Dusit Thani Maldives has been named as one of the Top Ten Hot New Hotels of 2012 by the acclaimed travel review site TripAdvisor. Dusit International's latest opening was named alongside hotels in Spain, Canada and Vietnam.

Located on Mudhdhoo Island in Baa Atoll, Dusit Thani Maldives is 35-minutes by seaplane from the capital Malé. Blending Maldivian architecture with Thai artistry, the 100-villa resort features Dusit's signature Devarana Spa, uniquely elevated above a grove of coconut palm trees.

The resort's centrepiece is the expansive infinity swimming pool, the largest in the Maldives, a full 750 square metres designed around an ancient banyan tree. Dusit Thani Maldives is an ideal haven to explore the marine biodiversity of Baa Atoll, the first UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve in the country.

One of Dusit Thani Maldives' guests told TripAdvisor "recently opened…it's a wonderful place to go and escape the world…" according to their new release.

Surrounded by a vibrant 360-degree coral reef and turquoise lagoon, this island property features pearl white sandy beaches and a rich landscape of verdant vegetation.  Dusit Thani Maldives is considered a landmark addition to this fast expanding brand.
