The Maldives’ most prestigious international hospitality trade event Lily International FHA Maldives 2025 is making a grand return from 7th to 9th September at Central Park, Hulhumalé, bringing together a record-breaking lineup of exhibitors from across the globe.
This year’s edition promises to be the biggest and most diverse yet, with exhibitors coming from Germany, USA, the UAE, China, India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore and beyond.
With the Maldives’ thriving hospitality landscape – home to over 170 world-class resorts and a fast- expanding F&B Sector – FHA Maldives 2025 provides a rare gateway for suppliers looking to connect directly with procurement heads, resort and hotel operators, and large-scale retailers. Exhibitors spanning food production, hotel amenities, safety & security, kitchen equipment, spa & wellness, and apparel will leverage this unique platform to expand exports, test new markets, and secure long-term distribution partnerships.
Adding to the excitement, the event once again hosts the prestigious Global Culinary Challenge, which attracts competitors from more than 20 countries worldwide. New for 2025, the competition also introduces an exciting Tea Sommeliers category – a first of its kind for the Maldives. This addition will spotlight the artistry and expertise of tea professionals, blending tradition and innovation in one of the world’s most beloved beverages. It marks yet another step in positioning FHA Maldives as a platform that celebrates the full spectrum of hospitality and culinary excellence. Last year’s edition saw 400+ chefs battle it out across 21 categories with 600+ entries – and 2025 promises to raise the bar even higher.
Shifting the lens to the exhibition side of FHA Maldives 2025, currently it is already surpassing last year’s performance. With over 150 exhibitors taking part this year, the impact from this exhibition will prove to be blockbuster. With 7000+ international product brands, 100+ exhibitor launches and expecting over 5000 visitors at the exhibition, it will prove to be a successful exhibition for not just the Exhibitors, but for everyone involved. “FHA Maldives has grown into a true hub for international hospitality networking, knowledge sharing, and partnerships,” Imran Hassan, Managing Director, Dhivehi Expo Services Pvt. Ltd stated. “This year’s edition is set to create unmatched opportunities for businesses across the region.” With momentum building fast and exhibitor slots filling up quickly, FHA Maldives 2025 is the must-attend hospitality trade event of the year. Few slots are still available for those looking to be part of this major networking that has continued for over 10 years.
