Chedi Dhapparu: Earthly paradise
The Chedi Dhapparu resort, in the Maldives, embodies a perfect match between the architecture and the site that hosts it. This isn’t a simple task, considering the sumptuous character of the location: a post-card perfect scene of white sandy beaches and turquoise lagoons. Yet the resort, with its 40 suites and 85 residences, perfectly lives up to the remarkable location.
“The GHM Group decided on the direction in terms of design and the architect tasked with implementing it,” explains Hans Jenni, President of the prestigious General Hotel Management chain. “Throughout our long relationship, Reda repeatedly proved his ability to develop our architectural vision and, together with his team, to translate and express on paper the philosophy, in an expert way.” Thus, this very high-end resort, equipped with the best facilities and offering the best services, took form in the plans. It creates opportunity for the visitors to experience luxury in all its forms, the rarest without a doubt being the contact with the still untouched natural splendour.
