new chapter.
