DVH Global Holdings

A group built on care.

DVH Collection is part of an international hospitality group — a small family of brands united by a single standard of quiet attention.

Who we are

Four brands. One standard.

DVH Global Holdings operates a family of hospitality brands across Indonesia and the United Arab Emirates. Each has its own character and sense of place — refined city residences in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, wellness-led villas across Bali, and the services that make a stay effortless.

What connects them is not a look. It is a standard: residences chosen personally, teams who genuinely care, and the small attentions that turn a stay into something remembered.

We are deliberately unhurried. We would rather grow slowly and hold the standard than grow quickly and lose it.

William Donaldson, Founder & CEO of DVH Global Holdings

The founder

A career built in hospitality, not around it.

William Donaldson grew up in the business. His parents owned restaurants in Germany and England, and he learned early that a guest's experience is decided in details no one is meant to notice.

He read International Hospitality Business Management, began at a boutique coastal hotel in East Sussex and went on to the Savoy in London, before returning to lead the family's collection of hospitality venues across the south of England for more than a decade.

He built a hospitality group in the Caribbean — an oceanfront boutique hotel and restaurant, with cafés and restaurants across the islands — and sold it to a corporate group. In England he then created an award-winning food-led gastropub, a boutique spa hotel and a village delicatessen. All three still thrive to this day.

DVH Collection was founded in Dubai in 2023; the group expanded into Indonesia in 2025 with the launch of Nusa Havens.

That history shaped a simple conviction: hospitality is not a system to be scaled, but a standard to be kept. Every home in the group is chosen personally, and every team is built to hold that standard when no one is watching.

“Luxury is not what you add. It is what you never let slip.”

Giving back

We give back to the places that hold us.

Our brands exist because of the communities that welcome them. We support them quietly and consistently, in three ways.

01

Education

We support schooling and English-language learning for children in the communities where our teams live, so that opportunity is not decided by postcode.

02

Environment

Shoreline and village clean-ups, reduced single-use plastic across our properties, and water and energy discipline in every home we run.

03

Employment

We hire locally, train properly and promote from within — fair pay, real careers, and the dignity of work done well.

The long view

Built to last, not to exit.

We are a private group with no outside investors and no timetable. That allows us to make decisions on a horizon of decades rather than quarters — to keep homes properly, pay teams fairly and refuse work that would compromise either.

Growth, when it comes, follows the standard. Never the other way round.

Where we operate

The United Arab Emirates, Indonesia and the United Kingdom.

The group cares for luxury residences in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, a growing collection of villas across Bali, and a portfolio of hospitality venues in the United Kingdom.

We expand rarely, and only where we can hold our standard.

Dubai

City residences across Downtown, Marina, Palm Jumeirah and JBR.

Abu Dhabi

Considered island and waterfront residences, including Saadiyat.

Bali

Wellness-led private pool villas by Nusa Havens, across the island's south and east.

United Kingdom

A portfolio of hospitality venues across the south of England.

For owners and partners.

If you own a home you would like looked after properly, or you are considering working with the group, we would be glad to talk.
