Integrated Facilities & Amenities

- Thulusdhoo Island Advantages:
- Built-in Infrastructure: Power, water, sewage, staff housing, and community services are established, reducing development risk and cutting annual operating expenses by an estimated 40% compared to private islands.
- World-Class Surfing: One of the few spots in the Indian Ocean with two legendary breaks (Cokes and Chickens), offering surfable swells 200 days a year.
- Exceptional Diving & Marine Life: 19 top dive spots nearby. The hotel’s aquatory features “Shark Point” – a safe, spectacular area to observe blacktip reef sharks, rays, and turtles directly from the beach.
- Vibrant Local Community: Offers an authentic Maldivian cultural experience alongside pristine white-sand beaches.
Other Information
The Investment Case: High Yield in a Protected Niche
1. Robust Market Fundamentals:
- Rapid Recovery: The Maldives was the first global destination to recover to pre-COVID tourist levels by 2022.
- Strong Growth: Tourist arrivals have grown at 7.5% annually for the last decade.
- High Spend & Long Stays: Tourists spend an average of 7.9 nights and $512 per day. 65% are wealthy tourists from G20 countries.
- Capacity Boost: The new Velana Airport terminal (mid-2025) will increase capacity 3.5x, fueling further demand.
2. Addressing an Underserved Market:
- Supply Gap: While 80% of new hotels (20+ in 2025) are luxury ($700+/night), there is no affordable upscale offering for private investors.
- Clear Demand: Over 40% of tourists target a daily budget of $200-$350 for premium comfort—our exact segment.
- Limited Competition: Only 185 of 1,190 islands are inhabited, and new projects require complex government approval, creating a high barrier to entry.
3. Brand & Operational Advantage:
- Managed by the #1 lifestyle brand, the project benefits from:
- +18-25% Higher Occupancy
- +30-40% Higher Average Daily Rate (ADR)
- Global distribution and loyalty programs.
Return on Investment (ROI) & Exit Strategy
Return on Investment:
- Target Annual Rental Yield: 12-14%, derived from a share of the hotel’s net operating profits.
- Value Drivers: High occupancy from airport proximity, premium ADR from brand management, and lower operational costs from the inhabited island model.
- Capital Appreciation: Potential for property value increase due to the unique offering, scarcity of upscale investment products, and overall market growth.
Exit Strategy:
Investors have a clear and protected path to liquidity:
- Secondary Market Sale: You can sell your leasehold title to another qualified private investor on the secondary market. The project’s unique positioning and income history are expected to support strong resale value.
- Developer Buy-Back Option: (Subject to final terms) Teus Group may offer a structured buy-back option after a minimum holding period (e.g., 5-7 years) at a pre-agreed formula, providing a potential capital gain exit.
- Refinancing: The registered leasehold title can be used as collateral for securing financing, if needed.
Investment Protection & Legal Framework
The Maldives offers a secure environment:
- British-Based Legal System: Robust and globally recognized.
- International Treaties: Member of the ICSID Convention, ensuring dispute resolution.
- Government-Registered Leasehold: Your ownership is secured via a lease contract with the Maldivian government.
- Differentiated Business Law: A separate legal regime for investments, independent of local personal laws.
This is a rare opportunity to co-own a sustainable, high-yield asset in the world’s most coveted tropical destination, backed by institutional expertise and positioned in a vast, undersupplied market.
