Our Assessment

Why we recommend Don Maaga Maldives.

Don Maaga lies in the South Malé Atoll, around 30 minutes by speedboat from Velana airport. The second island of SIX & SIX Private Islands opens in the fourth quarter of 2026 with 57 villas from 515 to over 1,500 square metres.

At Don Maaga, the first decision is the villa family: TERRA on the beach or AETHR over the water.

What stays with you
TERRA on the beach or AETHR over the water: the villa family shapes the stay, and the 21-metre slide into the lagoon belongs to the water villas.
  • Don Maaga lists 57 villas from 515 to over 1,500 square metres, with private pools of 16 to 25 metres.
  • AETHR water villas carry elevated decks with their own slide into the lagoon; the TERRA beach pavilions feature twin fresh- and saltwater pools.
  • Every villa is looked after by its own Edhurun, the resort's mentor-style butler; the staff-to-guest ratio is seven to one.
  • Six restaurants from Peruvian to the Grill Room, alongside a champagne, lobster and caviar bar and a six-cover wine cellar.

Climate & best time to travel

When it rewards you most.

Best time to travel January to April

The dry northeast monsoon from December to April brings calm seas, clear underwater visibility and steady sun. September to November is the wettest and windiest stretch and is best avoided if diving conditions and beach days matter most.

  • January–April Dry season with calm seas and daytime temperatures around 29 to 31 degrees; the clearest water and also peak season.
  • May–August Southwest monsoon with short, heavy showers and more wind; the surf season starts in May and rates are lower.
  • September–November Wettest and windiest phase, October often the rainiest; water stays warm but visibility varies.
