Dar Global, the luxury real estate developer, has announced its partnership with The Trump Organisation to develop the first Trump International Hotel Maldives which will also be the world’s first tokenised hotel development. The hotel will feature approximately 80 ultra-luxury beach and overwater villas. It is set to open by the end of 2028.

This collaboration not only debuts the Trump brand in one of the world’s most exclusive destinations, but also introduces an unprecedented financial innovation, tokenising the development of a luxury hospitality project for the first time. Unlike previous models that tokenise completed assets, this initiative tokenises the development phase itself, offering investors the opportunity to participate in a high-growth, premium real estate project from inception.

Ziad El Chaar, CEO of Dar Global, said, “Dar Global continues to push boundaries, from developing world-class destinations to pioneering new investment structures. Tokenising the development of Trump International Hotel Maldives marks a global first that blends luxury, innovation, and technology in a way that will transform how the world invests in hospitality.”

The Trump International Hotel Maldives is located just 25 minutes by speedboat from Malé.

Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of The Trump Organisation, said, “We are delighted to bring the Trump brand to the Maldives in collaboration with Dar Global. This development will not only redefine luxury in the region but also set a new benchmark for innovation in real estate investment through tokenisation.”
