Rah Gili Maldives
Rah Gili Maldives opens the SIX & SIX Private Islands collection with a stay built around creativity, culture, and connection. Tucked into South Malé Atoll beside a secluded dolphin sanctuary, the island holds 74 private pool villas — more than half of them set over the lagoon — finished in natural textures and generous, modern layouts. Six restaurants and four bars anchor the food and drink scene, supplemented by destination dining, in-villa menus, and rotating pop-up experiences, while a curated soundtrack shifts the island's mood from laid-back days into lively nights. Wellness runs through ELE|NA, a spa concept built on the Five Elements of Nature that blends holistic therapies with lifestyle-inspired treatments. Beyond the restaurants and spa, guests can work out in the gym, dive with the on-site PADI centre, take on the sports courts, drop the kids at the Creative Kids Club, or browse the island boutique. Every part of the operation leans into low-impact practices, from reef preservation to seasonal alignment, making sustainability part of the guest experience rather than an afterthought.
Room Types

Set along the island's soft white sand, this villa blends careful architecture with relaxed Bohemian touches for an easy flow between indoor and outdoor living.

Taj Exotica Resort & Spa
Taj Exotica Resort & Spa sits on Emboodhu Finolhu, sometimes called the Three Coconut Isle, within one of the largest lagoons in the Maldives. A 15-minute speedboat ride from Velana International Airport is all it takes to reach this rich, reef-fringed pocket of South Malé Atoll, where 64 sea-view suites and villas balance genuine luxury with a light touch on the surrounding nature. The resort's philosophy — what it calls 'Taj Time' — treats doing nothing as a genuine pursuit. Days can unfold by the infinity pool, on a private stretch of beach, in a hammock strung over the water, or on a gentle wildlife-spotting walk, while the kitchen team sources ingredients from both nearby waters and further afield. Dinner might mean fresh seafood at Deep End, a teppanyaki performance at 24 Degrees, or sunset cocktails at Equator Bar. Butlers handle everything from arranging snorkelling and scuba trips to setting up in-room dining, and the resort's celebrated presidential suite has built a reputation as one of the most striking private retreats anywhere in the islands. Whether the occasion is a honeymoon, a family holiday, or a vow renewal, the setting leaves little reason to rush.

JW Marriott Maldives Kaafu Atoll Island Resort
JW Marriott Maldives Kaafu Atoll Island Resort sits secluded between open sky and the Indian Ocean in North Male Atoll, roughly 15 minutes from Velana International Airport by speedboat. The setting is quiet and self-contained, built around reconnection rather than spectacle. Across the island, 80 private pool villas combine eco-conscious design with uninterrupted ocean views, wide terraces, and direct lagoon access. Dining moves through traditional classics, Indian Ocean fusion, South American cooking, and Japanese-Peruvian flavours, with ocean-fresh seafood, premium steaks, and produce from the resort's own JW Garden appearing throughout the menus. The overwater Spa by JW introduces BABOR's precision skincare treatments to the Maldives for the first time, adding a further layer to a resort already built for slowing down. Activities and experiences throughout are designed with every generation in mind, making the island equally suited to a honeymoon or a family holiday.

COMO Cocoa Island
Known locally as Makunufushi, COMO Cocoa Island sits among the coral atolls of South Malé — close enough to skip the seaplane altogether, with just a 40-minute speedboat ride from Velana International Airport. It's one of COMO's original Maldives properties, built on genuinely personalised service rather than scale. The resort tailors much of the experience around individual requests: private dinners set up on secluded stretches of sand, custom cruises to nearby islands and sandbanks, or yoga, diving, and snorkelling sessions arranged to suit. A manager stays on call around the clock, and the team can handle everything from daily excursion bookings to more elaborate custom requests. Distinctive architecture, calming spa treatments, and a kitchen that leans into authentic, sophisticated cooking round out a stay equally suited to couples, families, or extended groups. One practical note: drones and other unmanned aerial equipment aren't permitted anywhere on the island, in the interest of guest privacy.
