“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,” he said.
The Editor of Hotelier Maldives, Ali Naafiz, welcomed 2ofus’ participation, noting their alignment with the spirit of the awards.

We’re thrilled to have them lead the entertainment at this year’s ceremony. Their performance will add vibrancy and pride to an evening dedicated to our industry’s finest,” Naafiz said.
