New Emerald Faarufushi Resort appoints GM

Thursday, 08 Feb, 2022 0

Emerald Faarufushi Resort & Spa, the newest addition to The Emerald Collection and member of The Leading Hotels of the World, has appointed Patrick de Staercke as General Manager.

The resort announced that it is now open for bookings.

De Staercke oversees all operations at Emerald Faarufushi as part of the role, as it prepares to launch on 30 June 2022.

The second Maldivian property in family-owned The Emerald Collection is set on a seven-hectare private island in the archipelago’s Raa Atoll, just 20-minutes by boat from sister property Emerald Maldives Resort & Spa.

de Staercke will oversee the development of nine new Family Villas on Emerald Faarufushi.

He has a strong background in resort operations and management in the Maldives and Asia.

de Staercke joins Emerald Faarufushi from SAii Lagoon Maldives, where he acted as General Manager during the peak of Covid-19.

"I am delighted to be taking up the role of General Manager at such an exciting time not only for The Emerald Collection, but for the entire travel industry. The highlight of Faarufushi, for me, is the natural beauty of the island, both above and below the water," de Staercke said.
