CHEVAL BLANC
On November 15, 2023, Cheval Blanc Randheli – nestled
at the heart of Noonu Atoll in the Indian Ocean – cele-
brated its 10th anniversary. Ten years after its launch as
Cheval Blanc’s second location, Randheli is now one of
the Maldives’ most exclusive destinations, renowned for
its distinctive architecture and the art of hospitality deftly
practiced by its attentive Ambassadors, who craft
bespoke stays for their guests. This idyllic island retreat
invites guests to experience the carefree bliss and
pure indulgence of the tropics at its five restaurants and
four bars, its fine white sand beaches lapped by turquoise
waters, and its Cheval Blanc Spa by Guerlain. Cheval Blanc
Randheli celebrated its anniversary with a special dinner
to mark both ten years since it opened and since Cheval
Blanc’s Saint-Tropez restaurant La Vague d’Or won its
three Michelin stars under chef Arnaud Donckele – who
himself boasts three-star awards for both of his restau-
rants. Under his guidance, Augustin de Margerie and
Matthieu Borde – Executive Chef and Deputy Chef,
respectively, at Cheval Blanc Saint-Tropez – crafted a
meal that fused Provençal and Maldivian flavors at
“Le 1947”, Cheval Blanc Randheli’s gourmet restaurant.
Each of Cheval Blanc’s locations aims to embody the
essence of excellent service, cultivating elegance in
every gesture alongside the arts of emotion, surprise and
wonder. Their “haute couture” approach draws on a
wealth of talent and imagination to ensure every stay is
an unforgettably personalized experience.
