New ecological beauty in the Maldives - ALiLA Villas
ALiLA Villas an ecological beauty in the Maldives
The isles of Maldives are like a magnet for travellers. Its maze of lagoons and reefs in azure waters is the natural beauty that ALiLA Hotels and Resorts strive to protect as they bring it to the attention of the world.
In 2007, ALiLA Hotels and Resorts and award-winning SCDA Architects will share the Maldives with the new ALiLA Villas Hadahaa and Lonudhua.
Principal architect Chan Soo Khian is a Yale-trained architect and has an illustrious history with Asian architecture, including the Dua Residence condominium in Kuala Lumpur, the KL Gold and Country Club, and the award winning Ladyhill in Singapore.
“I relate to Alila’s operating philosophy of creating an ecological and luxurious resort,” said Chan. “The island sites at the southern atoll of the Maldives are spectacular locales with excellent diving.”
Chan has not just placed a building onto the spectacular atoll; he has melded the culture of the place into the physical structure. He has designed the villas so that they engage with nature by making sure that they do not conceal the best of the area, but complement and enhance it.
“I design with a humanistic approach that responds to the climatic and cultural conditions of the context,” said the architect. So much so that even the two jetties and an arrival point were provided just to deal with tidal changes, as well as developing a rainwater harvesting system that “ensures the pollution to the island is minimalised.”
While the environment is a top priority for ALiLA, they also make the wellbeing of the guests a main concern. ALiLA Villas will feature Spa ALiLa with exciting spa concepts that integrate luxurious fittings and stunning settings.
ALiLA Villas embrace the ecological, the contemporary, the cultural, and the luxurious to ensure the most complete experience of the Maldives that any one could ever have.
