Discover the latest branded residential developments
Branded residences have become one of the fastest-growing sectors of the luxury property market. Combining private home ownership with the services and standards of established brands, these developments appeal to buyers seeking convenience, exclusivity and long-term value. As demand continues to rise, developers and luxury names are partnering to create homes that offer more than just an address. We highlight a selection of branded residences currently on offer, each reflecting a different approach to high-end living.
Baccarat Hotel & Residences Maldives
Baccarat Hotel & Residences Maldives marks the brand’s first residential address in the Indian Ocean, bringing 62 private homes to five connected islands in the South Malé Atoll. Scheduled to launch in 2027, the collection has been designed by HKS Architects, with interiors by 1508 London that draw inspiration from Baccarat’s heritage through the careful use of light, reflection and finely crafted finishes.
Each residence, available with two to five bedrooms, enjoys a setting on the beach, above the lagoon or over the water, creating a close connection with the surrounding landscape. Residents will have access to a 20-metre swimming pool, yoga pavilion, fire pit and generous entertaining spaces, all overlooking the Indian Ocean.
A dedicated wellness and spa centre complements seven restaurants led by Michelin starred chef Björn Frantzén, while a curated gallery, champagne bar and cigar lounge add to the experience. Attentive service and refined design combine to create an exceptional island retreat that balances privacy, comfort and understated luxury.
