SIX & SIX PRIVATE ISLANDS unveils SIX & SIX Private Residences, a new chapter in ultra-luxury living shaped by purpose, place and presence. Conceived for those seeking either a meaningful retreat or a strategic investment, the collection offers a rare opportunity to own an overwater or beachfront residence in one of the Maldives’ most coveted settings.
The vision is bold yet restrained: six resorts on six islands in six years, each releasing only a limited number of private villas. Rather than replicate established international formulas, the concept reinterprets barefoot luxury through a distinctly Maldivian lens. Architecture and experiences are informed by local rhythms, craftsmanship and cultural depth, allowing each island to retain its own narrative identity.
Led by CEO and co-founder Laith Pharaon, the brand carries forward a community-first philosophy that anchors hospitality in authenticity. Drawing from the Maldivian concept of Rayyithun — “People of the Islands” — every development is shaped around cultural archetypes, from fishermen to builders and storytellers. This framework transforms the residences into living expressions of island heritage rather than isolated enclaves.
For investors, the appeal is reinforced by the Maldives’ sustained tourism growth and robust rental demand, while lifestyle owners are offered discretion and sanctuary. Director of Private Residences Marco Bonini emphasises a shift toward quieter sophistication, responding to buyers seeking meaning over spectacle. Ownership becomes less about display and more about permanence and belonging.
Arrivals are seamless, devoid of traditional check-in rituals, and technology operates quietly in the background. The experience is designed to feel instinctively like returning home, not entering a resort. Every residence reflects its island’s character, ensuring that design, narrative and environment are aligned with a sense of authenticity.
Sustainability forms the cornerstone of the brand’s philosophy. Responsible luxury is embedded from development through operation, with the ambition for all islands to achieve EarthCheck certification. Environmental stewardship and community integration are approached not as marketing statements but as structural commitments guiding every phase of growth.
The journey begins with Rah Gili Maldives, opening in February 2026 in the South Malé Atoll, followed by Don Maaga Maldives later in the year. Each island promises its own architectural language and curated experiences, united by discretion and cultural depth. With SIX & SIX Private Residences, island ownership becomes more than an address; it is a deliberate return to balance, beauty and long-term value.
