Atoll Estates has announced the development of Zamani Islands, a lifestyle destination in the Maldives’ South Malé Atoll, including the country’s first super-yacht marina and yacht club.

This ground-breaking destination will launch its first phase in Spring 2026, redefining luxury and sustainability with a deep commitment to placing ‘Planet and People’ as the driving force from design to across the entire operation.

Extending to 5km in a natural lagoon, eight islands will accommodate three individual resorts, designed in partnership with resort master planner Killa Design. Zamani Islands aims to be the first 100% clean, renewable energy resort in the Maldives and is located 21 nautical miles from the main international airport.

The first phase will launch a collection of Private Estates and Mansions, with 14 available for residential purchase off-plan. Each has been conceived with renowned architect and designer YoDezeen, recognised for its specialisation in ultra-luxury private residences globally. Developed with utmost attention to detail, the private Beach Front Residences offer between four and eight bedrooms. The timeless, sleek designs using the finest natural resources sit comfortably within the pristine surroundings, embracing the connection between indoor and outdoor living.

Spacious entertaining zones are strategically positioned to capture the best Indian Ocean views. Each villa offers beautifully appointed bedrooms, multiple-private pools across different levels, a screening room, a personal spa and wellness area as well as dedicated fitness and game spaces. Personal butler service will cater to all needs. Included with each residence is a private berth within the Maldives’ inaugural super-yacht marina with full-service facilities including crew amenities, provisioning, maintenance and a yacht club.

Environmental sensitivity has been prioritised throughout the design and construction processes, encompassing the careful selection of construction materials. Priority is given to respecting the marine environment, with Atoll Estates having an active coral relocation programme in place during the build and after construction, a coral propagation programme with a proposed 70 hectares dedicated for this purpose.
