Set to open at the end of the 2018 year, the Hilton Curio Collection resort is currently under development in the beautiful Emboodhoo Lagoon in the Maldives. This resort will join the large collection of hotels and resorts already owned by the famed Hilton brand and is said to be very large itself, with a total of 198 guest rooms, beach villas, and overwater villas being built. In addition, you'll want to note that this property will be a part of a much larger property which is being titled the CROSSROADS project. This means that both the land based and overwater rooms will be just one part of a larger integrated resort, the first of its kind. This integrated resort is currently being detailed as a leisure and entertainment resort destination and will combine both relaxation with exciting everyday tropical island activities that will span a total of 9 small islands.

Though an exact opening date is not yet known, we will update with booking information once we are informed.

Hilton overwater villas

At the moment, there isn’t much information regarding both the land based rooms and the overwater villas outside of a few design pictures. From a picture however, we can tell that the overwater villas will have some sort of outside private deck and that they will be evenly spaced from one another. It also appears that to reach the very first villa along the line, you’ll have to venture down a wooden boardwalk, which is typical of overwater resorts. Each and every overwater villa looks to have an uninterrupted lagoon view.

 

If you look at the picture at the very top of this news release, you’ll see what the overwater villas are stated to look like. It appears that there may be a few different overwater villa size options.


Resort features and amenities

As the resort is detailed to be on the large size, it can be easily expected to host a sizeable amount of features, amenities, and activity choices. As of now, we know the resort will grant guests access to a few different restaurants and bars, a beach club, various watersports, a cultural centre, a dive centre, a fitness centre, a few duty free shops, and an outdoor swimming pool. It also looks like the resort will be a family friendly resort with a kids club among the features list. Currently it is not known if any of the overwater villas will allow children to stay within. Adding to the long list of amenities is the inclusion of a 50 boat marina.

 

Conveniently, the resort will be just a 15 minute speedboat ride away from the Male International Airport. This is ideal for those who want to treat themselves to an Maldives tropical escape, but would rather skip the long transfers to and from the resort.

    1. Madhu,

      The weather in the Maldives is almost the same all year round, although there are actual variations from island to island because these resorts stretch several thousand kilometers from north to south. My advice is to choose a resort that you might like and then check the reviews from that same month last year and the year before to see what previous guests said about the weather. In most cases guests don’t mention the weather because it’s warm every day and the rain storms tend to last only 20 minutes or less. From late May through early July the rain can last for hours in certain parts of the Maldives, but in August the storms will be over quickly and sometimes they happen overnight.

      Here are our favorite Maldives resorts for families with great activities for kids (and adults).

      Our favorite all-inclusive resorts for great rates is Meeru Island, and it’s pretty good for families, though not the best.

      Aside from that one it’s hard to know which is the best deal because most resorts tend to offer great deals when they are a bit slow, and keep prices high when they are booked up more. It’s best to just go into Agoda.com and put in your travel dates to see which resorts are offering the best all-inclusive deals for that period. Have a great trip. -Roger
