Solitario will establish a strong presence through Essence Retail’s extensive shop-in-shop network across some of the Maldives’ most prestigious resorts and islands
Solitario, a luxury jewellery brand, has entered the Maldives, marking its eighth international market. The brand has partnered with Essence Retail, Maldives’ retail chain, to introduce its lab-grown diamond collections across the island nation’s luxury retail network.
As part of its initial expansion phase, Solitario will establish a strong presence through Essence Retail’s extensive shop-in-shop network across some of the Maldives’ most prestigious resorts and islands. The rollout includes Hulhule Island Resort (HIH), followed by key luxury destinations such as Taj Exotica, Siru Fen Fushi Private Island, Ozen Reserve Bolifushi, and JW Marriott, among others.
“Our expansion into the Maldives is more than just a business milestone; it is a celebration of nature. By bringing Solitario to these pristine islands, we are offering a product that aligns with the environmental consciousness of the Maldives itself,” stated Ricky Vasandani, Founder, Solitario.
The first phase will culminate with the opening of a flagship Solitario boutique at Marina Crossroads, a 1,200 square feet duplex space positioned as the centerpiece of the brand’s Maldivian presence. Building on this momentum, the brand has already outlined its phase two expansion, which will include the addition of 15 more shop-in-shop locations along with a second flagship exclusive brand outlet, further strengthening its foothold in the Indian Ocean luxury market.
Solitario is aiming to lead the “green diamond” revolution, ensuring that every piece of jewellery contributes to a more sustainable future for the planet.
