OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI, part of THE OZEN COLLECTION in the Maldives, has been crowned the first-ever ‘Best All-Inclusive Wine List’ Global Winner at the World’s Best Wine Lists Awards 2024. The awards, held on 16th September at Glaziers Hall in London, are organized by The World Of Fine Wine and are known as the most prestigious global wine list awards since their creation in 2014.
This accolade highlights the resort’s exceptional wine offerings, solidifying its position as a leader in the luxury hospitality industry.
Award-Winning Excellence in Wine Offerings
This award recognizes OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI’s outstanding wine program, which features 101 distinct labels from some of the world’s most celebrated vineyards. By offering a diverse selection of authentic wines, the resort provides an unmatched experience for guests seeking world-class value in their wine selections.
Nicolas Laguette, Group Director of Wines, expressed his gratitude, saying,
"We are sincerely grateful for the innovative nature shown by The World Of Fine Wine to introduce its inaugural Best All-Inclusive Wine List as a new awards category this year. Although in its nascent state on the global stage, this category is certain to become incredibly competitive in upcoming years since the experience of wine really develops an entirely new dimension when price is removed from the equation."
He continued,
"For epicureans and those of discerning taste, we have set a new benchmark for exploration into wine here in the Maldives."
He further added,
"We thank our wine partners for their vision to support our now award-winning wine program and proudly present to our guests labels from the most recognized estates in one hand, all the while discovering terroir in the other through bottles sourced from the most secluded regions imaginable."
Recognition for Spirit Selections
OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI also received recognition as the Regional Winner of Asia’s ‘Best Spirits List,’ further elevating THE OZEN COLLECTION’s commitment to providing a world-class beverage experience across its luxury resorts.
A Unique Wine Culture Since 2021
THE OZEN COLLECTION has been nurturing a rich and immersive wine culture, especially since 2021 when hand-picked winery owners were invited to visit the Maldives resorts. During these visits, unique labels were shared with guests, paired with elegant menus, all seamlessly integrated into the RESERVE TM Plan at OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI and the INDULGENCETM Plan at OZEN LIFE MAADHOO.
Nicolas concluded,
"As pioneers in the holiday plan experience, we believe that removing all concerns about the cost of indulgence when relaxing on a dream castaway Maldivian escape fosters an unforgettable experience and truly defines our brand position of Refined Elegance. This position transcends all aspects of luxury, further elevated by curating unique wine experiences complimented by exquisite culinary journeys with every meal."
Upcoming Masterclasses in Champagne and Canary Wine
This winter, guests can look forward to exclusive Champagne and Canary Wine masterclasses hosted by the winemakers of Champagne Guy Charbaut in October and Bodegas Viñátigo of Tenerife in November.
