Rah Gili is a new private-island resort with a mischievous streak \u2013 overwater slides, spinner dolphins, coconut cocktails and teppanyaki, all within a 40-minute speedboat ride of Mal\u00e9.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opened in February 2026, the first resort from Six & Six Private Islands offers a Maldives private island retreat<\/a> that’s making waves for its playful approach to luxury. Across 74 private-pool villas, Rah Gili’s version of island life makes room for both privacy and a little mischief: overwater slides drop directly into the lagoon, spinner dolphins frolic in the surrounding waters and poolside lounge Amrit serves cocktails in a coconut and resident DJ sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rah Gili can do quiet, but it would rather give you somewhere to play \u2013 whether that’s in the ocean, on the sand or while catching bowls and sipping Japanese whisky at the resort’s teppanyaki den. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
