In a remarkable achievement for the Maldives tourism industry, SAii Lagoon Maldives, Curio Collection by Hilton, has once again earned international acclaim by winning the prestigious Connie Award, the highest honour bestowed by Hilton Worldwide. This marks the second time in just three years that the vibrant island resort has been recognized with this coveted distinction, reaffirming its place among the finest in Hilton’s global portfolio. Notably, SAii Lagoon Maldives stands as the only Hilton property in the Maldives to have secured this recognition in both years.

The Connie Award, named in tribute to Conrad Hilton, the visionary founder of Hilton Hotels, is reserved for top-performing properties that demonstrate excellence across guest satisfaction, brand standards, and quality assurance. More than an acknowledgment of success, the award celebrates a commitment to heartfelt hospitality, meaningful service, and the creation of memorable guest experiences that embody Hilton’s founding principles.
With fewer than 1% of Hilton hotels worldwide earning the Connie Award each year, the honour is both rare and deeply esteemed. SAii Lagoon Maldives, Curio Collection by Hilton, has embraced this recognition with warmth, authenticity, and a dedication to delivering extraordinary experiences for every guest. Visitors are welcomed not merely as travelers, but as part of the SAii family — a spirit that sets the resort apart in the hearts of those who stay.
Reflecting on this proud moment, Alexander Traeger, General Manager of SAii Lagoon Maldives and CROSSROADS Marina, said, “This is not a win for an establishment or a brand; it is a win for every SAiiLander who puts heart into everything they do. Our team brings their personalities, their stories, and their smiles to work every day. That energy is what our guests remember, and this award is a tribute to that team spirit.”
SAii Lagoon Maldives continues to enhance Hilton’s growing presence in the Maldives, joining the distinguished ranks of Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi, Conrad Maldives Rangali Island, and Hilton Maldives Amingiri Resort & Spa. While each Hilton property in the Maldives offers its own distinctive charm, SAii Lagoon’s playful, welcoming atmosphere and genuine service have forged a special connection with guests, creating memories that last a lifetime.
For travelers seeking a vibrant and heartfelt Maldivian escape, SAii Lagoon Maldives, Curio Collection by Hilton, promises an experience that combines the natural beauty of the Indian Ocean with world-class hospitality, now recognized twice on the global stage with the Hilton Connie Award.
