Anthony McDonald
Founder and CEO

AN Australian national, Anthony founded X2 (CrossTo) Resorts group in 2008. He is a successful serial entrepreneur, who after years of experience in property investment and services industries embarked on an innovative strategy in forming X2 Resorts, a personal endeavour aimed at satisfying the needs of design-focused travellers looking for something different to the traditional tropical resort designs that, while well executed, proliferate the Asian region. 

“I love boutique and design hotels, and in my first resort I was involved in every detail,” says Anthony. “From finding the location, choosing the architect, securing bank funding, overseeing the construction, and heading the hotel management – I did it all.
