Aiana Hotels & Resorts, a Doha-based hotel management company, has announced the expansion of its portfolio with the signing of a management agreement with Moonriver Resorts to operate its first Indian property. Aiana Munnar - A Moonriver Resort, which is scheduled to open in 2016, is an all-suite villa resort spread across 20 acres of lush greenery.
It will feature authentic dining experiences and an extensive Ayurveda-inspired spa. Each suite in the resort offers a private, heated plunge pool overlooking the rolling hills of Munnar, the company said in a statement. Amruda Nair, joint managing director and CEO, Aiana Hotels & Resorts, said: "The signing heralds an exciting journey for Aiana Hotels & Resorts in India. As our first property in India, Aiana Munnar - A Moonriver Resort solidifies our commitment to offer locally relevant design and authentic experiences."
Aiana Hotels & Resorts has now unveiled plans for managing two hospitality projects - first being the 180-key Aiana Suites and Residences, Doha that will be located in the central business district of West Bay in Doha. Alex Vacha, managing director, Moonriver Resorts, said: "Aiana Munnar - A Moonriver Resort has been envisioned as a grand retreat and luxury resort, created for the discerning traveller looking for a unique experience within a natural environment. A lot of detailing has gone into the finer aspects of the project and traces of local elements have been incorporated to stay true to the destination's rich heritage. The property has been developed bearing in mind the ecosystem and verdant allure of Munnar."
The development also offers a real estate opportunity for buyers to own a part of the luxury resort under the fractional ownership model.
