Our Heritage

By Baccarat

Masters of Light

Crafted by those who speak the language of beauty to capture the island’s ethereal light. Sublime crystalline structures pay homage to the Maldives and paint the air in a thousand hues, creating a new standard as only Baccarat can.

Founded in 1764 by French King Louis XV

A symbol of elegance, a celebration of light. 

Baccarat’s legacy will unfold a new chapter in the Maldives. The iconic Juvisy service, which has adorned the ceremonial tables of the Elysée Palace since 1899, will find a new home, casting its light upon the pristine beauty of the Maldivian landscape, creating an oasis of opulence within the realm of SH Hotels & Resorts.
