Mohamed Ashal, from the nearby local island Hinnavaru, has been a member of the Kuredu Family for just over 8 years; he first joined the team as Luggage Attendant and already in the first year moved to the front of the house where he was Receptionist; his ambitions and excellent performance resulted in Ashal soon being promoted to Front Office Supervisor, and a year ago to the resort’s Assistant Front Office Manager.

Ashal’s colleagues and those of you who have had the pleasure to meet him will agree that he’s a friendly and helpful person always up for a challenge, and it was his hunger for knowledge and experience that earned him a sponsorship by Crown and Champa Resorts to study Hospitality Management at the Maldives National University in 2013-14. In addition to his diploma, Ashal is also proud of his Supervisor or the Month award in 2013.

On the social side of Kuredu Life, Ashal has another important role – he’s the Staff Events Committee President and as such in charge of organising a big portion of the team’s entertainment and leisure activities. He can oftentimes also be seen hosting guest events like the popular weekly Maldivian night and repeaters cocktails. If you exchanged your vows at Kuredu, it is even possible that Ashal was the master of ceremony on your special day. Truly a man of many hats, and – no surprise there – a big fan of football, especially of Manchester United. He still remembers how thrilled he was when repeater guests and by now dear friends of his surprised him with team jerseys for him and his son!

Ashal, as helpful as he is, happily shares his list of 5 must-do activities at Kuredu that no holiday is complete without:
