The Yacht Marina @ CROSSROADS - All You Need to Know BEFORE You Go (2024)

The Crossroads – Maldives’ First Ever Yacht Marina Luxury Resort

To say that the Crossroads Maldives is what the height of leisure and luxury looks like could prove to be an understatement. The project, set to open this coming July 2019, is evidently ambitious in its scope. And rightly so, for the jewel that is the Maldives deserves nothing less.

The Crossroads more than earns its name for it is literally connecting three islands, each of which is like a shell that has its own unique pearl that’s waiting to be revealed and marveled at. Likewise, its moniker also connotes a place where numerous cultures intermingle, a perfect tribute to what the Maldives essentially is.

A haven for yachting aficionados

The Marina is certainly one of the features of the Crossroads that immediately stands out, especially if you’re a yachting enthusiast. It’s also unprecedented because it’s basically the first of its kind in the whole country. It can cater to most private yachts (even international ones) as long as they don’t exceed the maximum length of 197 feet. The presence of this new world-class marina further establishes the Maldives as a prime yachting destination in Asia and the world.

As you enjoy yachting, you can also avail of The Marina’s catering services to complement your activities. The Marina will also play host to various entertainments and events that could prove to be memorable for you and your loved ones.

Check out our list of the top yachting destinations in Asia .

A melting pot of indulgence and luxury

This expansive project is composed of multiple resorts that host equally numerous cafés and restaurants, spas, fashion and beauty stores, and entertainment centers. In short, everything that you can expect from an upscale resort but with more unique and Maldives-exclusive options to choose from.

A view from one the villas of Saii Lagoon by Hilton.

With hotel brands like the Hilton and Hard Rock spearheading the development of its resorts, it’s safe to say that the Crossroads is surely in good hands. Both brands have been allotted their own islands where they are given free reign in developing their individual resorts. For Hilton, it’s Curio while the latter has the Hard Rock Hotel Maldives, which caters more to families.

Variety abounds in dining choices

The dining experience is particularly noteworthy, such as those found in the Hard Rock Cafe Maldives. Guests can partake of authentic American and Mexican cuisine in its humongous indoor and outdoor dining area. All the while guests will be serenaded with great rock music and be provided with a beautiful beachfront view that has the inimitable Maldives trademark.

The Marina @ Crossroads offers a variety of dining places right by the docks.

The Marina, located on the western portion of the Crossroads, introduces a more Asian twist to guests. This is because it will be hosting Nihonbashi and Ministry of Crab, both of which have figured in the 50 Best Restaurants in Asia. The latter in particular is known for its sumptuous crabs while the former interprets Japanese cuisine using the freshest ingredients Sri Lanka has to offer.

Entertainment for everyone

There are practically numerous sites and features that cater to people of all ages. Kids, for instance, are encouraged to join Koimala and Maalim’s Junior Beach Club & Camp. In it, they’ll be able to immerse themselves in numerous attractions that range from a Splashpad, an inflatable waterpark, and other play zones that offer different opportunities for fun interactions.

Beachside entertainment spots are taken cared of courtesy of Hard Rock hotel.

For those looking for more exclusive events to take part in, they only need to check out the Crossroads Event Hall which is what serves as its multi-purpose area. Live concerts, meetings, and workshops will happen in it on a consistent basis, offering a different experience every time.

The owner of a $3.4 million Lamborghini yacht screamed 'I will kill you' and threw $100 bills into the water when told he couldn't use a private dock

• The owner of a Lamborghini yacht threatened a private dock employee, per CBS8.
• The employee said Ajay Thakore mooned and threw cash at him after being told he couldn't use the dock.
• Thakore, the CEO of Doctor Multimedia, issued an apology through his public relations team.

The owner of a $3.4 million Lamborghini yacht threatened a private dock employee after being told he couldn't be there, the San Diego-based broadcaster CBS8 reported on March 11.

Joseph Holt, a 21-year-old employee at Marriot Marina in San Diego, told CBS8 that he spotted the yacht sailing into the private dock. The owner, whom CBS8 identified as Ajay Thakore, tried to pick another person up at the dock, Holt said.

"I told him respectfully that he couldn't be there, and I honestly was hoping to have a conversation with him about his cool boat," Holt told CBS8.

In a YouTube video posted by @SM-wc9eq on March 10, a dark blue Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 is seen sailing out of a dock. A man in a gray T-shirt, a pair of jeans, and a cap was shown standing on the yacht. The man appeared to be Thakore, per CBS8.

Thakore was shown shouting at Holt. "I will kill you, you know I will kill you!" he can be heard saying multiple times in the video

Thakore was later shown pounding his fist on his palm and pointing his thumb down before telling Holt: "To your face!" Holt was shown responding by pointing his middle finger at Thakore.

"I really was trying to restrain myself from getting fired from my job or stepping out of line. The only thing I did was give him the bird," Holt told CBS8.

Holt said Thakore then took $100 bills from his wallet and threw them at him. He added that Thakore mooned him. This exchange was not shown in the video.

"He was saying I'm nobody, I'm nothing, I work a silly job. He said that he knows people, he has connections, he can change my life and ruin it," Holt said. Holt did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.

The San Diego Harbor Police arrived at the marina 10 minutes after Thakore's yacht exited the dock, per CBS8.

The Harbor Police told Business Insider that Holt decided to press charges against Thakore and that they are investigating the incident.

According to Thakore's LinkedIn page , he's the CEO of Doctor Multimedia. The company's website shows that it's a healthcare marketing firm based in San Diego. Thakore appears to go by the name Ace Rogers on Instagram and TikTok, where he's noted as being a professional gambler.

Thakore, through his public relations team, told CBS8 in a statement that his altercation with Holt was "regrettable."

"What started as a minor misunderstanding escalated into an argument, and I apologize for my actions and to those who witnessed the unfortunate exchange," the statement said. Thakore did not immediately respond to a request for comment from BI.

Thakore isn't the only CEO who's been called out for threatening another person. In November 2021, an Activision spokesperson told BI that its ex-CEO Bobby Kotick had previously apologized for telling his assistant he would have her killed. The spokesperson added that Kotick's threat was "obviously hyperbolic and inappropriate" and that "he deeply regrets the exaggeration and tone."

In June 2020, Lisa Alexander, the CEO of LaFace Skincare, a cosmetics company, apologized in a statement to the media after she had threatened to call the police on her neighbor for writing "Black Lives Matter" on his property. Alexander said in the apology that she was "disrespectful" and "should have minded my own business."
