Lead by Capella Hotel Group’s Regional Director of Sales, Liz Rodgers, representatives of Capella Sydney, Capella Singapore, and sister lifestyle brand, Patina Maldives this month travelled to Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney on a weeklong sales Roadshow renewing connections through a series of events and meetings with valued travel industry partners.

Marco Den Ouden, GM of Patina Maldives Fari Islands, does not believe in Googling people, and this undoubtedly helps attract real top-flight celebs. “Look, privacy is an important reason why knowledgable travellers choose to stay here rather than elsewhere in the Maldives,” says the charismatic Dutchman, a would-be artist who was diverted to hospitality.

Capella Hotel Group’s new elevated lifestyle brand, Patina Hotels & Resorts, has this week opened its launch property in the Maldives.
