Maldives, 20 August 2025 – THE OZEN COLLECTION is honoured to mark four illustrious years of partnership with Bodegas Viñátigo, the esteemed Tenerife winery renowned for its extraordinary revival of nearly-lost Canary Islands grape varieties. For over three decades, their vineyards, nurtured in volcanic soils, have preserved precious winemaking heritage - a philosophy that resonates profoundly with THE OZEN COLLECTION’s dedication to authentic, terroir-inspired experiences. This partnership extends far beyond seasonal events, with Bodegas Viñátigo's distinctive vintages available throughout the year via THE OZEN COLLECTION’S signature holiday programmes: the RESERVE™ Plan at OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI and the INDULGENCE™ Plan at OZEN LIFE MAADHOO, allowing guests to discover these remarkable Spanish island wines at every moment of their stay.

Winemaker Juan Jesús Méndez shares his reflections, "THE OZEN COLLECTION has become an integral chapter in our story. Through these years, we've developed a profound understanding of their vision and clientele. To see our wines journey from Tenerife's volcanic earth to the Maldives' pristine shores has been extraordinary. The enthusiasm from guests and connoisseurs alike continually inspires us to craft new expressions while strengthening this cherished partnership."
