The Maldives, is fast carving a new identity as a hub for MICE. At the forefront of this transformation is Barceló Nasandhura Malé, redefining the capital city as a stage for corporate gatherings, weddings, and milestone celebrations.
Located just ten minutes from Velana International Airport, Barceló Nasandhura Malé offers seamless connectivity and an ideal setting for both business and leisure travelers. With 136 rooms and 116 serviced apartments, five dining outlets, a luxury spa, the city’s first oceanfront pool, and wellness facilities, the property is designed to balance productivity with relaxation.
What sets it apart is its 1,034 sqm of dynamic event space, including flexible meeting rooms, banquet areas, and two ballrooms that can be tailored for events of all sizes—from boardroom discussions to 600-guest dinners. Its location, infrastructure, and service standards make it a strong contender for the growing Indian outbound MICE market.
Speaking about the opportunity for India, Alefiya Singh, Founder of IRIS Reps, shared:
“Barceló Nasandhura Malé fills an important gap for the Indian market. While the Maldives has always been top-of-mind for leisure, corporates are now exploring it as an exciting destination for conferences and offsites. With its proximity to the airport, versatile event spaces, and excellent connectivity, this property offers exactly what Indian planners are looking for. At IRIS Reps, we are actively reaching out to agents and corporates across India to showcase this potential.”
As the exclusive representative of Barceló Hotels in India, IRIS Reps is spearheading awareness campaigns through trade outreach, training sessions, and marketing initiatives. The goal is to establish Barceló Nasandhura Malé as the go-to choice for Indian corporates, wedding planners, and event organizers seeking a fresh destination with international standards.
With Barceló Nasandhura Malé, the Maldives is set to go beyond being a leisure paradise—it is now a destination where business meets paradise, and events find their perfect stage.
