The Tanagra Après Sea collection is an ode to effortless luxury. Here, unplanned gatherings, barefoot elegance, and the art of living well come together in a setting that feels both exclusive and inviting. With Après Sea, Tanagra embraces Riviera living and sets its summer campaign against the sparkling sea. Imagine bright afternoons aboard a yacht. The briny breeze softens the heat, and every detail of the experience feels intentional. Homeware becomes part of the summer ritual. Glassware clinks, silver catches the light, and tablescapes move in sync with the tides.

Rather than staged perfection, the campaign celebrates genuineness. Objects are used, spaces are lived in, and moments carry the laid-back glamour of Gulf summers.

Objects in Motion

The Après Sea luxury homeware collection brings together tableware, glassware, vases, silverware, and decorative accents. Tanagra chose each piece to enhance summer dining and hosting.

First, Christofle’s Malmaison Riviera takes inspiration from seaside lunches. It introduces vibrant yellow hues that bring energy and optimism to summer tables. Next, Waterford’s crystal vases and glassware catch sunlight and scatter it across every surface. Each gathering becomes a play of light. Additionally, Buccellati photo frames and trinket bowls add a personal, storied touch. They create intimate vignettes that reflect memory, artistry, and the pleasure of collecting.

Finally, Georg Jensen completes the tableau. Its sleek barware, sculptural serveware, and signature silver accents combine form and function in a modern way. They also nod to the enduring beauty of Scandinavian design.

Together, these pieces reflect Tanagra’s curatorial vision. The brand unites heritage craftsmanship with contemporary sensibilities. As a result, the summer experience feels relevant, refined, and unmistakably luxurious.

Beyond the table, Après Sea captures the fine nuances of summer living. Crystals flicker as the sun moves. Silverware transitions smoothly from leisurely lunches to sunset aperitifs. Moreover, decorative objects blend into the ambiance — they become stories, not just settings. The campaign takes a gentle, intuitive approach to entertaining. Pieces layer throughout the day, echoing the unhurried pace of life on the water.

Featured Collaborations

Après Sea is elevated by exclusive collaborations. Wild Idol’s non-alcoholic sparkling wine brings a festive, sophisticated spirit to all toasts — perfect for bright afternoons on deck. Lush, hand-gathered bouquets by Bliss Flower Boutique fill each scene with color and fragrance, softening the environment and reinforcing the campaign’s acceptance of natural, lived-in elegance.

Summer Living

Via evocative film and photography, Après Sea suggests that genuine luxury isn’t tied to grand occasions but is woven into daily life — where treasured objects, beautiful spaces, and meaningful company merge effortlessly on bright days. The result is a portrait of summer that is both intimate and limitless, where the boundaries between hosting, living, and simply being are gently blurred.

A bold new Maldivian escape where culture, connection and barefoot island living redefine modern luxury.

Six & Six Private Islands has unveiled its first island destination, RAH GILI MALDIVES. The striking new retreat sits in the South Malé Atoll. In fact, it lies just a short speedboat ride from Velana International Airport. The resort sets out to challenge the conventions of traditional luxury hospitality. To do this, it redefines the guest experience around presence and strips away excess to make space for something more meaningful. At RAH GILI, guests shape their own journey. Nature, design and immersive cultural encounters guide the way. Each one reflects how they wish to feel, not just what they wish to do. Rooted in a bold, disruptive ethos, the resort captures the innate magic of its natural surroundings. Above all, it offers a fresh, deeply personal take on modern luxury travel.

The Story Behind RAH GILI Maldives

At the heart of RAH GILI lies Rayyithun, a philosophy inspired by the Maldives itself. The word means “People of the Islands” in Dhivehi. Moreover, Rayyithun is more than a concept. This living rhythm shapes how the island takes form and comes to life. In particular, the philosophy honours the fishermen who deliver the day’s catch. It also celebrates the craftsmen who shape each space by hand, and the drummers who echo the pulse of island life. This narrative includes the story of Juliette, a spirited plover bird. She arrived on the island in 2005 with a broken wing. Soon, she became an enduring symbol of resilience and connection. Today her legacy lives on in Juliette’s, the resort’s signature restaurant. It offers a daily reminder that paradise is a state of mind, one to embrace with joy and a sense of wonder.

Beach and Water Pool Villas

The beautifully designed villas take centre stage. Indeed, they sit on the island’s pristine sands and calm waters. The Beach Pool Villas and Sunset Beach Pool Villas weave deeply into the island experience. They line powder-soft shores, framed by lush greenery. As a result, they offer a sense of grounded luxury that feels both expansive and immersive. These villas work as a true playground for families and friends. They feature generous indoor-outdoor living areas. In addition, each one includes a private pool and direct beach access. Together, these spaces encourage connection, spontaneity and long, sun-drenched days that unfold at an unhurried pace.

In contrast, the Water Pool Villas and Sunset Water Pool Villas deliver the Maldives at its most cinematic. Perched above the turquoise lagoon, these overwater retreats offer uninterrupted ocean views. They also bring a heightened sense of serenity and seclusion. Each villa thoughtfully merges architecture and nature, with expansive decks and private pools. Moreover, playful touches such as slides lead directly into the crystal-clear waters below. Ultimately, they invite guests to embrace the magic of island living from sunrise to sunset.

Dining at RAH GILI Maldives

Culinary experiences at RAH GILI feel as dynamic and diverse as the destination itself. Guests can embark on a global gastronomic journey across a collection of vibrant venues. For example, Juliette’s brings international flair, while Spicy Ginger serves bold Asian flavours. Teppan offers refined Japanese dining, and La Tavola adds the comforting charm of Italian cuisine. Meanwhile, Maakeyolhu celebrates Maldivian seafood traditions, and Tiffin offers a rich Indian menu. At the heart of the island’s social scene, Amrit Beach Club pairs casual dining with a lively atmosphere. It centres on a stunning 210 sqm pool, where sun loungers and private cabanas line the edge. As a result, long, sun-soaked days blend seamlessly into vibrant evenings.

Wellbeing and the Kids Club

Wellbeing runs through every aspect of the RAH GILI experience. SPA by ELEINA leads this approach, where a holistic philosophy restores both body and mind. For instance, guests can unwind across five serene treatment rooms. Alternatively, they can join sunrise and sunset yoga sessions at the pavilion, or relax in tranquil lounging areas. A curated programme of group activities keeps the approach personal. In addition, resident wellness consultants, nutritionists and dedicated fitness coaches ensure a fully personalised path to health and vitality. Younger guests enjoy their own space too. At the Kids Club, fun meets learning through arts and crafts, eco-marine conservation and cooking classes.

A Protected Dolphin Sanctuary at RAH GILI Maldives

RAH GILI sits beside a protected dolphin sanctuary. As a result, guests gain a rare opportunity to witness spinner dolphins in their natural habitat. They gather, play and interact in the island’s secluded lagoon. This deep connection to nature matches the resort’s commitment to sustainability and community impact. The resort recently launched its CSR and sustainability platform, WITH CARE, ALWAYS. Through it, RAH GILI brings together environmental responsibility, cultural preservation and community wellbeing under one unified vision. For example, a dental awareness programme titled “A Culture of Care. A World of Smiles” welcomed 42 children and their families. Clearly, this reinforces the resort’s dedication to meaningful, lasting change.

With its distinctive philosophy, vibrant energy and immersive storytelling, RAH GILI MALDIVES becomes more than a destination. Instead, it is a place where culture, connection and nature converge. Ultimately, it invites travellers to experience the Maldives in an immersive way.
