OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI Triumphs at the World's Best Wine Lists Awards 2025

Maldives, November 3, 2025: In a celebration of craftsmanship, curation, and culinary excellence, OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI has once again captured the world's attention—this time through its stellar performance at the World's Best Wine Lists Awards 2025, hosted at London's iconic Savoy Hotel. The Maldivian private island resort achieved a stunning double win, securing the titles of 'Best All-Inclusive Wine List in Asia' and the distinguished 'Jury Award', solidifying its position among the world's most exceptional dining destinations.

A Toast to Excellence

Curated by The World of Fine Wine, one of the most respected authorities in global viniculture, the awards recognise the most outstanding wine programmes across 21 categories worldwide. Judged by a panel of Master Sommeliers, Masters of Wine, and acclaimed experts, each list is evaluated for its depth, originality, and balance.

Earning such recognition places OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI shoulder-to-shoulder with the planet's finest restaurants and cellars, a remarkable feat for a resort set amid the crystal-clear lagoons of the Maldives. Building on last year's historic win at the World's Best Wine Lists Awards, this consecutive achievement cements the resort's reputation as a leader in luxury hospitality.

Where turquoise waters meet timeless vintages – redefining luxury one glass at a time.

The Philosophy Behind the Pour

"To be honoured with this global recognition for a second consecutive year is both thrilling and deeply humbling," shares Nicolas Laguette, Director of Wines, Atmosphere Core.

"We believe a perfect holiday must be paired with a perfect glass of wine, it should never feel like an extra but a natural part of the journey. Seeing our team's dedication, from curating over 100 labels to weaving them seamlessly into the RESERVE™ Plan, celebrated at this level is truly rewarding. It reaffirms our belief that world-class wines belong in every moment, from the first toast to the final sunset."

The RESERVE™ Plan – Wine Without Boundaries

At OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI, wine is not an afterthought-it is part of the resort's DNA. Guests are welcomed into a sensorial journey the moment they arrive. Each villa features a personal maxi bar, thoughtfully replenished daily to introduce guests to the resort's curated cellar. The RESERVE™ Plan, with its over 100 premium wines, champagnes, and spirits, ensures that every meal, moment, and memory is complemented by the perfect pour-morning to midnight.

CUVÉE: The Heart of the Experience

The resort's CUVÉE wine library stands as the epicentre of its wine programme—a sanctuary for oenophiles. Here, sommeliers double as storytellers, leading intimate tasting sessions and pairing journeys that marry fine vintages with gourmet artistry. These experiences are not merely tastings - they're narratives of terroir, craftsmanship, and connection.

A Collection Defined by Passion

This commitment to viniculture extends across THE OZEN COLLECTION, which includes OZEN LIFE MAADHOO. Both islands bring the world's vineyards to the tropics, hosting celebrated winemakers such as Champagne Guy Charbaut (France) and Bodegas Viñátigo (Spain's Canary Islands) for immersive masterclasses and culinary collaborations.

The resort's dedication to wine excellence is further enhanced through strategic partnerships, including the recent golden alliance between Atmosphere Core and Bottega to elevate wine hospitality. Guests can also savour rich wine experiences across the Maldives at various Atmosphere Core properties.
