Land reclamation work has begun for the Hulhumalé Yacht Marina and Cruise Liner area in the Maldive Islands
The planned 300 berth Yacht Marina is a splendid coastal island proposed to be developed in the western side of Hulhumalé Island and will cater to the needs of yachts and water safaris.
The marina forms part of the Hulhumalé development project, that was recently announced by the Maldive Island Government Housing Development Cooperation (HDC).
Mohamed Hameed. director of Asia Pacific Superyachts Maldives, believes such a project will when completed be of great benefit to visiting superyachts and cruise ships
Apart from water sports facilities, the marina will have amenities such as retail shops, F&B outlets, and a yacht club that includes exhibition space, dry berth facilities and boating dock.
There will also be a modern cruise terminal located right next to the marina to facilitate cruise lines visiting Maldives.
The HDC said that all necessary materials have been gathered for the land reclamation, and revetment work is expected to be completed within the next three months.
