Maldives News: Six & Six, a Four Seasons Wellness Island and Aura Maldives

Six & Six Maldives openings

Six & Six Private Islands is a group of Maldivian resorts owned by Orca Holding, whose portfolio also includes Alila Kothaifaru in the Maldives and SOHO House in Barcelona and Mexico City. Rah Gili Maldives, within a dolphin sanctuary in South Malé Atoll, is already welcoming guests to 74 pool villas, both beach villas and overwater villas with slides straight into the lagoon. The resort has six restaurants, including Indian, Maldivian, Asian and Italian.

Don Maaga Maldives, the group’s second resort, opens in the first quarter of 2027. It will have beach and overwater villas, including three-bedroom villas, as well as HIRIGAA The Private Island, a five-bedroom island residence with 9,000 sq m of private space. All guests can enjoy beach breakfasts, lunches at the Grill Room, dinners at Italian, Asian, Indian and Peruvian restaurants and private tastings in the wine cellar. Late nights can be spent at the Champagne, Lobster & Caviar Bar or on the dance floor, and in-villa dining is available around the clock. The overwater spa pavilions have hammams, steam rooms, saunas and ice rooms, and fitness, nutrition and wellness experts will create a personal wellbeing programme.

A spa island at Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa

HŨRJÃ Naturopathy Island is a new wellness island at Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa. Guests can follow comprehensive programmes with lasting results, led by specialists in naturopathy, physiotherapy, acupuncture, yoga, sound therapy and energy practices. Every programme begins with diagnostics, including micronutrient tests, retinal analysis, posture assessment and traditional Chinese medicine methods.

The centre also helps with specific goals: better sleep, liver support, stronger joints and ligaments and overall recovery from a demanding routine. There are rituals to activate the vagus nerve and night-time rituals to reconnect with natural rhythms. Many treatments use AION A mineral clay from Würenlos, Switzerland, whose properties were discovered in the 20th century by Swiss naturopath Emma Kunz. Signature therapies include mud therapy, heliotherapy, magnetic therapy and sound therapy.

Aura Maldives prepares to welcome guests

This luxury family resort in Baa Atoll belongs to Maldivian group Pulse Hotels & Resorts, which also owns the exclusive Kandima and The Nautilus. Its proximity to Hanifaru Bay, famous for its gatherings of manta rays, is already a strong argument. Add villas of 260 to 890 sq m, restaurants serving refined Asian, Japanese (omakase and teppanyaki) and Mexican cuisine, a grill and pizzeria, a beach club, a spa with a hammam, panoramic sauna and hyperbaric chamber, plenty of water sports, local culture and a relaxed island atmosphere – and this may well be where you choose to slow down on your next Maldives holiday.
