SIX & SIX PRIVATE ISLANDS MALDIVES has announced the launch of SIX & SIX PRIVATE RESIDENCES, a new luxury residential concept offering a limited collection of beachfront and overwater homes in the Maldives. Designed around authenticity, cultural connection, and sustainability, the residences provide an opportunity to experience private island living in one of the world's most sought-after destinations.
The launch forms part of the company's vision to create six resorts across six islands within six years. A select number of villas on each island will be available for private ownership, appealing to both investors and lifestyle buyers seeking a unique island retreat.
Unlike many luxury developments that follow international resort templates, SIX & SIX PRIVATE ISLANDS draws inspiration from Maldivian traditions, craftsmanship, and community life. The residences are designed to reflect the character of each island while offering privacy, comfort, and a strong sense of place.
The concept is led by CEO and co-founder Laith Pharaon, known for his involvement in globally recognised hospitality brands. Through the Rayyithun philosophy, meaning "People of the Islands," the brand seeks to celebrate local culture and create meaningful connections between residents and the surrounding environment.
Director of Private Residences Marco Bonini, who brings more than 25 years of experience in luxury hospitality and branded residences, notes that today's luxury buyers increasingly value authenticity, privacy, and purpose-driven experiences.
Sustainability remains central to the development strategy. The company aims for all SIX & SIX islands to achieve EarthCheck certification, integrating environmental responsibility and community engagement into every stage of development.
The first island destination, RAH GILI MALDIVES, is scheduled to open in February 2026 in the South Malé Atoll, followed by DON MAAGA MALDIVES later in the year. Each island will feature its own architectural identity and curated experiences while remaining connected through the brand's core values of authenticity, discretion, and cultural depth.
