Business Development Manager · Maldives · Viluxur Holidays

About Viluxur Holidays

Viluxur Holidays is a Maldives-led destination partner for the luxury trade. We support tour operators, travel advisors and resort partners across the Maldives, Sri Lanka and China, and the source markets that move them.

The strength of our business rests on the resort relationships and commercial structures behind every booking. We are growing our Maldives-based Business Development function and are looking for a manager who can build partnerships, negotiate strong terms, and open new revenue channels for the business.

The Role

This role sits within our Business Development department in the Maldives, working as a peer alongside our existing partnership team. You will own resort and supplier relationships, negotiate rates, allotments and commercial terms, and develop the new revenue streams that widen what we can offer the trade, from MICE and group business to pre-arrival experiences and incidentals.

It suits a commercially driven professional who knows the Maldives resort landscape intimately, builds trust quickly with hoteliers, and is energised by growing revenue rather than administering it.

What You Will Do

• Build and deepen relationships with Maldives resorts and suppliers across the luxury, family and all-inclusive segments.
• Negotiate rates, allotments, terms and value-adds that strengthen our commercial position.
• Develop new revenue channels, including MICE and group business, pre-arrival experiences and incidentals.
• Represent Viluxur at trade events, resort meetings and industry gatherings.
• Work alongside the partnership team and coordinate with contracting and operations so every agreement is delivered cleanly.
• Grow gross profit through stronger supply-side agreements and new product development.

What You Bring

• Minimum five years of experience in the Maldives travel industry, within resorts or a DMC.
• An established understanding of the Maldives resort landscape and strong existing industry relationships.
• Proven ability to build partnerships, negotiate commercial terms and open new business.
• Fluent English. Russian is a valued bonus given our source markets.
• Based in the Maldives (this is a Maldives-based role).

Why Viluxur

• Own real commercial relationships and revenue channels, with the influence to shape how we compete.
• Competitive salary above the industry standard, with commission tied to the business you build.
• Direct exposure to senior leadership and to markets across the Maldives, Sri Lanka, China and the CIS.
• The backing of Viluxur's international network, long-standing resort relationships and strong trade reputation.
• Room to grow with a company that is expanding across destinations and building new verticals.
