SIX & SIX Private Islands is set to revolutionise luxury hospitality in the Maldives. Launched by co-founder and CEO Laith Pharaon, the company aims to offer a fresh approach combining intuitive service, artistic design, and a cosmopolitan lifestyle. Today, the company revealed the first phase of development, which includes six resorts. The initial two will open in South Malé Atoll in 2025 and 2026, each with its own unique identity. However, all properties will share a common philosophy: providing guests with exceptional, personalised experiences tailored to their lifestyle.
A bespoke luxury experience
At the core of SIX & SIX’s concept is a guest-centric approach that goes far beyond typical luxury offerings. Guests will have complete autonomy over how they dine, explore, play, and relax. The resorts will feature expert health and nutrition specialists, as well as personal trainers, who will design bespoke wellness programmes. With state-of-the-art facilities and techniques, guests can embark on a wellness journey like no other. The resorts will also offer exclusive opportunities to connect with the Maldives’ stunning natural beauty and vibrant culture.
Laith Pharaon’s expertise in the lifestyle-hospitality industry will add a personal touch to every resort, making each one distinct within the Maldives. By moving away from standardised hospitality models, SIX & SIX PRIVATE ISLANDS will focus on creating awe-inspiring moments that reveal the true, authentic beauty of the country. This vision will allow guests to experience a level of luxury that is both unique and deeply connected to the environment, making each stay a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Exclusive resorts and sustainability commitment
SIX & SIX’s first resort, Rah Gili Maldives, is set to open in Q4 2025 in the South Malé Atoll. Located near an exclusive dolphin sanctuary, this resort will offer 74 villas, including 38 overwater options. The villas, ranging from 120 to 200 square metres, will feature private pools and sleek designs that combine luxury with whimsy. Guests can indulge in fine dining, cultural events, and bespoke experiences designed to create lasting memories. Following this, in 2026, Dhon Maaga Maldives will raise the bar for island luxury. This ultra-exclusive retreat will offer expansive villas ranging from 250 to 400 square metres, with private-jet transfers, world-class dining, and state-of-the-art wellness facilities.
With its forward-thinking approach to luxury and sustainability, SIX & SIX Private Islands is committed to protecting the Maldives’ environment. The resorts will be built on some of the country’s most pristine islands and will incorporate ambitious ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) targets. These initiatives include extensive use of solar power, zero waste to landfill, reef rehabilitation, and community outreach programmes. Through these efforts, SIX & SIX is not only redefining luxury hospitality but also ensuring the preservation of the Maldives’ natural beauty for future generations.
