Hotelier Maldives Awards 2025 set to rock with ‘2ofus’ as lead performers
Hotelier Maldives is pleased to announce that ‘2ofus’, the Maldivian band that recently secured second runner-up at India’s Battle of the Bands International, will be the Lead Performer at the Hotelier Maldives Awards 2025 gala ceremony. The event, presented by Bestbuy Maldives (BBM), will take place at Barceló Nasandhura Malé on June 14, 2025.
The Hotelier Maldives Awards were launched in 2024 to honour outstanding individuals in the Maldives’ hospitality and tourism industry. The inaugural edition garnered more than 300 nominations and over 100,000 public votes. For 2025, the awards have seen even greater interest, with 450+ nominations and 600,000 public votes cast following a rigorous shortlisting and judging process. This year’s edition also features four new award categories, further recognising the diverse talents in the country’s tourism workforce.
Commenting on the announcement, Ali Naafiz, Editor of Hotelier Maldives, said: “The Hotelier Maldives Awards celebrate the people behind the success of the Maldives as a world-class tourism destination. ‘2ofus’ represents the same spirit of ambition and talent, pushing boundaries and gaining recognition beyond our shores. We’re thrilled to have them lead the entertainment at this year’s ceremony. Their performance will add energy and pride to a night dedicated to our industry’s most exceptional individuals.”
The band, which includes Ahmed Adhuham (Lead Vocalist), Abdulla Shamrooh, Mohamed Nasooh bin Nasruddin, Ahmed Shaheed (Shaheed Legacy) and Ahmed Jasheem, rose to national prominence following their international success in India and have since become one of the Maldives’ most popular live acts.
Expressing his excitement, Ahmed Adhuham, Lead Vocalist of ‘2ofus’, said: “It’s an honour for us to be part of this prestigious event that celebrates the people who keep the Maldivian hospitality industry thriving. We’re proud to represent Maldivian music on an international stage, and now we’re just as proud to bring that same passion to the Hotelier Maldives Awards 2025. It’s going to be a night to remember!”
