What hotel chains are there in the Maldives?

It's hard to believe, but back in 1972, only two hotels, Kurumba Maldives 5* and Bandos Maldives 4*, operated in the Maldives. Today, the tourist infrastructure of the Maldives has more than 150 fashionable resorts and many guest houses, and this list is replenished every year. At the same time, both small local hotel chains and world-famous brands are represented on the archipelago.
