By Kaani Hotels, the leading hotels & guesthouse chain in the Maldives, proudly held its 12th anniversary with a week-long celebration honoring its remarkable journey and commitment to exceptional hospitality in the Maldives.
Starting from humble beginnings with a single 18-room guesthouse, to now operating four properties and expanding toward an over 600-room portfolio, Kaani has been a leading example in the Maldivian tourism landscape since its inception. This celebration commemorates the company’s growth and reinforces its dedication to both employee well-being and community development.
The anniversary represents Kaani Hotels’ success through a series of engaging employee-focused activities. The celebrations began on the 3rd December with a Flag Hoisting Ceremony inaugurated by the CEO, Mr Abdulla Nasheed & COO, Ms Asima Saleem, followed by a special WeRun Edition that was held to highlight health and well-being amongst employees, a Tree Planting Initiative and a team breakfast. Continuing the celebrations, the company conducted several other activities such as team-building fun games, a futsal competition, and a fishing competition to strengthen relationships and boost team spirit, allowing staff to enjoy shared experiences outside the workplace. The events concluded on 9th December with a colorful Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony highlighting and honoring the outstanding achievements of Kaani Hotels’ dedicated employees, reinforcing the company’s appreciation for its team.
As a gesture to recognize and reward long standing employee dedication, Kaani Hotels owners gifted two Umrah pilgrimages to employees selected through a lucky draw, who have completed 5 years of service.
