Dar Global, the London-listed luxury real estate developer, and The Trump Organisation have announced two global milestones: the launch of the Trump International Hotel Maldives and the world’s first tokenised hotel development tied to the project.
The collaboration brings the Trump brand to the Maldives for the first time while pioneering a new financial model that tokenises the development phase of a luxury hospitality project. Unlike previous initiatives that focused on tokenising completed assets, this model allows investors to participate from inception, opening access to a premium real estate opportunity at an earlier stage.
Located just 25 minutes by speedboat from Malé, the Trump International Hotel Maldives will comprise around 80 ultra-luxury beach and overwater villas designed for privacy, exclusivity and sophistication. The resort is expected to open by the end of 2028.
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.”
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 initiative highlights Dar Global’s strategy of merging high-end real estate development with cutting-edge investment solutions. It also expands The Trump Organisation’s global portfolio into one of the world’s most sought-after destinations, marking a new chapter for both brands at the intersection of luxury travel and financial innovation.
