🏆Island Breeze's first full month with Sandbar. Island Breeze’s first full month with Sandbar. 11 of 12 hotels now selling. DusitD2 Feydhoo leads with 20 units, and no active hotel sold fewer than 3 units. Distribution is healthy — the top two properties account for only 36% of March sales.
🏄Bikinis and one pieces lead with 42 of 85 units (49%). Green Fern is the standout print — Maldives guests in March are activity-oriented. Rashguard depth and print variety should be the reorder priority heading into peak months.
📈March 2026: 85 units sold. The target for peak months (Dec-Jan) is 500 units per month — currently at 17% of that goal. Achievable at full stock depth across all 12 hotels, but requires a reorder placed before October.
Together, Island Breeze & Sandbar have removed 85 kg of plastic from the waters surrounding your resorts

Boutique Performance Tips
Placement and selling strategies specific to Maldives island resort boutiques.
1
Family Matching — Your Highest-Value Transaction
Maldives guests travel as families and budget for meaningful purchases. A family matching set (dad, mum, child) generates 3–4 units in one transaction at $300–$400+ retail. Display a mannequin trio in coordinating prints at eye level. Green Fern and Ocean Manta are your strongest matching prints — lead with these.
2
Embroidered Red Lobster — The Premium Gift Buy
The Embroidered Red Lobster short is Sandbar's top-performing SKU globally. Position it as a premium holiday souvenir — the kind of item a guest's partner buys for them, not one they pick up themselves. Retail at $130–$150, it sits comfortably within the Maldives resort gift-spend range. Keep it front-of-bay at all times.
3
Water Sports & Dive Centre Placement
Guests returning from diving, snorkelling, or watersports are relaxed, sun-warmed, and in a buying mood. A display card or small rack near the dive/watersports centre return point captures this high-conversion window. Kids rash guards and mens board shorts work best here — practical purchases guests justify as holiday kit.
4
Pool & Beach Towel Desk
Guests visit the towel desk daily. An A5 Sandbar display card here pointing to the boutique drives repeat footfall. Optimal timing is day 2–3 of a stay, once guests are settled and browsing is natural. The Ocean Plastic sustainability message on the card creates a conversation moment for staff.
5
Departure Window — Last-Day Gifting
The final morning before seaplane or speedboat transfer is prime gifting time. Guests are looking for meaningful take-home items. Position the embroidered range and womens bikinis near the reception/checkout area. Staff can reference the ocean plastic story as a natural conversation starter — "every item removes 1kg from the ocean."
6
Treat Every Delivery as a Drop Event
When a new Sandbar order arrives, brief the front desk, refresh the mannequin display, and put the room cards out for new arrivals that week. Guests who see "new in" messaging are significantly more likely to visit the boutique. The Ocean Manta and Green Fern prints drive the most repeat interest — rotate these to the front of display on each delivery.
Key Principle
Sandbar sells on story and visual — guests rarely seek out the product, they discover it. Every tip above is about increasing discovery moments. The family matching set is your most powerful commercial tool: one decision, three or four units, premium AOV.

How to read this table
Received = units shipped to Essence per the packing list. Inventory Remaining = Received minus Total Sold (Feb+Mar). Red = sold out. Amber = 1-2 units left. Ocean Manta sizes 30 and 32 show 0 received as they were never shipped — they appear in the Reorder tab as new stock additions.

Suggested Reorder
Based on Mar 2026 sales rates. Adjust quantities and download to send as an order.
How This Works
This sheet lists every SKU that sold in Mar 2026, with suggested reorder quantities for the next 90 days. Quantities are calculated at approximately 3x the monthly run rate to give adequate depth at the active hotels. Adjust any quantity using the input fields, then download as an Excel file to email directly to Sandbar.
This sheet: Replenishment, not peak season restock
The quantities on this sheet are based on current sell rates and are designed to replenish stock and top up inventory across active hotels — not to prepare for peak season. Based on typical Maldives resort performance patterns, December and January could deliver $20,000 in a single month at full depth. That requires approximately 450 units in stock across all 12 hotels. A separate peak season order should be placed by August at the latest to ensure delivery by October — allowing time for boutique setup before the high-season influx. For now, use this sheet to keep current momentum going.

Priority logic: High (3+ total sold) = rec 6 units. Medium (1-2 sold) = rec 3 units. Core (0 sold but in range) = rec 2 units. Ocean Manta sizes 30 and 32 flagged NEW STOCK (never shipped to Essence) — quantities based on size-curve logic (32 > 30). Inventory Remaining = received minus total sold Feb+Mar. Red = sold out, amber = 1-2 left.
Our Story
Who we are, why we exist, and what makes us different
"Designed by divers. Made from ocean plastic. Built for families who holiday together."
Sandbar was born in Singapore, founded by advanced divers who watched marine parks fill with plastic and decided to do something about it.
The Origin
Founded in Singapore by Mel Reid, a mother and advanced diver with over 100 dives across Malaysia, Thailand, the Maldives and the Philippines. After years of watching even marine parks succumb to ocean plastic, she built a brand that could make a measurable difference. Every piece Sandbar sells funds the removal of 1 kilogram of plastic from ocean coastlines and waterways across South East Asia.

The Mission
70% of the world's ocean plastic originates from South East Asia. Sandbar partners with Seven Clean Seas to fund direct beach and coastal cleanups with every item sold. Our swimwear is made from REPREVE recycled fabric — engineered yarn from 12 to 22 recycled plastic bottles per garment, with U-Trust traceability verification. Sustainability here is not a marketing claim. It is built into the fabric.
The only premium brand offering complete family-matching swimwear — men, women, boys, and girls — in the same print. A single family set drives multiple units per transaction and creates an emotional connection no other brand in this space delivers.
🧵
Embroidered Category
No brand globally competes in all-over embroidered swimwear at any price point. The Embroidered Red Lobster is Sandbar's best-selling product and commands a meaningful premium over printed swim. It is a category Sandbar owns outright.
🌊
Ocean Print Identity
Every print is named and tells a story — Ocean Manta, Pink Palm, Maldives Turtle, Ice Lolly. Guests in the Maldives are buying the Maldives Turtle print because it connects to where they are. That contextual relevance drives conversion that generic swimwear brands cannot replicate.
🏆
Premium Positioning
Priced between Vilebrequin and accessible premium brands, Sandbar sits in white space. Resort retail margins are strong — 40 to 50% on cost price — and the quality justifies the price point. Guests buy because it is genuinely worth wearing again at home.
♻️
Sustainability Story
Guests in the Maldives are acutely aware of ocean conservation. Sandbar is the only brand that lets them buy a beautiful product and directly fund plastic removal from the ocean they are swimming in. That story sells itself at the point of purchase.
📍
Singapore to NYC
Born in Singapore, now expanding into the US market from New York City. An international brand with Asian roots and a global growth story. The origin narrative is uncopiable and resonates with the international guest profile of luxury Maldives resorts.
Maldives Retail Calendar
Peak guest volumes by month. Use this to time reorder decisions and ensure depth in the right ranges ahead of high season.
Peak seasonShoulderLow season
Reorder timing: Place orders in October for the Dec-Jan peak. Place orders in April for the Jul-Aug shoulder. Current trajectory: March 2026 — 85 units sold, first full month on sale. Based on Maldives high-season patterns, December and January could realistically reach 500 units per month at full stock depth — approximately 6x the current run rate. This is anticipated volume based on seasonal patterns, not an externally imposed target. To capture it, a separate peak season order should be placed by August (90-day lead time) for delivery in October, allowing boutique setup before the high-season influx.
