A second Turkish island is coming to the Maldives

I have been traveling to the Maldives since 2003.

I was also there when the earthquake and tsunami occurred in 2004.

I was in the Maldives with my son for New Year's as well.

The Maldives is the best route to travel to warm lands abroad during the winter season in Turkey.

Back then, it was not very possible to go to the Maldives by making a reservation.was not. Youbuy your plane ticket.You can fly via Dubai. Back then, TurkishAirlines(THY) did not have directflights to the Maldives either.

AWhen you land, at Malé airportyou were greeted by dozens of smallagencies. You would negotiateand start your vacation on the island that best fits yourbudget.You would begin your holiday.

Transportation to the islands where you will vacation in the Maldives is provided in 3 ways. From Malé airportairportto the island where you will stay, according to the proximity, if it is close by boat, if it is far by seaplaneorby scheduled flights, you reach the islandyou are traveling to.

Turkish Airlines began direct flibegan to open.

It was around that time that a Turkish investorfrom Ankara, the Aydeniz Group, became the owner of an island in the Maldives and openedits hotel.

The owner of the Ayada Hotel I also had the opportunity to chat with Ülkü Aydeniz on her own island in the Maldives.

Ms. Ülkü mentioned that the Ayada Hotel opened in 2012. Ms. Ülkü

continued.them, “You cannot own islands in the Maldives. A build-operate system isin effect here. You canhold the island for 50 years + another 50 years. We have 400 employees on the island. Tenpercent of the employeesare Turkish. 45 percent of the workers on the island are Maldivianwe have to work. We have people from 28 nationalities working here,” he informed.

There are 1,200 islands in the Maldives. Nearly 200 islands are opento tourism. 120 islands are inhabited by the local population.

The Maldives' population is 400,000.

Even if you marry a Maldivian, you cannot become a Maldiviancitizen.

The Maldives isamong the top places in the worldfor investment.

The first phase of the hotel, which is being rushedto be completed by the end of this year, in time for Christmas and New Year's, consists of 40 villas.

Since there are no islands left to purchase in the Maldives, they are creating an island bypumping sand from the sea.is being built. This is exactly how Max Royal is being constructed.

Max Royal will consist of 3 islands. By the end of this year, the first island will beopened. 40 villas. In other words, by the end of this year, Max Royal will only be able to serve 40 families.

When all 3 islands are completed, Max Royal will have a total of 200 villas across its 3 islands.

Building in the Maldives is also very costly.
