Grand Park Kodhipparu Maldives has unveiled the Kodhipparu Club, marking a groundbreaking moment as the Maldives’ first-ever private island membership concept. This innovative initiative is designed to bring together local residents, expatriates, and frequent visitors in a vibrant, shared lifestyle environment.Located just 20 minutes by speedboat from Male, the award-winning resort is redefining its guest experience. Moving beyond traditional overnight stays and day visits, the resort now offers a structured membership model that provides regular access to its world-class facilities, curated events, and exclusive experiences—without the need to stay overnight. The launch of Kodhipparu Club aligns with a growing global trend, where private membership clubs are experiencing renewed popularity in cities like London, New York City, Dubai, and Singapore. Once associated with elite exclusivity, these models are now expanding into hospitality, wellness, and travel—offering continuous lifestyle engagement rather than one-time experiences. This evolution reflects a broader shift in traveler and resident preferences. According to the resort’s 2026 strategy, people increasingly seek purpose, connection, and meaningful interactions, valuing ongoing access to enriching experiences over occasional visits.
