> Visiting family in the spare room with their own bathroom, brunch downstairs, a film in the private cinema and a birthday in a venue you book yourself. How Solitaire Luxury Residences handles a weekend of hosting.

Every household that moves to Greater Malé soon discovers that the flat has to hold more than the people who live in it. Parents visit for a fortnight. Friends come through on the way to a resort. A child turns five. Solitaire Luxury Residences is unusually well set up for that side of life, and a weekend of hosting is the best way to see it.

## Friday: the guests arrive

The homes Binga has handled at Solitaire are 3+1 plans with four bathrooms, and one listing describes them as offering full en-suite privacy. That matters most when someone is staying. Visiting parents have a bedroom and a bathroom of their own, and nobody shares a morning queue. The plus-one room gives the household somewhere to put the extra luggage, the cot or the home office that would otherwise have been displaced.

Guests arriving by car can use the building's dedicated car and bike parking on the lower and upper ground floors; ask the concierge how visitor spaces are handled before the first arrival.

## Saturday morning: the building does the entertaining

Breakfast can be downstairs. The retail and dining spaces at street level are described with a street-café feel, indoor and outdoor seating, which spares the host a morning at the stove.

Then the pool. The infinity pool, with loungers and a separate kiddie pool, is described as private and calm rather than crowded, which is the right kind of pool for visiting grandparents and small grandchildren together. The gym is split into two dedicated spaces, for women and for men, so a guest who likes to train can do so on their own terms.

## Saturday evening: the clubhouse

The residents' clubhouse is where Solitaire becomes a host in its own right. It is described as a dining and lounge space with a pocket billiard table, a wide home theatre with a 360-degree surround sound system, and a covered deck. A dinner for eight that would crowd a dining table can move to the clubhouse; the evening can end on the deck rather than in the kitchen.

For a film, there is also a private cinema, described as a space for coming together. Ask how it is booked, and whether guests may use it with a resident.

## Sunday: the occasion

The building describes multiple event venues that residents can book for birthdays, anniversaries and other celebrations. The party that would otherwise need a restaurant, a deposit and a taxi home can happen inside the building. For the youngest guests, the kids' club near the lobby is described as intentionally small and secure, meant for babies and toddlers.

## Monday: back to normal

The guests leave, and the flat is still tidy, because most of the weekend happened elsewhere in the building. The co-working space, indoor and outdoor, is there for the working week that follows.

## Who this suits

Households that host: families with relatives abroad, couples who entertain, anyone relocating who expects a steady stream of visitors. The concierge's questions for this kind of tenant are practical ones: which venues are bookable and at what cost, the clubhouse and cinema rules, guest access to the pool and gym, and visitor parking. Put them in your brief and they will be answered before the viewing.
