Malé, Maldives, February 2026: SIX & SIX PRIVATE ISLANDS, the lifestyle-led hospitality company, is reshaping the branded residence sector in the Maldives with the creation of six distinct ultra-luxury residential resort projects over six years. Based in the capital Malé, this visionary company intuitively understands what makes this idyllic archipelago such a special and sought-after destination. Now, it is bringing this vision to life with a collection of stunning residences that are rooted in authenticity, artistry, and sustainability.

Set to be introduced from 2026 onwards, each of its six new private islands will be defined by its own story and design language. No two projects will be alike, but together they will form a collection that elevates the entire Maldivian residential lifestyle experience, inspired by the natural rhythm of the ocean. Sustainability underpins the brand at every level, and each of the private islands is aiming to obtain EarthCheck certification.

Now, SIX & SIX PRIVATE ISLANDS reveals its first two projects, offering a private island experience defined by calm, clarity, and global accessibility.

1 / RAH GILI MALDIVES - A Secret Place Where Time Stands Still

South Malé Atoll – 40 mins by speedboat from Velana International Airport

Island Size: 87,700 sqm (8 hectares)

Number of Villas: 74 (171 to 257sqm)

RAH GILI MALDIVES is a private island retreat defined by space, privacy, and a close connection to the sea. The island features 74 design-led beachfront and overwater villas, each with light-filled interiors, outdoor terraces, private pools, and carefully selected furnishings. Each of the overwater villas features an 18-metre waterslide, introducing a playful dimension alongside the island’s calm, design-forward character.Located beside a dolphin sanctuary, the island offers nature-led experiences including PADI-certified diving, wildlife encounters, coral conservation programmes, and beachfront yoga.

The waters surrounding RAH GILI MALDIVES are home to a resident dolphin population.

On land, residents are invited into a rhythm of dining, social connection, and cultural experiences shaped by the island. As evening unfolds, the beach club, outdoor cinema, and curated music moments define the island’s night-time character.

2 / DON MAAGA MALDIVES - An Epicurean Eden

South Malé Atoll – 25 minutes by speedboat from Velana International Airport

Island Size: 117,275 sqm (11.7 hectares)

Number of Villas: 57 (515 to 9,000sqm)

Located in the South Malé Atoll, DON MAAGA MALDIVES is an ultra-luxury resort defined by scale, discretion, and highly personalised service. Owners are supported by dedicated butlers, private chefs, and in-villa dining, creating an exclusive and self-contained island experience. The villas are monumental in scale, with soaring interiors, private pools, and bespoke detailing throughout. Accommodation ranges from 515-square-metre sunrise Water Villas to 1,500-square-metre three-bedroom Beach Pavilions, culminating in a rare 9,000-square-metre, five-bedroom private island sanctuary.

At DON MAAGA MALDIVES, each private villa features expansive living spaces and wraparound pools

Dining at DON MAAGA MALDIVES spans a range of distinct concepts, including a Champagne, Lobster & Caviar Bar, Indian and Peruvian restaurants, The Grill Room, and a dedicated wine cellar for private tastings and degustation experiences. Beyond dining, residents can engage in water-based activities, make use of the island’s sports courts, or retreat to shaded cabanas positioned along the beach or beside the saltwater pool. A comprehensive wellness centre includes an ice room, hydrotherapy pool, yoga pavilion, and overwater treatment spaces, while a dedicated kids’ club provides space for younger guests to explore and play.

Laith Pharaon, Co-Founder & CEO of SIX & SIX PRIVATE ISLANDS, comments: “SIX & SIX was created with a long-term view not just to build resorts, but to shape places people can genuinely belong to. Each island is distinct, deeply considered, and designed to be lived in, not visited. Our private residences reflect that philosophy, offering space, privacy, and permanence in one of the world’s most extraordinary settings.”

Marco Bonini, Director of Private Residences at SIX & SIX PRIVATE ISLANDS, adds: “Each residence is designed to function as a true home, supported by resort-level services and management, allowing owners to enjoy the island lifestyle without operational complexity. While each island has its own architectural character, all residences share the same standards of service, sustainability, and access to the wider SIX & SIX resort experience.”Following the launch of RAH GILI MALDIVES and DON MAAGA MALDIVES in 2026, SIX & SIX PRIVATE ISLANDS will continue to expand its collection with additional destinations introduced progressively over the years that follow.
