By Nishang Narayan

Published on December 2, 2024

A bold new player in Maldives hospitality, SIX & SIX PRIVATE ISLANDS is set to redefine luxury with the launch of six individually branded resorts over the next six years. Founded by Laith Pharaon, the company will begin its journey with two flagship properties in the South Malé Atoll, opening in 2025 and 2026. Designed to offer bespoke guest experiences, each resort will feature distinct characteristics while maintaining a shared focus on intuitive service, artistic design, and a cosmopolitan lifestyle.

Redefining Guest Experiences

At the core of SIX & SIX’s philosophy is a commitment to personalization that surpasses traditional standards. Guests will enjoy the freedom to curate every aspect of their stay, from dining and wellness programs to unique cultural and nature-based activities. The resorts will employ expert health and wellness professionals, ensuring each visitor's journey is tailored to their preferences and aspirations.

According to Laith Pharaon,

"SIX & SIX, through its service culture and delivery, will elevate the guest journey. We will ensure that guests enjoy the ultimate luxuries: the time, the space, and the freedom to be themselves."

Upcoming Resorts: A Preview

The brand’s first property, RAH GILI MALDIVES, will debut in late 2025. Situated near an exclusive dolphin sanctuary in the South Malé Atoll, the resort promises unforgettable moments with playful marine life. Guests can choose from 74 luxurious pool villas, 38 of which are overwater. With sizes ranging from 120 to 200 square meters, the villas boast private pools, sleek designs, and vibrant social spaces.

Following this, DHON MAAGA MALDIVES, slated for a 2026 opening, will take ultra-luxury to the next level. Offering 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom villas, the property will feature some of the largest accommodations in the Maldives, complete with semi-precious gem bathtubs, zen courtyards, and private jet transfers. The resort’s 31 overwater and 25 beach villas will range from 250 to over 400 square meters, delivering an unparalleled experience of opulence.

A Vision for Sustainability

Beyond luxury, SIX & SIX is deeply committed to sustainability and community engagement. The brand’s ESG initiatives include:

  • Extensive use of solar power
  • Zero-waste policies
  • Reef rehabilitation programs
  • Support for local produce
  • Community development projects

With nearly 15 years of experience in the region, Marc Gussing, Director of Operations, adds invaluable expertise to the team, ensuring that each resort offers unique, transformative experiences for guests.

As Gussing states,

“Our ambition is to be the go-to resort operator for bon-vivants who demand customisation so that they can create their own, ideal story.”
