The 4 star resort,
located in north Male atoll, fought off competition from rivals in the
Maldives,
Sri Lanka and India to win the award, which was presented to Summer Islands Resort
Manager Mariya Shareef at the SATA gala event on Saturday evening.
"I am
delighted to receive the award, which was recognition of Summer Island Maldives
"barefoot, friendly, and affordable" service." Said Mariya Shareef, speaking at
the awards ceremony.
"It's
not just the beautiful beach and the healthy environment that makes Summer
Island Maldives so special, but also the amazing team, their hospitality, and
their hard work. I am really proud that our wonderful resort has been
recognised at SATA." She added.
Summer
Island Maldives is one of the countrys first resorts, and remains wholly
Maldivian
owned. It was recently refurbished, and now boasts fresh and zesty rooms, award-winning
restaurants, a rustic beach bar, a dive school and a spa offering a range of wellness
treatments and massages.
Since
launching in 2016, SATA has quickly established a reputation as South Asias
most prestigious travel awards. The awards have been endorsed by tourism
organisations from across the region, including the Sri Lankan Federation of
Chambers of Commerce and Industry, the Indian Confederation of Associated Tour
Operators, the Nepal Tourism Board, and the Maldives Association of Travel
Agents & Tour Operators (MATATO).
