Summer 2016 Six Senses Retail Collection Premieres

Published

on

Six Senses retailSix Senses Hotels Resorts Spas is geared up for the summer season and set to redefine and refresh the exclusive line of designer holiday wear and gift items at the group’s eclectic boutiques. The collection, brought together by the newly appointed Director of Retail Marie-Eve Macgoey, commences its launch at the resorts in Thailand this August, then rolls out to other Six Senses resorts and spas later this year.

“For months we have been developing a selection of women’s ready-to-wear, resort wear, swimsuits, jewelry and accessories and are very proud to see the Summer 2016 Six Senses Retail Collection come to life,” said Marie-Eve Macgoey. “Our commitment to sustainability is evident throughout the collection and is part of the brand’s ethos to being a responsible company that works with like-minded, local brands that follow sustainable procurement and manufacturing practices. We have also identified several companies that support minority-owned business and benefit women, children and underprivileged communities.”

Apparel reflects a casually sophisticated take on resort style wedded to the unique synergy that Six Senses has developed with local artisans and designers, with many of the selected items benefiting indigenous populations in Asia and Africa while staying true to the Six Senses brand values.

The range features garments that move effortlessly from leisure activities, sport and lounging to elegant evenings beneath starry skies. Natural fabrics are transformed into wisps of whimsy to layer over swimwear; sandals that are perfect for a beach or patio party and cheeky carryall bags of handcrafted macramé.

In addition to shorts, tops and bathing suits (for men too), the line includes vacation necessities such as branded caps, T-shirts and polos. Sensational colorful wraps and caftans in silk and cotton are just as much on trend poolside at a Six Senses resort as at a private soirée upon returning home. Similarly, bags and clutches add a touch of panache, while the Six Senses jewelry line presents an array of fabulous, fun and funky necklaces, bracelets and charms.

A men’s line is under development as well as a yoga wear and gear. Both will launch late 2016.

Evenings brim with artistic vibrancy, from the Christmas Boho Soirée to the Beachside New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner, where international flavours, captivating performances, and evocative music fill the night air. The Art of Bohemia brings together the rhythmic energy of traditional Maldivian Boduberu drumming and expertly mixed artisanal cocktails, complemented by live painting sessions that pay homage to island artistry.

Wellness is deeply woven into the journey, with sunrise yoga practices such as The First Flow and Stillness in Motion harmonising with the ocean’s rhythms. Meditative experiences include sound healing with crystal bowls, bespoke spa journeys like The Radiance of the Dunes, and elemental fire rituals such as Fireside Release, all designed to restore and renew.

Culinary exploration takes centre stage through a nomadic dining series curated by Executive Chef Christopher Terry and his award-winning team. Degustation dinners are paired with fine wines and tailored cocktails, with standout experiences including Chef’s Table by the Sea, Flavours of the Levant, and the Dom Pérignon Seafood Degustation at Zeytoun.

Families are also drawn into the spirit of connection, with activities such as family yoga, shared spa rituals, and the joyful arrival of The Wanderer in Red creating treasured holiday memories. Interactive workshops and live music sessions provide a creative platform for guests to shape their own festive narratives.

Throughout the season, The Nautilus embodies an eclectic spirit, celebrating individuality, culture, and imagination. From Maldivian handicraft sessions to Silk Road-inspired design, the island becomes a tapestry of contrasting yet harmonious expressions.

As General Manager Adan Gomez reflects, “This festive season is not a schedule. It’s a journey—a soulful escape crafted for those who dare to wander.” Guests are encouraged to explore freely, create meaningfully, and simply exist in a space where every moment feels spontaneous, personal, and unforgettable.

In a world that rarely slows down, The Nautilus Maldives offers a chance to pause, connect, and rediscover joy—inviting guests to find their rhythm, sanctuary, and story this festive season.

Hands-on workshops, such as island soap making and aromatic candle crafting on Boxing Day, add a creative touch to the wellness programme.

Families are well catered for at Kandiland, where little ones can enjoy elf workshops, glow-in-the-dark parties, and even Santa’s arrival by the beach. Meanwhile, adults can join in cocktail mixology classes or belt out tunes at beachfront karaoke sessions.

For thrill-seekers, high-speed action awaits at Fast Track, Kandima’s e-go-kart arena, where guests can join the Time Attack Race or Rudolph’s Rapid Rally. Those in search of a slower pace can explore local creativity at the KULA Art Festival or toast the sunset aboard a luxury lagoon cruise.

The festivities culminate on New Year’s Eve with a beachfront celebration featuring a live band, fireworks display, and a late-night buffet that keeps the party going well into 2026. As the first sunrise of the new year emerges over the Indian Ocean, guests are invited to continue the celebration with a relaxed New Year’s Day brunch—welcoming the next chapter in unmistakable Kandima style.
