Philippe Claverotte, a suave hotelier and a senior leader of the company, has been appointed as the Vice President of Operations and General Manager of RAAYA By Atmosphere and continuing with the long-standing tradition of embracing women in leadership, OBLU SELECT Sangeli appoints Jenni Hartatik as General Manager.

Philippe Claverotte’s career spans almost 30 years and includes reputed luxury hotel groups and resorts in twelve countries. This appointment is his seventh leadership role in a luxury property.

Speaking about his new role and island concept Philippe says, “At RAAYA by Atmosphere, there is a guest experience like no other, a balance of escapism and energy. Our island is deeply rooted in personal expression, and we intend to create moments of happiness in all corners. As we rebrand, my focus remains on driving operations and business strategies, whilst also developing and motivating the team to anticipate, craft, and elevate every guest interaction, and truly deliver on our brand promise: A New Experience Awaits”.

Proficient in French, English, and Spanish, Philippe brings a magic touch to hospitality, effortlessly inspiring and leading a diverse team to foster a culture of excellence. Extensive industry experience combined with a deep understanding of the company philosophy, Joy of Giving, makes Philippe the right choice for RAAYA by Atmosphere, set to launch on the 4th of July 2024.

It’s all about anticipating our guests’ needs and going the extra mile to make their dreams a reality. The vibrant island lifestyle and incredible holiday plan at OBLU SELECT Sangeli make it a favourite among global travellers. And I want to ensure that we continue this tradition of service excellence, meeting and exceeding business goals, all whilst elevating guests’ holiday experience to new heights.”
