The Trump family-backed Trump International Hotel is set to arrive in Maldives, but it’s far more than just a regular Donald Trump-affiliated luxury guest house. Dar Global, a luxury real estate developer that’s based in London, United Kingdom, has struck a deal with The Trump Organization, revealing two milestones.
Luxury Meets Blockchain Innovation In Maldives
First of all, this is the inaugural instance of a luxury hotel being tokenized in fragments, meaning that investors are able to purchase separate apartments, rooms via the Real World Asset (RWA) marketplace that’s set to arrive soon. According to Eric Trump, this “sets a new benchmark for innovation in real estate investment through tokenization.”
This new crypto community-friendly hub will feature some grandiose luxury solutions, including VIP over-water villas & ultra-luxury private beaches. By 2035, the tokenized real estate market is set to explode into a $4 trillion market, which is larger than the current crypto market cap.

With the blockchain involved, buying pieces of this land on-chain as RWA enables yield based on the location’s popularity. However, the Trump Organization hasn’t disclosed which chain is powering the new Trump Hotel Maldives marketplace – the hotel is expected to be open after a late 2028 completion.

A $300M+ luxury resort in the Maldives with 80 over-water villas and a 5-star hotel. Trump’s crew partnered with Dubai-based Dar Global to build it—ground broke already, set to open around late 2028.
They’re turning parts of the resort (the villas) into blockchain tokens so anyone can buy fractional ownership—like owning a slice of the property. Instead of buying a whole $4M villa, you can grab a $50K–$100K token and earn rental income when it’s rented out.
Still not announced. They’re waiting on final SEC green light before picking the chain. Rumors float Solana, Polygon, or even a private L2, but nothing locked yet.
Right now they’re aiming at U.S. investors too, but need SEC approval first. Once live, accredited and possibly retail buyers worldwide can jump in—think crypto whales, Trump fans, and real-estate investors.
Tokens probably drop 2026–2027 once construction hits milestones and SEC signs off. The resort itself welcomes guests late 2028. Early token buyers get priority booking + rental yield perks.
