As demand for exceptional private island homes continues to outpace supply, SIX & SIX PRIVATE ISLANDS has unveiled an exclusive collection of fully serviced private residences at DON MAAGA MALDIVES, introducing a new chapter for residential ownership in one of the world’s most sought-after destinations.
Opening in Q1 of 2027, DON MAAGA occupies an 11.7-hectare island in South Malé Atoll, just 25 minutes by speedboat from Velana International Airport. Conceived as an ultra-private retreat where architecture, hospitality and nature exist in quiet balance, the development offers a rare opportunity to own a managed island residence in the Maldives.
Rather than treating the residences as standalone villas within a resort, SIX & SIX PRIVATE ISLANDS has approached the project as a collection of private homes shaped by the island itself. Every residence has been positioned to maximise privacy, views and connection to the surrounding landscape, allowing owners to experience the rhythm of island living while enjoying the services of a fully integrated luxury resort.
“At DON MAAGA, we challenged ourselves to create something that feels intrinsically connected to the Maldives rather than imposed upon it,” said Laith Pharaon, Co-Founder and CEO of SIX & SIX PRIVATE ISLANDS.”
“From the beginning, our vision was to allow the island to lead the design process, with architecture emerging naturally from the landscape, the shoreline and the rhythms of island life. Every space has been conceived as part of a journey of discovery, where privacy, proportion and a deep sense of place take precedence over spectacle.”
“Today’s luxury buyer is looking beyond visual grandeur. They seek authenticity, tranquillity and a meaningful relationship with their surroundings. DON MAAGA brings together thoughtful architecture, Maldivian influences and a profound respect for nature to create a place designed to endure for generations.”
The architecture unfolds gradually, beginning with an open-water arrival before revealing a sequence of carefully composed spaces that blur the boundaries between indoors and outdoors. Natural stone, timber and bamboo combine with sculptural forms inspired by coral formations, creating residences that feel rooted in the island rather than placed upon it. Floor-to-ceiling openings frame uninterrupted views of the Indian Ocean, while expansive outdoor living areas, private pools and landscaped gardens reinforce a sense of complete seclusion.
The collection is divided between AETHR, a series of overwater residences shaped by the horizon and the ever-changing light of the Indian Ocean, and TERRA, spacious beachfront homes grounded within lush island landscapes. Together, they offer two distinct ways of experiencing life at DON MAAGA, while sharing the same philosophy of privacy, generous proportions and seamless hospitality.
Ownership opportunities begin with the two-bedroomoverwater residences from US$5 million, followed by the 2.5-bedroom beachfront family residences from US$5.5 million, and the larger 3.5-bedroom beachfront residences from US$6.95 million. *
Hospitality sits at the heart of the ownership experience through Edhurun, SIX & SIX’s distinctive approach to personalised service. Inspired by the Maldivian concept of a trusted mentor, each residence is assigned a dedicated lifestyle butler who understands the rhythms and preferences of every owner, quietly curating each stay, from bespoke dining and family celebrations to wellness journeys, yacht expeditions and experiences beyond the island.
Beyond the residences, DON MAAGA has been envisioned as a destination in its own right. Residents have access to an extensive collection of dining and wellness experiences, including a Champagne, Lobster & Caviar Bar, Italian, Asian, Indian and Peruvian restaurants, a signature Grill Room, a private wine cellar, overwater treatment suites, hydrotherapy pools, yoga pavilions and bespoke wellness programmes.
“Exceptional private island real estate has become one of the rarest categories of luxury property worldwide,” said Marco Bonini, Director of Private Residences at SIX & SIX PRIVATE ISLANDS.
“True island ownership is increasingly difficult to find, particularly when paired with architectural distinction and the service standards of a world-class resort. DON MAAGA has been created for buyers who value privacy, permanence and experiences that cannot be replicated elsewhere. It offers the freedom of a private home with the reassurance of a professionally managed luxury ecosystem.”
The residences also reflect SIX & SIX’s long-term commitment to responsible island stewardship. Marine conservation initiatives, coral restoration programmes and partnerships with local artisans have been integrated into the development, ensuring the natural and cultural heritage of the Maldives remains central to the ownership experience.
With only a limited number of residences available, DON MAAGA represents one of the last opportunities to acquire an ultra-luxury private island home in one of the world’s most tightly protected and supply-constrained destinations.
Prices start from US$5 million*.
*Prices are based on participation in the resort rental pool programme.
