Icona Capital, a leading alternative investment group, is pleased to announce its recent acquisition of an island in the Maldives. Situated within a prime location, renowned for its immaculate natural beauty, it marks a significant milestone in Icona Capital’s return to the luxury hospitality sector.

This acquisition presents an exceptional opportunity for Icona Capital to develop an ultra-luxury project. With excellent proximity to both the international Malé airport and the domestic Maamigili airport, the island offers exceptional accessibility for international travellers.

Max-Hervé George, known for his previous success with Ultima Capital in the ultra-luxury hospitality sector, which he founded in 2013, leading it to a successful IPO in 2019 before its sale in 2023, remains deeply passionate about hospitality and property development. “Our goal is to continue reinventing the concept of luxury as we did with Ultima”, said George.

With its track record of success and dedication to excellence, Icona Capital’s acquisition underscores its commitment to investing in unique and high-potential opportunities in the luxury hospitality sector.
