Dusit Thani Maldives has been named Best House Reefs at the TTM Awards 2026, recognising one of the resort’s most distinctive natural attractions and its exceptional underwater experiences.

The award was presented during the TTM Awards & Gala 2026, held at CROSSROADS Maldives on 27 August as part of the 10th edition of TTM Maldives. The annual awards celebrate outstanding achievements across the Maldivian hospitality industry.

Located on Mudhdhoo Island in Baa Atoll, Dusit Thani Maldives is surrounded by a 360-degree house reef, providing guests with direct access to a diverse underwater ecosystem just moments from the island’s shores.

The reef is home to a variety of marine life, including colourful tropical fish, sea turtles, sharks and rays. Its proximity to the island creates opportunities for guests to enjoy snorkelling and diving experiences throughout the year.

Celebrating the recognition in true island style, the resort team took the award beneath the surface, capturing it among the coral and marine life that inspired the accolade.

“This award is particularly meaningful to us because our house reef is such an important part of the Dusit Thani Maldives experience. It is something our guests can discover almost from the moment they step into the water, and it reminds us every day how fortunate we are to call this extraordinary island home,” said Jean-Louis Ripoche, Area General Manager – Maldives.

He added that the recognition belongs to the resort’s entire team and everyone who supports, appreciates and helps protect the natural environment surrounding the island.

Situated within Baa Atoll, a UNESCO-designated Biosphere Reserve, Dusit Thani Maldives places its natural surroundings at the centre of the guest experience. In addition to snorkelling and diving, the resort regularly conducts reef and beach clean-ups and encourages guests to participate in marine conservation activities.

The Best House Reefs recognition highlights Dusit Thani Maldives’ commitment to creating meaningful marine experiences while supporting the protection of the surrounding ecosystem. It further reinforces the resort’s position as a destination where luxury island living and immersive encounters with nature come together.
