Dar Global, the luxury real estate developer listed in London as LSE: DAR, and The Trump Organization have announced a major joint venture in the Maldives. The partnership marks two significant milestones, the debut of the Trump International Hotel Maldives and the launch of the world’s first tokenised hotel development linked to the project.

This groundbreaking collaboration introduces the Trump brand to one of the world’s most exclusive island destinations. It also brings an unprecedented financial innovation by tokenising the development phase of a luxury hospitality project for the first time. Previous models have only tokenised assets once they are complete. This new initiative allows investors to participate in a high-growth, premium real estate project right from its inception.

The Trump International Hotel Maldives is scheduled to open by the end of 2028. It will be located just a 25-minute speedboat ride from Malé. The resort is set to feature approximately 80 ultra-luxury beach and overwater villas. These properties are being designed for global travellers seeking the highest levels of privacy, exclusivity and sophistication.

Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of The Trump Organization, stated: “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 tokenization.”

Ziad El Chaar, CEO of Dar Global, added: “Dar Global continues to push boundaries, from developing world-class destinations to pioneering new investment structures. Tokenizing 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.”

This project strengthens Dar Global’s standing as a forward-thinking global developer. It also extends The Trump Organization’s legacy of excellence into one of the world’s most aspirational travel spots. The new venture is poised to redefine both luxury travel and real estate investment, positioning itself as a pioneering force by bringing together high-end hospitality with blockchain technology. It offers global investors a fresh, innovative method to engage in the luxury real estate sector. This initiative will dramatically alter the traditional investment landscape within the hospitality sector.
