Preliminary Property Listings

960Maldives.com does not claim ownership of property names, brands, trademarks, logos, official photographs, copyrighted descriptions, videos, or other third-party materials. Rights to such materials remain with their respective owners or rights holders.
If a property already has a preliminary listing, an authorized property representative may submit a Claim an Existing Property request.
List a New Property
Property owners, managers, management companies, reservation teams, sales and marketing representatives, and other authorized representatives may submit eligible properties that are not currently listed on 960Maldives.com.
New property submissions are reviewed before publication.
