I recently returned from an amazing trip to the Maldives, where I gained valuable insights on the importance of having a 'unique selling point' (USP) in the hotel industry which is increasingly blurring the lines between true lifestyle and luxury hotels. During my stay, I had the privilege of experiencing the unique offerings of Sonu Shivdasani, OBE’s Soneva Resorts and Crown & Champa Resorts Kudadoo Maldives Private Island. Both these resorts have successfully established clear USP in a competitive market where 35 new properties and 10,735 beds are expected by the end of 2025. Soneva Resorts stands out with its innovative design, sustainability initiatives, and F&B experiences. The launches of Soneva Jani and Secret, along with the introduction of overwater villas at Fushi, has created a buzz by being the first to feature waterslides off their villas, garnering significant media attention and user-generated content. Similarly, Kudadoo Maldives Private Island redefines ultra-luxury with its 'Anything. Anywhere. Any Time.' concept, elevating the all-inclusive experience with meticulous attention to service and premium offerings like a wine list boasting 95 top-tier selections. In a saturated market, it is crucial for brands to constantly evolve to establish a unique selling proposition - no matter how big or small - that not only sets them apart but also maximizes awareness by leveraging competition. #HospitalityIndustry #PointOfDifference #BrandDifferentiation #uniquesellingpoint #sonevaresorts #maldives #hotels #tourism #lifestylehotels #luxuryhotels
