Kanuhura Maldives is offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to two creatives to become its Digital Islanders and live on its luxury island resort for a month. Their mission for this opportunity is to indulge in every experience the atoll proposes to its guests and documents it via clips, photos and social media posts.
The program offers Digital Islanders, stays in the island’s Water and beach villas, snorkeling, and diving in the crystalline water escapes to its two deserted islets, dining in the four restaurants, enjoying cocktails in the two bars, and countless other heavenly experiences.
The paradise holiday will be bartered for some serious (but fun) tasks involved from underwater filming during snorkeling and diving trips for video making, photographing decadent breakfast-with-a-view tables before succumbing, creating wanderlust-envy Instagram stories during pre-drinks at sunset and of course, shooting breathtaking aerial photos and clips on the beach.
The creative retreat covers the board and lodging costs on the luxury island resort. The luxury accommodation offered comprises stays at the Water Pool villas, which are located at the edge of the timber walkway, suspended on stilts into the turquoise lagoon on the Eastern side of Kanuhura. In an endeavor to provide a real experience of the accommodation offer of Kanuhura, the Digital islanders will also have the opportunity to stay at one of the Beach villas, nestled in lush greenery and with a direct access to the beach all the way to the glittering lagoon.
The successful digital islanders will benefit from guidance into the luxury branding world by the marketing team of the international hospitality group Sun Resorts, in addition to international exposure for a year on its social media and digital channels. In addition to expanding its international audience and opening new avenues career-wise, living for a month on the island of Kanuhura Maldives represents a rich cultural exchange: Besides the guests from around the world, the team staying on the island is made up of 18 nationalities.
