Ifuru Island Maldives has introduced a new collaboration with Maldivian lifestyle brand Toddy, unveiling a limited-edition collection that brings together contemporary design, local creativity and the essence of island living. The exclusive Ifuru x Toddy collection has been thoughtfully developed to reflect the rhythm, colour and character of the Maldives, while offering guests a meaningful way to take home a piece of the destination. Available only at Ifuru Island Maldives, the collection highlights the resort’s continued focus on creating distinctive guest experiences that go beyond traditional hospitality.
Set in the heart of the Maldives, Ifuru Island Maldives has been steadily building its identity as a resort that blends modern luxury with authentic local inspiration. This latest collaboration adds a new dimension to that vision by transforming elements of the island’s natural beauty and signature experiences into stylish, functional keepsakes. Through this partnership, the resort presents not only a curated lifestyle offering, but also a celebration of Maldivian design and storytelling that speaks to international travellers seeking experiences with depth, character and a strong sense of place.
The collection features three signature creations: sunglasses, quick-dry beach towels and lenticular postcards. Each item has been designed to capture a different aspect of life at Ifuru Island Maldives, combining practical use with artistic expression. The result is a collection that is both visually striking and deeply connected to the environment and atmosphere of the resort, allowing guests to engage with the destination in a more personal and memorable way.
Among the standout pieces are the Ifuru x Toddy sunglasses, which draw inspiration from the vivid colours of the Maldivian reef and the unmistakable brilliance of the parrotfish. Designed as a bold expression of island artistry, the lightweight Mas (Ainu) shades offer a balance of style, comfort and performance. Featuring polarised TAC lenses with anti-glare technology and 100 per cent UV400 protection, the sunglasses are designed for sun-filled days by the water while maintaining a refined and contemporary aesthetic. Flexible yet durable frames, anti-slip detailing and protective lens coatings that resist saltwater corrosion further enhance their practicality, making them ideal for guests enjoying everything from relaxed beachside moments to ocean adventures.
The quick-dry beach towels reinterpret one of the resort’s most recognisable visual elements, Ifuru Island’s signature three palm trees. Elegant in design and highly functional in craftsmanship, the towels are made from absorbent microfiber that is lightweight, compact and exceptionally quick-drying. Created to transition effortlessly from beach to lagoon, they also feature sand-off technology woven into their structure, offering guests a practical yet sophisticated accessory for island life. By combining understated design with convenience and comfort, the towels reflect the resort’s wider approach of delivering luxury through thoughtful details.
Completing the collection are lenticular postcards, which offer a creative tribute to the changing beauty of island time. Designed to shift visually from bright daylight to the rich tones of sunset, the postcards capture the fleeting magic of a single day in paradise and transform it into an interactive keepsake. Their changing imagery creates a sense of movement and emotion, giving guests a lasting reminder of the atmosphere that defines a stay at Ifuru Island Maldives.
Commenting on the collaboration, Marcel Sawyer, General Manager of Ifuru Island Maldives, said the partnership is a celebration of Maldivian talent and storytelling. He noted that working with Toddy has created an opportunity to showcase local artistry through meaningful, design-led pieces that continue to resonate with guests long after they leave the island. His remarks reflect the resort’s broader commitment to supporting local creativity while enriching the visitor journey with products that feel both personal and distinctive.
Founded by siblings Fayaz and Riyaz, Toddy has grown from modest beginnings into a proudly Maldivian brand known for its strong storytelling identity. Inspired by generations of cultural narratives, from ancient seafaring legends to mythical tales, the brand has developed a unique design language that brings heritage into a contemporary setting. Through this collaboration with Ifuru Island Maldives, Toddy reinforces its place as an emerging creative voice in the region, while also demonstrating how local design can play an increasingly important role in shaping the luxury travel experience.
Riyaz described the collaboration as a special opportunity to translate the feeling of Ifuru into a small collection, with each piece carrying a sense of the island’s colour, movement and calm. He shared that Toddy has always believed the most meaningful items are those that hold a memory, and said the pieces were created not only to travel with guests, but to bring them back to their moments at Ifuru Island Maldives. His comments underline the emotional value behind the collection and the shared vision between the brand and the resort.
The launch of the Ifuru x Toddy collection further strengthens Ifuru Island Maldives’ position as a resort that embraces innovation, design and cultural authenticity. By working with a homegrown creative brand, the resort is offering guests more than retail items; it is presenting a curated extension of the island experience itself. For global travellers, the collection adds a deeper layer of connection to the destination, transforming everyday lifestyle pieces into reminders of the Maldives’ artistry, warmth and natural beauty.
Available exclusively at Ifuru Island Maldives, the collection offers guests a rare opportunity to engage with the destination through locally inspired design that is both elegant and enduring. As the resort continues to shape its identity within the international hospitality landscape, collaborations of this nature highlight its ability to combine luxury, creativity and Maldivian character in ways that leave a lasting impression.
