Island Escapes

Rah Gili Maldives is the inaugural resort in the SIX & SIX Private Islands collection  a barefoot-luxury private island destination in South Malé Atoll. Nestled beside a protected dolphin sanctuary, the resort blends contemporary design with Maldivian cultural rhythms, offering 74 private pool villas (including overwater options), six restaurants, four bars, curated wellness experiences and a lively mix of social and serene spaces. The ethos here centres on connection  to sea, stories and shared moments in a setting where turquoise waters meet wide-open skies.

Set on a private 300-acre island three miles off Malaysia’s west coast, Pangkor Laut Resort is a luxury rainforest-meets-seascape sanctuary offering a blend of natural beauty and refined comfort. Villas nestle among ancient jungle, rugged cliffs and pristine bays, while an award-winning spa, calm beaches and discreet amenities complete the sense of secluded escape. Whether seeking jungle serenity, oceanfront calm or wellness indulgence, the resort offers a rare balance of wild nature and five-star living.

Nestled within the treetops of a 46-acre estate at the north-western tip of the island, the Datai Langkawi is utterly unique. Enveloped by a 10-million-year-old virgin rainforest home to flying lemurs, dusk leaf monkeys, and a plethora of birds and butterflies, you’ll find a collection of rooms, suites and villas elevated within the forest’s lush canopy or with direct access to the resort’s private white-sand beach. For a cut above, the Datai Estate with its five bedrooms, private pool and garden is one of the largest hotel villas in Asia. Whichever room you choose, opportunities to explore are endless – there are bicycles for hire, s a sensational yoga pavilion and a championship golf course is located within a five minute drive from the resort.

A place where sea and sunsets demand centre stage, Heritance Aarah is a tropical paradise that ticks all the boxes for a laidback luxury escape. Embrace star-studded skies, romantic open-air dining and one of the largest lagoons in the Maldives at this 5-star resort perched along the white sands of the Raa Atoll. Reached by an oh-so-scenic seaplane transfer from Male, this lagoon-facing resort boasts a collection of villas just steps from the beach or above the waters of the Indian Ocean. Pick a cosy villa with a private pool or the added perk of direct beach access – either way, you’ll enjoy the pampered luxury of 24-hour butler service just for you.
