SIX & SIX PRIVATE ISLANDS has unveiled plans to open six luxury and ultra-luxury resorts in the Maldives over the next six years. The first two properties, located in the South Malé Atoll, are set to open in 2025 and 2026, promising to deliver uniquely personalized experiences for guests.

Founded by Laith Pharaon, an experienced hotelier with a history of transformative hospitality ventures, SIX & SIX aims to revolutionize the guest experience through intuitive service, artistic design, and a cosmopolitan lifestyle. The resorts will focus on providing customizable stays, allowing guests to tailor every aspect of their visit—from wellness programs to cultural explorations.

The first resort, RAH GILI MALDIVES, is scheduled to open in late 2025. This property will feature 74 pool villas, including overwater options, and will emphasize fine dining, cultural events, and exclusive access to a nearby dolphin sanctuary. Following in 2026, DHON MAAGA MALDIVES will elevate luxury with colossal villas, private-jet transfers, a state-of-the-art spa, and unique design elements like bathtubs inlaid with semi-precious gems.

“Our service culture will ensure guests enjoy the ultimate luxuries: time, space, and the freedom to be themselves,” said Laith Pharaon.

The company is equally committed to sustainability. Its ambitious environmental and social governance (ESG) goals include solar power usage, zero-waste initiatives, reef rehabilitation, and community-focused programs. These efforts aim to preserve the natural beauty and cultural heritage of the Maldives.

Director of Operations Marc Gussing emphasized the company’s focus on personalization, stating, “Our ambition is to be the go-to resort operator for bon vivants who demand customization so they can create their own, ideal story.”

SIX & SIX PRIVATE ISLANDS, headquartered in Malé, is set to be a transformative force in Maldivian hospitality, combining luxury with sustainable practices to create unparalleled experiences.
